“I had no idea branded butyl tires were this cheap now! I used to get the generic “Rocket” branded ones; mainly because I could just throw them in a jersey, and no care if I leave them out in the sun.
Realistically, these pirelli ones are probably just churned out of the same factory as the cheaper tires. I’m just surprised they don’t have an extra mark up for the brand name.
I was just wanting these as a backup set for commuters, and something that would fit my 404 Zipp rims in a pinch.
I didn’t bother weighing them, since if I wanted a weight weenie set, I’ll use TPU, Latex, a tubeless setup or tubulars.
They’re a set of inner tubes. They’re consumable. They fit. They’re cheap. The presta valves don’t leak. They’re perfect for just stocking up; especially now petrol prices are going up!”
