Zatek Posted July 2, 2014 Share I need to kit my carbon deep section wheels out with tires. I did some research and have narrowed my choices down to the following. These will only be used for racing not training. GP4000SGP4000S2Conti Force Attack comboUltremo ZX I have used GP4000 and Ultremo ZX and I can't fault the 2 but Ultremo was lighter and require less effort for high speed according to the web. Does anybody else have other information I shiuld consider or information? Edited July 2, 2014 by Zatek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quintonb Posted July 2, 2014 Share Have you considered Vittoria Diamanté or Open Corse CX range. Sorry just throwing a spanner in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatek Posted July 2, 2014 Share I saw that Open Corse range is almost or equal to the Gp4000s tires but can you give your experience with these tirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quintonb Posted July 2, 2014 Share I have and still do use the Rubino's and Diamanté, they brilliant racing tires. I personally haven't used the Open Corsa range purely because of cost. But they used and have been used in the pro Pelton for many years. The Open Corsa range has huge history and respect in racing in Europe. I would seriously give it some consideration. I use Gatorskins for training, but only Vittoria on my race wheels. They fast and handle so well. I have never had any issues with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Have you considered Vittoria Diamanté or Open Corse CX range. Sorry just throwing a spanner in the works. +1Vittoria makes a really good tyre.I'd say Zafiro/Rubino for training and Open Corsa for racing.Diamante are nice too but appear to be really light/thin.Cost and availability make Vittoria less popular than some other tyres. I don't think there's much difference between the Conti 4000 and Force/Attack.Force/Attack of course comes with dedicated front (22mm)/rear (24mm). And how about Michelin Pro Race as a another option.? Like with most things cycling, I don't think there'll be too much difference between top end tyres.It probably comes down to price and availability ...

Zatek Posted July 3, 2014 Share I read that cyclist get about 800miles on a pair of Force Attack combo. which is good for a year to year of a half racing which is ok if there is really a advantage over the Gp4000 and open corsa tires and the combo cost less.

TALUS Posted July 3, 2014 Share Open Corsa was /is (?) on special in certain sizes at 60% discount at CRC. They are great on my deepsections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Flyers Posted July 3, 2014 Share Go for wider tyres.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 3, 2014 Share I train with Ultremo ZX 25c Highly recommended for clinchers Fast rubber, some toughness to minimize punctures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underachiever Posted July 3, 2014 Share Currently running a set of Ultremo ZX, purely because Evobikes had them on special. Can't fault them. Also ran Mitch Pro Race, again no hassles. Used the Force/Attack combo years back and could see no benefit in the wheel specific marketing claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TALUS Posted July 3, 2014 Share On my tubeless Rims I had Ultremo ZX. Liked them. Now running Bontrager because they make 25C in tubeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Go for wider tyres.... I'm a convert too, but I think most will take a lot of convincing before going wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 3, 2014 Share I'm a convert too, but I think most will take a lot of convincing before going wider. The handling is definitely better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
