NEW Tires- Pro Race 2 or Service Course?

[mseanschmidt]

Any feedback on the Service Course tires or should I just go with the Pro Race 2's?

I was about to create a new thread on Pro Race 2s vs Contis GP4000s....I'll wait and see what comes up here..

here are a couple of rolling resistance tests

can't go wrong with the Michelins, in my opinion

Currently using GP4000. Durable and grippy but harsh ride. I suggest inflate 5psi lower than your usual.

However, will soon try vredestein fortezza, schwalbe ultremos, or veloflex black as a friend says they're the closest clinchers to ride like tubulars.

compared to the GP4000's which I also found too harsh, the Pro2 race "limited edition" is an extremely supple tire, it has better performance than the normal Pro2 race tire, the tread is much thinner which has created the weight reduction to 200g. I'd say the grip is much higher, in the rain it grips as well as in the dry.
Rolling resistance feels much lower but this might might be due to the supple casing and the lower pressures I'm running. Using Latex tubes make them even better.
