    If you don’t try the ZX
    If you don’t try the ZX you’ll never know how they compare. Plain black are slightly grippier than the colours.

    Oh, and no-one’s mentioned Pro4 Service Course yet… đŸ˜‰

    I personally think ZX’s look
    I personally think ZX’s look the business but have found they wear really quickly , plus prone to cuts and find they develop circumferential cracks. If you want a quick tire but don’t mind replacing them every 1000 miles or so then they are worth a punt.
    I’ve had gp4s on my commute bike for about 2000 miles, never had a puncture, cut or crack and they still look as though they have miles left in them!

    my view is if u want quick tire and want to colour code your bike but don’t mind replacing regularly then go for zx’s but if you are on a budget and want to fit and forget then go for conti’s

    Slightly faster, a bit less
    Slightly faster, a bit less grippy and not at all as durable as GP4000s.
