Vittoria Terreno T70 Gravel Endurance G2.0 TLR Tire Brown, 700x45

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “The center tread carries speed way better than most aggressive gravel tires, and the shoulder knobs bite hard when you lean it over. The Endurance casing is tough without feeling dead, and the sidewall protection is confidence-boosting on sharp rock. If your routes blur the line between XC and gravel, this tire is exactly the middle-ground sweet spot.”We choose the Terreno T70 when the gravel ride turns into something much rougher—chunky, loose, unpredictable terrain where speed matters but control matters more. Borrowing its DNA from Vittoria’s Mezcal XC tread, the T70 blends fast-rolling efficiency with the bite and stability needed for coarse gravel. A weather-resistant Endurance Formulation keeps grip consistent across changing conditions, and the full-depth siping adds confident traction when the surface breaks apart under the wheels. On long-distance adventure routes, the Endurance Casing smooths chatter without sacrificing control, offering enough compliance to stay comfortable while maintaining the durability needed for loaded bikepacking or aggressive gravel racing. A reinforced nylon sidewall layer teams up with an anti-puncture belt and Bead Shield protection to keep flats to a minimum, even when sharp rock and deep ruts define the route ahead. For riders who blur categories and chase everything from rugged fire roads to backcountry connectors, the T70 delivers predictable handling and stable grip in terrain where lesser gravel tires lose composure.
