They're still not a night and day improvement but a noticeable one.
I would look at gatorskins for high mileage, I am still testing the re-fuse (they get lots of great reviews in this regard)
Yes, the GP 4 Seasons are expensive. However, I got mine for something like $35 each from PBK a few years back. They were definitely worth the money.
Nothing wrong with Gatorskins. I rode to work on them this morning. However, based on my experience, I would put them one notch below the 4 Seasons in terms of mileage, ride-quality, and wet-weather traction.
I am curious about the Maxxis Re-fuse, however. I'd be interested to know how the ride-quality compares to Gatorskins.
