Pro 4's are starting to crop up...closeout pricing, no doubt.

[Vinci]

That's an even better deal than the UK vendors are offering, once shipping and transaction fees are included.

[bluestu]

thanks for the tip - free shipping once you're over $50 too...

How do the pro 3's compare to Conti GP4000S's and Vittoria Open Corsa's??

[moose8]

the k10 tires that are on sale are nice, too. I really like mine.

Folks differ on the details, but in general on the bike I consider these just about equivalent. Both are very good tires. YOMV (your opinion may vary)

IMHO....the contis wear much better and therefore last much longer

[wasfast]

...the GP4000s's also aren't $30 each......

[cookietom]

For $60 a pair,,,,,ship free and tax free....I am not complaining about the wear of the tires.....Cheapest price I can find for 4000S in Sportsbasement.com $61 each.

[oldguy00]

You can get 4000S's from pbk for about $40 each (if you buy two or more) with free postage.
Anyway, when it comes to tires, $10 either way doesn't matter to me much if it means getting a better tire.
I thought I had read in the past that Pro 3's cut pretty easy, but have never tried them myself...

[ischon]

pro race threes are incredible race day tires.

like others have said, they cut easy, but if you dont have road tubulars and want a good pair of race tires, these are a good way to go. they also race really well in wet weather with slightly lower pressure.
dont train on them, just race on them. I left a pair on after race season and they werent too bad (2 flats in around 200 hours of riding), but again, 30$ a tire is a great deal.

i just bought a few...

I havent had flat issues with PR3's but they certainly wear faster than conti4000s on clean dry bay area asphalt. at $30/ea hard to go wrong...wasn't saying not to buy...but someone did ask the comparison question...I bought some...and also have a small pile of conti4000s I picked up when they were down around $32/ea from PBK and others.
