I've been searching the internet and forum and found some good links on comparison on the question below but hoping to get a bit of 'specific' information for experience on the big island.
What set of tires should I bring to Kona? I'll be using PD 78/24's (front and back) and latex tubes.
set of GP 4000s @ 23mm
set of GP 4000s II @ 25mm
GP Attack @ 23mm/ Force @ 25mm
I'm leaning towards the 4000s II as the internets seem to indicate those have a lower rolling resistance but with all of these we seem to be splitting hairs so maybe it just doesn't matter. Can certainly mix and match if it makes the most sense.
No comment on the wheel choice, thats what I'm rolling with. All sets are in good shape and have about the same usage (+/- 300 race only miles).
Advise appreciated. Thank you!
