The New Hottness

My race is this weekend, and nightmare scenario number one is getting a flat 1. To that end I went to Sports Basement yesterday evening and got some new tires, and put them on last night before dinner. It was goodbye to my old Continental Four Seasons, touring tires that have taken me upwards of 2,000 miles, and hello to shiny new Continental 4000 Grand Prix, racing tires. Red racing tires. 205 grams.



1. Actually, I guess it's number two. Number one is getting eaten by a shark. Silly, I know, but I saw Jaws at a formative age.

Does the bike feel any faster with them on? I'm a fanatic about rolling resistance and seeing a smooth tire that goes up to 125psi sounds pretty dang cool.
mat!
I've only taken it on one (quick, short) 9 mile ride, because I'm tapering this week, so it's really too soon to say. I'll ride another short one, but let you know after my Tri on Sunday. They certainly felt more responsive to me, but that could have been the short ride talking.

Those are some sweet ass looking tires! I've heard good things about the Continental GP 4000. What kinda bike do you have? Looks like a Trek... ("Handmade in USA")
