The GP 4 season is a much better tire that's why they're more expensive. 330 TPI Vs 180 TPI for the Gatorskins. More layers of material. Reinforced sidewall.
The Gatorskin Hardshell is an improvement over the Gatorskin.
What I can no longer find on the website or catalog is the difference in Rubber compounds. I had read earlier that the GP 4 season had the Black Chili rubber while neither Gatorskin did.
My experience has been the 4 Seasons do grip much better so perhaps they still do have the Black Chili compound?
