I am new to this forum and this is the question I have. I know that your post was 3 years ago but bare with me.

I just put a new set of Conti Grand Prix 4k's 700x23c on my wheel set and noticed how easy it was to get the tire past the brake pad. Usually I have to pound the wheel past the brake pads and it is a pain in the ass. Ah-Ha I thought, what would happen if I take the pressure out when finished riding? It could'nt hurt!
What would the benifit be other than easy changing. Can the tires keep their narrow profile longer, would this help with performance, ie. less rolling resistance?

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks
