Gatorskin 700x23 folding = 230g, $27 each at PBK
4-Seasons 700x23 folding = 224g, $37 each at PBK
Supposedly, the 4-Seasons tires use a slightly different rubber for better grip in wet/cold conditions. I've used both and didn't notice much difference. I do usually use these only on the back, and use a more supple tire (like a ProRace or GP4000) on the front.
