Feel like I might need something more robust for TCR than my current GP 4000S ii. Presume your Michelin pro's survived fairly well? How are they in the wet?
jakemcree-
I doubt they're as grippy as the 4000s but I've not crashed because of them. It's not like I'm pushing the handling limits of tyres during ultra races. I've done a TCR with 0 punctures on GP4000s and one with 0 punctures (and more gravel) on Pro 4 Endurance so it's a tough call. Just so long as you NEVER EVER EVER use road tubeless, you too will be as sexy to the rest of humankind as I am.

Always use tubes for road.
GP4000 28 come up at 31mm on 18mm rims. 28mm Pro 4 Endurance are true 28mm. GP5000 have even thinner sidewalls so dismissed them and I've tried TL version with tube. No fucking way would I want to try and work on those in the field during a race.
