Continental grand sport tyre

[Jason.T]

I'm doing a sportif next Sunday and continental are there offering their new grand sport tyres for free if you trade in your existing tyres

I have continental ultra sports on now that have done 1300 miles

Any one know if the grand sport is a better tyre than the ultra sport and is it worth swapping them for free?

Have you got a link for the trade-in details?

No idea if they are "better"

A quick google search indicates the Grand Sport may be a replacement for the Ultra Sport. So a new tyre for free.

Although google search also reveals that this thread is the only match for free trade-in...
