The grippy feeling and rolling actually feel better than the Specialized turbo tubeless I was running previously. Quite the reversal!
I haven't ridden on many different tires, only other ones were Gatorskins that came on the used bike I started with, and the Vittoria tires that came stock on my Transonic. The GP4Ks were leaps and bounds better than both of those. I do think the GP5Ks are a bit better than the 4Ks, but I like the sizing of the 23mm 4Ks better on these wheels (and the price! lol).
