Yeah, I'd like to know what any of youse blokes reckon on GP4000's too.
I've used Michelin Pro-Races in the past but they seemed a bit fragile and I got sick of flats.
I've been using Schwalbe Stelvio's since last year and apart from barely any flats (that's gone and done it) they're lasting really well - 3000km's and still looking good. I use 'em for commuting, training, racing, getting the milk etc etc. Probably not much bling factor but hell, I want to ride on 'em, not look at 'em.
