Another generation would be a PITA,... Unless they are faster and/or narrower. So is this a new tire for this year? I haven't actually seen a GP TT yet, so my interpretation of the Gen 3 and 4 could be confused.
Ya I am in Northern Colorado. The land of beer and bongs.
i was told it was a branding issue for north american customers... nobody knew how to install or use the SS so when one of us orders an SS from a US IP, we get a rebadged TT. Not sure if that's still the case.
they are NOT narrow... 23mm "SS" (ie. GPTT) is wider than my Zipp 808 Firecrest brake tracks... barely OK on my NSW wheel.
Best tire for still remains the SS, which is OK on Firecrest and perfect on NSW.
FWIW, Corsa Speed TLR look pretty narrow on my NSWs... coming in at the listed 23mm.
Finally, I would love to see some aero testing on the Corsa Speeds... I"m sure the SS is faster when you include Crr and CdA.
