Shuffle in the Conti line up
Have not seen this mentioned: https://www.conti-online.com/www/bicy...emes/News2014/
Some of it looks like new names and color on the same tires, but I am sure the 28mm GP4000S will be of interest to some.

The old 25s are close to 28mm anyway.

While I haven't been running GP4000Ss, the other Continentals I've run have been very close to advertised size. Unlike Michelins which really do run large. Are the GP4000S the exception?

26.5 and 27mm with 90psi on CXP22 and 33 rims.
In other news how do the Grand Prix GTs rate? Seems like they might be the go for my endurance rides out the back of nowhere.

25mm and 28mm GP 4 Seasons seem to run true to size on 19.5mm wide DT Swiss 585s. The Michelin Pro Optimums definately run over their stated 25mm more like 27-28mm.

My 4000's in 25 measure 26.5mm and this has been consistent (I've been through several pairs).

I'm ready for the 28s if Ribble or PBK stock them.

To be fair its stated in the OPs link that its a facelift.
Perhaps they'll no longer have "Handmade in Germany" on the sidewalls.
