Translate 'Rubino' from Italian and<br />
it comes out as 'bright red<br />
gemstone. The Italian tyre gurus<br />
at Vittoria obviously hold their<br />
new graphene road tyre in high<br />
regard - and, it does indeed<br />
perform extremely well, like a<br />
little gem!<br />
The roads around this part of the<br />
Yorkshire Dales can be tight and<br />
twisty, with patches of loose<br />
gravel on the edges and corners.<br />
The descents are steep and fast,<br />
requiring full concentration, so<br />
knowing that you've got the tyre<br />
on your side helps. This is<br />
especially so during the time of<br />
year when the farmers add to the<br />
complexities by cutting back the<br />
hedgerows, leaving thorns and<br />
other tyre piercing debris along<br />
the lanes. Ideal conditions for<br />
testing tyres I'd say!
