25mm continental gp 4000s II
I need some new rubber and am trying to find 25mm contis with no luck, does anyone have any ideas. I have seen them for £40 - £45, which is too much, but not at the £30 mark.
Also looking at the vittoria open corsa cx, or the schwalbe one v guard. What is the best tire?
I'm replacing 23mm versions of the conti's and have been very happy with them (never punctured, which I've just now jinxed :/)

SBS in Australia. They have the Tour, Vuelta, Giro, and a bunch of other races - all free and live. I think they do catch-up as well

25mm for 33 euros plus shipping (10 euros?)
25s are back in stock at Wiggle. I've just ordered the twin set. The 28s were too wide on my semi-rims to fit under my mudguards.
No offence intended, it wasn't specifically aimed at you . Apparently they were out of stock yesterday at Ribble but they aren't now so I am a little confused as to why you paid a few quid more to get them from Sigma ?
Thanks guys, got some from sigma in the end
Was really tepmted to go for the vittoria's to try something new and they sound great but reliability won out in the end.
...and what's eating you Antony.C "How hard have you looked?" !!!
Massive sale there at Ribble, even the comments are sold out
The Schwalbe one's at 25mm appear very reliable to me, great grip and very durable in harsh conditions since a year and a half now.
Vittoria Open Corsa ride beautifully, but cut easily and wear quickly. I now use the (tubular) Corsa on my race wheels, and (clincher) Conti GP4000S on all other wheels. 25mm as standard for sure. Can't go wrong.
How hard have you looked ? Ribble have them for £31.95
Sorry mate but on the day of writing the comment was out of stock.
Sigma Sport £35 each.
Try Tweeks, showing as in stock and about £35 each
Just been looking behind the scenes on Spokely and you're right, looks like a worldwide
shortage on 25mms and the retailers know it - Merlin would be good but they are showing up as out of stock. Its going to be 28s or biting the bullet and paying out £45 for one at Chain Reaction or getting the pair for £85 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/continental-grand-prix-4000s-ii-road-...
Why not go for the 28? They roll faster and are comfier.
25mm out of stock almost everywhere...
Merlin, 2 for £60 inc inner tubes.
