what are these like, the front is 22mm, never had any as narrow as this before, does it make any difference to handling?

And how do they compare to conti Grand prix 4000s

will be going on the 'good' road bike, not the winter hack!

My SO likes them - she is, how shall I put it, quite good descending on the road. She found them very suited to riding in both the Pyrenees and the Alps at high speed off little hills like the Galibier, Glandon, Peyresaude and Mente.

Got them on my "best bike".

Not had any problems at all. Fast, grippy, would buy again.

Been using them since they first came out, excellent tyres.

No complaints with mine. Not prone to punctures either despite the light weight.

Admittedly I ended up with a 1" slash in the rear tyre on the first ride when I had a pair. Returned to Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp Quattro - 4500 miles later need to replace them as they've worn about enough for comfort.
