Yeah that's the point - new ones will probably be for sale at £45 from day one and work their way down to £35ish

According to the Conti rep they’re changing the range and phasing out old tyres because like Shimano they’re fed up of being price shagged. Can’t remember exactly what he said but the aim is that wiggle etc won’t be selling their tyres at trade anymore because they won’t be available OEM. They’ve found loads of shops dropping them because of the online pricing issues. I’m afraid new retail prices might actually hold up - can’t see anyone paying that for a delicate Conti road tyre though.
We told him we’d believe it when we see it.

Looks like £51.99 seems to be the starting point https://www.vanillabikes.com/products/continental-gp5000-folding-tyre
