Whether the extra grip is important or not doesn't really matter, it makes me feel better when I'm diving under someone in a corner.

Ordered a pair today, either as a backup for my main ride or to eventually replace some PR2s on another I ride less often.

Is it just me or do you people keep talking about these tires (or in their case "tyres") being $28 when it's actually 28 pounds? That's around $35 correct? not that it's a huge difference...
btw, I just bought one for my rear today.

The only difference between the 4000 with Black Chilli and the 4000S are the year models. The 4000 with BC are old stock. But its the same tire.

That's a good deal no matter how you look at it.

Damn. Then I guess they won't get the old ones back in stock. They were a lot cheaper. I guess I'll just go ahead and order two of the new style, even though I don't like the way they look and I don't like that they cost more...

I bought the 4000 black chilli (not the silver letter version) 2 weeks ago. I got the email that they were back in stock, ordered them, and shortly thereafter they were sold out again. I actually wanted the 4000s (silver letters), but they were out of stock and I wanted to get tires on my new wheels already. Since then, the 4000s has been back in and out of stock twice.

I just checked this morning and they are out of stock on the black chili version but have the 4000s.

How do these compare to Krylion Carbons insofar as puncture resistance.

yes. I have about 1k miles on the 4 season, they have a tough side wall, good puncture resistance (so far), and I use them for foul weather/winter riding. The rear is developing a slight flat spot, but no other problems to note.
Also, look what's back in stock!

Might have to pull the trigger on a pair to match up with the Aksiums I bought from PBK!

Last night I ordered the more expensive GP4000S. Today I get an e-mail that the much cheaper GP4000 with black chili are back in stock.$6 cheaper, and apparently the same tire with different writing on it.

2 GP4000S (the less flashy, but cheaper ones)
9 speed 105/LX chain
3 cheap front "see me" lights w/batteries.
~$75. the chain would be $30 at the LBS, and the tires $50-60 each. geezuz
