Think they have possibly moved production in house?
From what I understood, Pirelli were previously having their bike tyres made by Hutchinson. -
Don't know if the Tyre Glider tool has passed by on the forum yet. Looks like a silly product but I always struggle to put on tyres with my spaghetti strength arms and thumbs. No more since I started using it last year. https://tyreglider.co.uk/
And unlike those oversized tools by BBB and the like, this just fits in my saddlebag.

Anyone bought and fitted Cinturato Velos recently? I've been running them for a couple of years without issues, but fitted one last night which was a massive struggle to get onto the rim (same rim had fitted the same model without issues previously). The bead seemed materially tighter so wondering if they've changed the spec or build-up? Wouldn't fancy getting this on/off on the roadside tbh
