[QUOTE="AdamK, post: 1423909, member: 29576"] The Road 5 GTs are suppose to be in distribution now although I haven't seen them on any sites selling the GT tires yet?? I've tried most of the popular brands of tires at this point except the Road Smarts. I've come to the conclusion that moving from one brand to another doesn't really help my tire life, or at least I'm not running in enough of a controlled condition to tell. For me it appears to do with how I ride and under what conditions. Most of my riding these days is loaded for a week or longer trip on "fun" roads. Not a lot of slabbing and zero commuting in the last couple of years. On my last trip I started with a brand new set of Bridgestone T31s. The rear tire last 9 days, 3,800 miles before I was on cords. At the same time I read messages here about people running the same tires and getting 8 to 12k on them?? When I used to commute on my bike I could get 6k'ish on a set but those days appear to be behind me.... [/QUOTE]
