Probably $25 from wiggle before they are even released due to the race to close all IBD's

No kidding..in the shop, we agreed to sell Micheln after the sales reptile gave us the 'pitch'..really good including about how the tires are price controlled..so..we ordered a bunch and the day after we received a pile of "brand new to this year", new model tires...Excel had them on deep sale discount..adios Michelin...

Hey guys, thanks for the several people who have PM'd me about getting tires, but I don't sell tires online.
I just thought everyone wanted a heads up about soon to be shipped tires, so I leaked the already leaked tire announcement.

You can have it in any (sidewall) color as long as it's black:

I guess it'll continue to be Vittoria Corsas for me.

If the price on 4000s drops...I will buy more of them as they seem to last under my 175 pound lard ass... (I am 5-10) and have had only one flat this year with them. The 25 mm tires make my Cervelo ride well over imperfect roads and seem to last a lot longer than Michelin Pros. YMMV.

$34 here and 25mm in stock https://www.probikekit.com/bicycle-t.../10918169.html

I have been buying my tires from PBK almost exclusively for over 10 years.

A whopping 58USD from Merlin.

Continental handling their business?

650c appears to be done.

Canyon (maybe Ben Serotta too) is pushing proper road 650b for smaller cyclists.

Bike Tires Direct has the Conti 4000s on sale for $29.95 today. I'll try the 5000s some day, but the 4000s are simply too cheap for me to resist.

Dang, that is the same boat in which I am similarly finding myself.
Continental 4000s II tires have given me such good performance I will need to “bite the bullet” to try their latest.
The feature that is nice about that factory is it has historically been a meaningful change when launching a new version.

Lordgun has the 700x23 GP5000, $44.61 each + ~$15 shipping if somebody wants to try them and report back.

They have the TLR in stock too but quite a bit more expensive.
