As I fit these tires to my gravel wheels during a torrential rainstorm I thought they’d be in for some tough testing conditions, and also that their light tan rubber lugs and sidewalls were about to be drowned in a deluge of mud. And I was right. While Vittoria says they’re built to race in the ‘toughest mixed conditions’ I was keen to see how they would cope with deeper, claggier mud that might sit just beyond their intended remit.
The Terreno T60 PRO Mixed Gravel Race tyre is the most capable in its new Terreno PRO Gravel range, aimed at mixed surface riding. They’re built to handle demanding conditions, while also placing a strong emphasis on sustainability. Built with 92% renewable and recycled materials (which give it its distinctive natural brown colour) it’s the most environmentally conscious tyre Vittoria has ever created.
The tread uses a tightly packed, V-shaped formation intended to inspire confidence in cornering and maintain predictable handling across varied terrain. On mixed gravel surfaces, the tyre performed consistently well, offering dependable grip without feeling draggy on firmer ground.
Vittoria claims that the T60 PRO is 7% faster, 9% grippier, and 34% more puncture resistant compared to the average competitor, figures that on test, don’t feel unrealistic. From smooth tarmac to muddy trails and everything in between, acceleration was sharp, braking felt controlled, and cornering grip remained reassuring. But how do they stack up to our assessment of the best gravel tyres on the market?
