The tires are really good, but quite expensive. I wished I had configured it to be run-flat, however, rather than using tubes. I've gotten pinch flat and my wheel was a big hassle to change the tube (punctured it at the site) that I had to call my wife to take me home. I punctured a tube again at home trying to replace it so I decided to take it to REI for a new tube and liner, and they even struggle to put back the tire. It's my wheel, not the tire, however.
Wanted to "step up" to Conti Gatorskins to a more versatile road tire. The Grand Prix deliver on road feel and grip. That's the good news. First install is a real challenge. If you are a home mechanic, patience and good tire install technique will win the day - but my goodness, each of these tires fought me tooth and nail on the initial install. Solid tire, wonder rolling characteristics and grip, absolute challenge to install.
Would I purchase these again? Yes, I would. They just ride and grip that nice.
I have been riding these for a year. I ride tubeless and have not had any issues with the flats or cuts. These are comfortable and last me about a year (3k miles). I have older carbon rims that are very difficult to break the bead from the rim in the field, so I can't ride recreationally with thinner tires because if there was a cut, I would be calling an uber.I can mount and remove at home using hand tools and an air canister, They are no more difficult to mount than the Maxxis tires I was using before. I have lost strength in my hands, and have found that I can reliably break the bead with 3 plastic woodworking clamps that have one foot handles, I put these about 4 inches apart, and by torquing all 3 at once, I can get the bead to move into the center channel in that spot, then use normal methods. I need a plastic bead jack to mount, and an air canister to get the bead seated.
