My Continental Grand Prix 4000S tires showed up last week
I've not had them long enough for much of a review (just over 100 miles). They look great, ride is good, I'm not sure it's any better then Michelin Pro2Race or Vittoria EVO Corsa I've used in the past. They were fairly easy to mount on my Bontrager rims. Time will tell on wear.

I have about 500 miles on mine and have found them to be great compared to my Pro2 but in the rain they are not as planted.
Last weekend I was riding a new MUP which is still underconstruction. All was great as I had the path to myself and I was flying along. Suddenly it all got very heavy going, I assumed that my brakes were rubbing. When I stopped I descovered that I had started to sink into the still soft tarmac! The GPs had a nice layer on them which took another 30km to clear off. So I now have Conti GP Hardcases
