Graphene
So what was Vittoria thinking with this graphene stuff. My go to all around tire for best balance between durability and ride has long been the Vittoria Rubino Pro 3. They roll reasonably well, never flat, and last almost forever. It has now been discontinued in favor of newer Rubino Pro versions with graphene. According to Rollingresistance.com, adding graphene to the mix has increased rolling resistance and weight while decreasing punture protection. So that would imply they have replaced a great tire with something not as good. What am I missing?

Also, I've noticed in the past that website never touches the question of tread life. Any improvements there, they will not catch.
