I love the Pro One, and have Power Road TLR in service, about which I agree with
WhyFi that they’re not quite as supple as Pro One, but I wouldn’t call them a downgrade; my Power Roads aren’t getting tread cuts on every ride like One, at least. The new Power Cup looks to be pushing out some improvements which may make it the tire to beat in my mind, so I’ll definitely be giving those a go before long.
I also love the Pro Ones, but I find it a little intense for a tire to become squared-off after only 3000kms (1800 miles!). I mean, I am not a heavy rider at all and they're always inflated to the proper pressure before each ride.
Were the Power Road TLR discontinued this year? Because I see them everywhere in stock online. With my hookless rims, I am restricted into what rubber I can safely use. The Power Road is tested & approved. The Power Cup isn't. I bet they are just as safe, but I'd rather not take the risk or eating tarmac at 70km/h because of a blow-out.
