Are these claims even remotely true? I can’t find any information about them, and the tires are only available through the official Vittoria site.
Curiously, this linked article indicates the same extra mileage as you have, though 2 paragraphs or so later, it says the opposite somehow holds true for the off-road versions of the same tires?
