Weight difference w/Vittoria Open Corsa CX 25 vs 23?
Moderator: robbosmans
Anyone have any idea what the weight difference is between a 25 vs. 23 in Vittoria Open Corsa CX?
I ride 25's, a pal rides 23's, he asked me what the weight difference was, to which I had no idea. Recent vintage models in 23 vs. 25 aren't on the listings here either.
(Short of taking tires off and weighing them on a gram scale, I thought I'd ask here first.)
Obviously it's splitting hairs, but the number is the number and that's all I'm looking for.
If ya got it, many thanks!

21: 221g and 212g, both with some mileage on.
Vittoria.com lists as 210gm and 220gm. IME I have found Vittoria claimed weights to be quite consistent with real weights. I just installed a set of 25c 320TPI and they weighed in at exactly 220gm. With only a 10gm difference between the 23c and 25c it is sort of a no brainer to choose the 25c tire...less rolling resistance, more comfortable and slightly more durable. EM3

If the 25 fits your frame comfortably, of course...
Road bike: Cervelo R3, Campagnolo Chorus/Record mix...
Supercommuter: Jamis Renegade...
Oldie but goodie: De Rosa Professional Slx, Campagnolo C-Record...

That, sir, is the nail on the head. I doubt if his bike will fit 'em. It's already ridiculously tight w/Zipp 303's and AX Orion brakes, to the point the brake quick release has to be left wide open. There's no way 25's would squeeze in there.
