I would never know if I prefer one over the other if I never tried the other. However, at that price differential, I want to ask people who have ridden both, is it even worth it to try?
I'd say no. Too much price difference (70% more expensive?). Never ridden GP5Ks, but I've been using Pro Ones for the past 3 seasons and I have no complaints whatsoever. They wear fast so I buy 3 tires and swap the rear one mid season.
I used to get the 28mm Pro Ones for 40-50$, but with the increased demand for 28mm tires, they are now close to 70$. 30mms are 25$ cheaper than 28mms, which is total BS if you ask my opinion.
