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

If you don't need anything, just save until you do. Or buy the GP4000 and just wait until your current tires wear out before you put them on. No reason to take off perfectly good tires.

I would recommend the GP4000s (black chili) if you're going to race. Otherwise, just get whatever color you like. And I would recommend getting them on PBK either way. They're out of stock of the GP4000s right now, but it's worth the wait. They're ridiculously cheap.
