[QUOTE="Pterodactyl, post: 1218598, member: 76805"] The 4 and the 4GT have the same speed rating and load rating (as Fred mentioned), so it is perplexing trying to understand what real advantage the GTs offer. One could argure that the additional sidewall structure will make the tire heat slower and higher. It would seem, too, that the GT would weigh a bit more, although a cursory search did not revel the weight difference. Any increase in unsprung weight goes a long way. I'm not anti-GT, but as I said earlier, I am perplexed as to what the advantage is over the PR4. Right now the only deciding factors I can see are cost, longevity and road performance. Cost is easy, but comparing the other two qualities is not so easy. Owner anecdotal feedback is all to often unreliable, and I have yet to see a comparative test by a impartial body. [/QUOTE]
