There was a piece of rubber taken out with cords showing, which I filled in with Shoe Goo, but it appears that the spot rubbed a hole in the tube on the inside of the tire. The tire has about 4K miles on it.

I got those GP 4S tires brand new at a very deep discount from a friend, so basically I can't get the same deal again. I'm looking for a 700x25 tire, folding bead, preferably in the $30-$40 range or less. I use the tires primarily for commuting almost 100 miles weekly. Flats aren't really a problem for me, as the GP 4S tires only flatted on me once while out riding, back about 2.5 months ago, and it was that same rear tire.

I liked the GP 4S light weight, at only 220 grams on my scale. I don't mind a little more weight, but would rather avoid a 500+ gram tire, which is what my bike's original Vittoria Zaffiro wire-bead tires weigh (I hate wire bead tires with a passion).

Any suggestions?
