Aaaaah, this rings a bell. Timely reminder as I've just ordered a pair for track.

Untimely reminder for me, as I just glued a new set on last week. I could just re fit the rear and turn the front wheel around...
And I always thought it was bad slow pedalling technique that made me slip at the top of the banking.

Vittoria tubs carry their branding on the shoulder on one side of the tyre.
The branding is more slippy than the rest of the tyre so the tub should be glued so as to put this on the non drive side of the bike as it won't be in contact with the track while riding slowly if it is on this side.
More of an issue on single sided rear wheels than front or flip flop rears but even then, anyone with the slightest pride in their work would glue the tub so that when the wheel is fitted with the hub logo logo in the correct orientation the tyre logo is on the nds.
