I've decided on a new tire.

Based on a past threat of mine, and bikeradars recent lab testing as well as countless reviews, the Michelin power competition are for me. However, I want them cheap.

The least expensive I've seen them was at Merlin for $42 (£35). Has anyone been able to beat that anywhere?

    Radial cycles have them for £30, they used to offer a fiver off on purchases over £50 when you signed up to their newsletter,i got a pair of gp4000's for less than £50 delivered latish last year..i can't find the fiver off page now though, so they may have stopped the offer.

    Tell the stars I'm coming,
    make them leave a space for me;
    whether bones, or dust,
    or ashes once among them I'll be free

    Has anyone got any experience with these? I'm tempted to replace my worn GP4000S with them.....

    They're a full-on race, fair weather tyre.

    I have them on my S5 and they're rather scary on damp / wet roads.

    Very light and very fast, had one puncture in 500km.

    Good tyres, they do cut up a bit easier than the previous Pro4 IME but I will also be putting them onm my commute when the weather gets better
