Sub $35 Conti GP4KS at PBK
#26
Steel is real, baby!
I got the PBK email today. Too late, as I just bought a couple of new ones from my LBS 2 days ago. I'd stock up, but as long as these tires last me, I'm worried that the rubber would dry up in the Arizona desert heat before I could actually use them!

I almost bought a pair and I already have 4 sets. Granted they're all in use but those prices are hard to pass up. Next time.

Wait till you try Vittoria Open Corsa's. 2 total flats from 3 pairs of Attack/Forces and a pair of 4000S' while using Race Light and Supersonic tubes. One from hitting a humongous pothole big enough to leave a slight dent in my rim while riding in a big group, and the other was from riding the tire all the way down to the tube. I probably have had 8 flats since starting to use Open Corsa's just 5 months ago. Don't get me wrong they roll nicer, but not that much better. Not significantly enough for everyday use and training. Now I'm back on 4000S' and never looking back.

Unless I'm looking in the wrong place it seems like they're gone. Ugh, was just looking for a good deal on them a couple days ago.

For those who missed the deal, don't fret too much. These pop up every few months.
When they do, stock up.

you're welcome folks, seems that if I buy a single tire, the twin pack comes back in stock. I waited like a month for the twin pack to come back in stock, and a few days ago, I couldn't wait any longer, so I bought them individually. Of course a few days later they're back in stock. Second time that happens to me with the twin pack.
