I saw article that says road tire life is 2-4K miles so guess it’s about time. Anybody have similar experience with GP5000s? Notice any significant delta between it and GP4000? Love both tires but might switch to Gatorskins since I’m more concerned with life than rolling resistance at this point.
There's something unusual about this picture, viz., the narrowness of the wear band. It doesn't even go into the tops of the tread patterns and I don't see much squaring off of the profile. Did you run this thing with very high pressure?
