was a michelin pro 4 guy before the conti gp 5000's and was happy with them but bought a pair for a vintage nishiki build
in may 2020 to see what all the hype was about. have since slapped conti gp 5000's on the other three road bikes. love
love the conti gp 5000's. rocking the '23's for all four bikes (with tubes) and have had two flats total (on different bikes)
in a year and approx 6,000 miles. roads around san diego highly mixed in terms of quality and have taken the tires on
the occasional mile, or four, of gravel dirt w/o regret. like the neil diamond composition/monkees song...i'm a believer.
they ain't cheap (probikekit.com does flash sales on them approx every month tho) but, imho, they're worth it for the
speed, feel, response and durability. $20 pricier (on sale) than the michelin pro 4's but happy enough with them to pay the difference.
