I didn't think I had, reading through the last few pages others rate them for their puncture resistance (over four seasons). But I guess that isn't the case for daily riding / racking up miles?
So it's between Ribmo's and Gravel Kings, anyone thats used both could recommend one over the other?

Writing gp4000sII and gp4s when referring to the same tyre (GP4000SII) might confuse given the existence of actual GP4S (http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/continental-grand-prix-4-season-2015) which are different tyres.
"4 Season is thinner than the GP4000S II (2.7 mm Vs 2.9 mm). The sidewalls are a bit thicker at 0.7 mm Vs 0.55 for the GP4000S II."
"One of the main selling points of the 4 Season is its claimed high puncture resistance. With a score of 17 points in the puncture resistance test, the 4 Season performs excellently. 17 points is a much better score than the 11 points the GP4000S scored."

I have used both this winter into spring, 28mm on my tourer. Had to ditch the GKs after many a punc in highly flinty + damp conditions just kept glueing stones to the rubber and I didn't check it enough to stay on top of removal.
Ribmos haven't had any puncs, but they don't feel as nice. Will switch back as soon as I stop commuting along that particular stretch.
Prior to this particular commute this winter I hadn't had any problems with GKs.

Don't confuse 4 Seasons with 4000SIIs
