Description
Terreno Dry bridges the gap between dry and mixed tires. The key is the unique angled "fish-scale" design, which allows the center tread to roll extremely fast, while providing traction when loaded in corners and under braking.
With TNT (Tube - NoTube) technology, the tire has an extra layer in its sidewall and is suitable for both tubed and tubeless driving.
Tubeless TNT, extreme protection against punctures!
Vittoria Gravel tires use a puncture-resistant layer placed on the carcass, under the tread. It's made of nylon, a tough but lightweight material. Tubeless TNT versions use two layers of nylon on the sidewall. They protect the sides of the tire from cuts and punctures caused by stones and thorns. This TNT construction gives you a very robust and hard-wearing tire, suitable for tubeless and tubeless riding.
Graphene
Vittoria gravel tires use a unique Graphene compound. The central tread compound minimizes rolling resistance and punctures, while extending tire life. The shoulder area uses 2 separate Graphene compounds. The base compound provides a stable base for cornering loads, while ensuring protection against cuts. The surface compound offers ultimate cornering confidence in both wet and dry conditions.
How to measure tire wear?
To measure the wear of your road tires and know when they need changing, you need to look at the condition of the tread. Signs of wear can be:
- the tread begins to fray,
- a series of micro-cracks,
- the tread tends to flatten,
- the carcass appears.
These are all cases where the tire is worn and should be replaced.
How do I dismount a tire?
To remove the tire, deflate the tube until no more air comes out.
You can then remove the tire from the rim using a tire lever.

- Preventive fluid
- A tubeless ready compatible rim
- A foot pump or compressor
How to properly inflate a tire?
Inflate your tire with care. The recommended pressure is indicated on the tire's sidewall and on the product data sheet.
Also check that your tire pressure is correct before each outing.
Pro tip
When inflating your tire, make sure you set the right pressure for the terrain you're riding on and, above all, for the weather.
If you're riding in wet weather, don't hesitate to lower the tire pressure to increase grip.
Conversely, if you're riding in dry weather, you can increase the pressure.
