I too was not impressed with the Gavia tires. They fit so loose that they fell out of place any time I let half the air out and I couldn't even get them to seat after taking them off to clean the old sealant out. Replaced them with Vittoria Corsa which picked up punctures galore and even a gash that wouldn't seal (Orange Seal). I have been much happier with the GP5000 tires, but they are expensive as hell so I have a pair of American Classic Timekeepers on the other set of wheels which seem to be working fine (at about half the price of the Contis), and a pair of Goodyear F1 on deck for when the Contis wear out.
