  • GP5000 are race tyres tho init. Just that everyone and their nans buys race tyres to ride 60k in Surrey

  • Fair point.

    Though I'm looking at 32mm and maybe I'm old fashioned enough not to equate with race tyres. I'd still like to make her 1400k through the mountains as easy as possible.

    Are there any tyres in the 28-32mm range that are actually available in the UK that are competitive with the GP4000/5000 stuff? I like the Pro 4 Endurance but they're only in true 28mm and roll slower than the Contis due to extra protection.

  • Pirelli P Zero Race TLR are nice but I haven’t done enough distance on them to find out about puncture resistance

    Not sure I’ve read the brows properly, they’re not likely to be priced that differently from GP5000s

    I bought a box full of Conti / Schwalbe from one of the German retailers the other day - It think it was bike-discount.de, and they had good availability of both tubeless and tubed. I got hit for customs, but it was a big box (partly because I forgot to remove a couple that I didn't want from my basket before paying) so overall landed price not too bad.
