Which tyres

[Michelin]

I have a set of Continental GP 5000's in 28mm and also a set of Continental Grand Prix 4 Season in 25mm. Which tyres do you think would be best for winter riding

 

[vickster]

Try both and see which you prefer?
Although the 4 seasons should grip better and resist punctures better. The 3mm won’t make a difference

4 Seasons for the winter, 5000's for summer. Or at least that's what we use here.

I have exactly the same choice (ie a pair of both these tyre models) and the next tyre replacement will be a GP4S till after Easter. It's a real pain to mend a puncture when it's cold (and maybe wet) and a GP4S is more robust. The 5000 offers significant rolling resistance advantage for long summer rides.
But may I add some data in here. GP4Ss come up narrow, ime. The 5000 comes up on spec (for my rims and pressure).

Put the Marathons on

It's as much a taste thing as anything else, and also depends on things such as your weight and favoured tyre pressures. Try them and see what works for you.

Maybe you should change your forum name, or find a pair of Pro4 Endurance.

I've had schwalbe one v guard on a bike for a couple of years,bought another set as was more than happy with them.

Cheers guys I love the 5000's but don't want to wreck them so I've put the 4 seasons on for now and some mudguards

For general use I like the Vittoria Randonneur, I'm currently running the 700x35c Trekking on my winter bike. They're slow rolling, so good for my slow rides around the muddy Cheshire country lanes.
