Conti 4000s vs All-Seasons
Just picked up my Seven Ti custom bike. All is great, except LBS put Conti All-Seasons on Mavic OP wheels instead of GP 4000s, as agreed. (700x25). Heard great things about performance/durability of 4000s, nothing about All-Seasons. What's your experience - don't want to fuss if they're comparable, though I'm annoyed. -- Kocsis |

If the 'L' in LBS is really L, then take 'em back and get what you ordered/agreed/paid (to and for). Bill "IMO" S. |

What's your experience - don't want to fuss if they're comparable, though I'm annoyed. The GP4000 will be a slightly-faster, slightly-smoother-riding (more comfortable) tire, due to its more-flexible casing. Durability should be a bit better on the 4-Seasons (which is what I think that tire is actually called?). Pricing is fairly similar; maybe $6 more/tire on the GP4000. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA "Kocsis" wrote in message ...

For this time of year, I recommend "4" Seasons, with it's stronger sidewalss and worry about a racing tire when you actually race or when the roads have less crap on them...the are GP3000 '4 seasons', right? A GP with more 'stuff' in the side wall, a great tire. |

Do you REALLY think that you can tell the difference?
The 4-Seasons is a much better winter tire. |

skrev: GP 4Season is my favorite tire. Surprisingly it has not only better better grip and puncture resistance than the GP3000 - according to a recent test in German bike magazin "Tour" It also has lower rolling resistance. GP 4000 wasn't in the test, and I haven't tried it yet- but with the 4Season I am sure you have got one of the best tires in the market. It isn't cheap, but you don't mind, do you?

Pricing is fairly similar; maybe $6 more/tire on the GP4000. How does the GP4000 compare to the Michelin Carbon Pro2's? TIA Don't know; haven't tried the Michelins. I suspect they'll be similar, as I've heard good things about them, but I limit my comments to what I've experienced or observed directly. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA "Paul Cassel" wrote in message ...
