Continental GP4000s II 700x28 mm

[slogfester]

Anyone managed find some of these yet? Continental launched them 6(?)months a go, but I still cant find anyone with stock and the supply time keeps getting put back.

Still waiting for these. Even Wiggle have given up on Continental!

It's probably academic to Barry if GP4000s doesn't come in 28mm but any idea whether the premium for GP4000s II compared to GP4000s is worth it?

One of the guys I work with races on these and thinks the 4000S IIs offer much better grip.

Threw the towel in waiting for 28 mm. Even the German suppliers can't get them.
Received my new 25 mm today, 24 hours after Toby sold his

The tyres have been well reviewed for their handling, grip and rolling resistance. But we will have to wait for longevity. Continental are either being massively optimistic or pessimistic (missing a decimal place?) with their packaging:

Can't say I have been impressed the longevity of the 25 mm 4 seasons, having chewed through a rear in less than 3000 km in the winter. (But the rear has faired better during the summer lasting c. 5000 km so far).

Lovin the new tyres. Tres sticky and noticeably smoother/softer ride than the 4 seasons.

Pimp my Van Nic....
