Great Tyres
5Needed a fast tyre (don't we all?) I haven't race for years, so I don't have a fully spec'd race bike with speedy tyres for the weekend anymore, but life is too short to ride round on tyres that feel like a piece of garden hose on the rim compared to silk tubs. I used some Pro 3 Race for 1500 miles - no probs. They get a bad rap for being fragile, and while they are pretty flimsy I had no troubles. Yet the doubt is always there that you are vulnerable to the odd sharp thing on the ground, so I tried various options, and found that the Conti Grand Prix is a great balance of 'race-able' and durable (the Rapha Condor JLT team race them in 25mm). I have switched to 25mm, and the benefits are tremendous. Try it, you'll be amazed. There are some very mixed reviews about tyres, but honestly, I am no noob that is giving subject opinions here - I've been a cyclist for 32 years, raced since I was 14, had LOOK pedals in 1986!! (everyone said they'll never catch on.....), won road races, and rode the junior nation road champs (with Chris Boardman among others), so I'm not without a decent frame of reference lol. And I'm VERY fussy about my kit too :-) Good tyres for crits and rough roads particularly, but they belt along on the smooth stuff too. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Good Honest Training Tyres
4These are good honest all rounders for training and I am hoping that they will give me good service over winter. the higher profile than the tyres that I usually ride is proving comfortable and smooth and they handle like a racing tyre. The rim fit is easy and they grip very well.

Great Training Tyre
5Needed to replace last years training tyre which was great not one puncture and did 10,000km. Decide to give Conti another try, had a bad run on GP4000's, so brought these. So far 1000km done and they are awesome. Roll great, handle well in dry and wet and so far no punctures.

the Standard
5I got the Grand Prix because it was available in 25c, which I like for rear tire use. The last one I had wore to the threads and was still going after at least 4,000 miles, maybe more. This and the GP4000 are the road standards in my mind against which all others are judged. When you can get them on sale it's a no brainer...stock up!
