Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

So I ordered two GT4000 tires from probikekit. Both have these two small dimples in the thread. Is this normal?

If you look at the bop of one of the leafs inside the box it shows these. They are to show you when the tire is worn and needs to be replaced.
Enjoy those tires, they are great.

Jeez and there are people here who would pay a lot more for items with dimples, and you're complaining?
Sheesh!
