Am I going to notice much of a difference going from these to Conti/Vittoria/Vredestein? I'll be needing a new set soon and I've only used these and ProRaces.
I can't find the exact Stelvio on any websites (must be an old model), but the one I had was similar to this, but with a thicker, raised centre strip


In my opinion, they aren't race-worthy. Assuming yours are similar, I expect you'd notice a difference. Do you notice a difference between them and the Michelins? To try an expensive tyre, I usually just buy one and put it on the front. The only tyre I was blown away by was the Vittoria Open Corsa KS. The GP400s have had great reviews.
