    Great info I have been using this tire on all my bikes for several years now, But I totally disagree with you that Continental uses that tread as a marketing gimmick it does prevent skidding on wet roads and thin ice!

      Thank you for your opinion, we will have to agree to disagree on the tread though

      @@TheDecathlonMan The tread is for tyre deflection which affects grip on tarmac when turning. Like knobbly tread on the outside of MTB tyres for use in mud. It's why with a turbo trainer you use slicks as there is no turning.

      No you're 100% wrong. Tread does not prevent skidding on wet roads, that's not what it's for. The purpose of tread on a road tyre is to prevent aquaplaning. Aquaplaning for a bicycle tyre is impossible. Why you think it would do anything more than SFA on ice I'm not sure......🤔

      Sounds like you need a visit to the tyre factory..a nice video idea. Water displacement is more than preventing aquaplaning, grip is more than just surface area... otherwise gearboxes wouldn't have teeth

      Would be happy to go with funding, gearboxes are different altogether as the teeth are made of metal

    First its puncture resistant not puncture proof, second putting tread patterns is not just about aquaplaning, though as you say designs are mainly marketing. However different grip patrerns respond to different surfaces and conditions (otherwise we'd all be on MTB slicks) and while on smooth tarmac with no debris its pretty redundant it can bite a little on dodgier surfaces

    • @TheDecathlonMan
      @TheDecathlonMan  Год назад +1

      Thanks for your input, much appreciated. You are correct, no tyre is puncture proof unless they are solid. While tread on a grave/lugged/knobbly tyre may bite in mud, due to depth of the lugs a road tyres grip is more about the width, compound of the tread and tyre pressure. The .5-1mm ‘tread’ depth found on the GP4 Season will not make a blind bit of difference to grip, but the compound will. Still avoid painted lines and drain covers though!

    3:37 GP4Seasons don't use Black chili, they actually use a different compound called "Max Grip Silica" which I couldn't find any information about online, but I do have these tyres, really solid so far honestly

      You are correct, GP 4000s had black chilli. Either way the GP 4 seasons are a great tyre.

    If the tread is for marketing then why is it so important to mount in the tread direction?

    • @TheDecathlonMan
      @TheDecathlonMan  Год назад

      It is not important on this road tyre, it would be on an off road tyre for dispersal of mud.

      Thanks for the question. They don’t come tubeless, clincher only at the moment. That is not to say they will not eventually.

    • @TheDecathlonMan

      We now sell Goodyear Eagle tyres which are tubeless, so may be a good alternative.
