I picked up a pair of the new GP4000's back at the beginning of March, and have been using them regularly since (including training camp down south, tuesday night races, and usually 1 or 2 other times per week). First of all, I'll say that I'm really impressed by the tread wear so far. Seems to be lasting MUCH longer than the previous generation GP3000's. Maybe it's the new "vectran". However, I've noticed that the short protective thread weave on the outside of the tire, which is just above the bead (at the rim) and only about 3-4mm high, is starting to separate from the rubber. Doesn't look like anything to worry about yet, but it is obvious, and I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem?
