That's a discounted price???  I hope he meant to say $75/pair of tires not per tire...

Assuming you mean GP 4000s, $75 is like the list price per tire at Performance Bike, and they always have stuff "discounted" off that.  I think their normal price is about $65 per tire.

Here's a youtube review from Performance Bike:

Note that the "S" makes this the great tire, a GP 4000 is a completely different tire.

I have a couple hundred miles on a set, so far, so good, they do seem to roll better than my Vittoria Rubino Pro Slicks.

Thanks for that. I just picked up a set. $78.92 with free shipping. Can't beat that price anywhere... and believe me, I've been looking! 

Count me in!  And I bought a set of their Gatorskins too.  Four tires for less than $160...

The chipseal around here is devastating my tires on a daily basis.  I'll probably run the Gatorskins regularly and switch to the 4000S a few weeks before a race.....

Thanks for the link and coupon code, got 2 sets coming.

Used them for the last few years, great tire

Yep - I ordered  pair.  Third pair from them.

enjoy,

Duane

Thanks for the code!

Just ordered a new pair.

Have a century at the end of the month and was ready to get a new pair.

edit: guess I should check my email now and then. had the code there. lol

Just tried purchasing from probikekit but the code doesn't work anymore...anybody else know of other discount codes?

Thanks!

Marc

I just bought a pair using the code

78.92 for a pair. Looking forward to getting rolling on them.

I just tried to buy them at a shop near my office. He had them listed for 69.99+tax=74.89.  I asked for a discount and he told me that this was a really good price...  I passed...

I'm all for doing business locally and do, but don't kill me on everything .

GP4000s get generally good reviews. Long wearing & fast rolling.  Perhaps not the most supple or smooth riding tire in this price class (vs Vittoria Open Corsa, Michelin ProRace, etc), but any tire has trade-offs.  Some (not all) on biking forums have reported GP4k's sidewalls can be susceptible to road hazards.

FWIW- My fav all-round clincher is Vittoria Rubino Pro Slick, which is  cheaper (street price anyway), (IMHO) more resistant to road hazard, & sl better riding- although  sl slower rolling than GP4s. I generally get around 3-4k miles out of rear tire, then put new one on front & old front on rear.  For events I use Michelin ProRace, which is sl faster/smoother but not as durable or long-lasting as RP's.  These give me ~2-2500mi wear (rear tire). 

BTW- According to Continental (and testing by German Tour magazine- which uses Conti's testing gear), GP4000S is not their fastest race clincher.  That would be their Attack/Force combo (F/R different tires), although those tires have much less treadwear/durability for training. 

Agree with others that I try to support LBS whenever I can, but USD$75ea seems like list price rather than discount.
