Anyone know the size of the front Turbo S Works designed specifically for the front wheel??
My rear says 700X24… but the front tire says Turbo S Works Front…width 24mm on Roval CLX 64.
I think it’s 700X22… but not 100% sure.
Per their site,
FRONT TIRE
S-Works Turbo, 120TPI, folding bead, BlackBelt protection, 700x22mm

Thanks!!
Specialized is having a 2 for 1 on certain tires…
I just bought 1 700x22 (not 2 for 1) and 2 700x24 (2 for 1) for 110.00 plus tax, free shipping.
Check out their site…
That’s a great deal! What’s your experience been with those tires?

Not too many miles on them yet… but so far so good.
Theoretically they are optimized to work best with the CLX64’s… so when I saw the deal, I figured what the hell.
I stocked up last year. I’m a huge fan of them. They are a little more susceptible to cuts than GP4000s, but I have had great luck with flats, they are easy to install, and I am a big fan of the tread compound.
Currently running 24 front/ 26 rear. Based on Tom A’s testing, it seems like the 24 offers a good balance of aero and Crr.
Just ennuciating what has already been said. Run a 24 up front for the best combined aero & rolling resistance gains. A 22 will gain you aero, but you lose out overall because it is a slower rolling tire.
I can’t justify the turbo cottons yet, but that would be the ultimate combo…if only my vanity would let me get over the gumwalls on an otherwise black bike! For more info check out http://bikeblather.blogspot.com/2016/03/win-tunnel-playtime-part-3-after-party.html Tom A., as always, has some outstanding work/insights on tires.
p.s. I should have credited the hard and outstanding work of Tom A. in the original post.
Thanks!!
I just called them and changed my order to all 700X24’s!! Thanks for the info…
I got 4 tires for 110 plus tax shipped 
Thanks again…

What wheels are you running??
I wonder if you can mask and spray Plastidip over the gumwall… I’d get them for sure if they were black too.
I was running some older Enve 45 clinchers (narrow) and now have them on DA 9000 C24s. My race wheels are tubulars 
That seems like time better spent training. For now I’m happy with a $50 tire that works really well and I’ve had pretty good luck with puncture wise (knocking on wood as I type this)
Anyone know how the width of the 24 Turbos matches a 23 GP4000S-II? The Contis seem to plump up more than a normal tyre.
