Anyone have any feed back on either of these tires?  I was going to buy Gatorskins today and came across the best deal on these two but do not know anything about either.  Purely training tire, not for racing.

 

Thanks

Gatorskin's are tough tough tough tires, however, they are not as nimble as the GP4's. On my road bikes that I am not racing I always use gatorskins
for racing though the GP 4's would be a better option.

I have GP 4000's on race wheels and was looking for Gatorskins for training wheels.  I've never heard of Ultra Gatorskins and before hitting the buy button the "ultra" part made me stop and think considering it's a training tire.

For a trainer tire, the gatorskins are about as bulletproof as you get, though you sacrifice a little rolling resistance, and I find they're less sticky in hard turns, so keep that in mind.

I've swapped over the GP 4000s for both racing and training and have no regrets.

4 Seasons ride way nicer. If colder temps I'd do 4 Seasons. Gatorskins get greasy in temps near freezing.

If you develop a strategy for the off-season, you can go into the next season stronger than you ended the past season.
