From Amazon UK, $75.99 for 1 is a half decent bargain, but you can use code VFYSVAXJMRWJ to get 2 for $141.98 (equivalent to $70.99 a tyre), which is a good bargain over the usual $85+ prices for a single tyre elsewhere online.

EDIT : I just noticed when I loaded the deal in another browser, that the CODE for $10 off $100, that I used for this deal, is probably unique to the browser (or userid). So, the code will vary, just look for it under the price on the amazon page. (i.e. On the other browser, without logging in, it was HLJUZQXOTYCO instead).

NOTE : There is only the 25mm option, so anyone on newfangled wider rims running wider tyres is out of luck, sorry.

I've searched but I couldn't find anything else on amazon UK that is as cheap as this, in the Continental GP 5000 range.

So anyone on an older frame with wide tyre clearance issues, or still using older narrow rims, this will work well. ;)

  Darn, I wish the tanwall was the same price.

  How would this compare to a continental gatorskin? I am not a racing cyclist, mostly getting around town, but I do have a road bike and do enjoy the feeling of a smooth ride! (But I also hate punctures)

    Gatorskin's don't have the Vectran layer of puncture protection, instead they have a "PolyX Breaker".

    I used Gatorskins around 20 years ago for a little while (maybe they didn't have PolyX Breaker back then), and I got several punctures on them, and eventually replaced them before hitting canvas, as it just wasn't worth going through so many tubes, nevermind having to replace a tube while on a ride is a pita.

    I then rode Michelin's for a while, but didn't like wet weather performance, and since then ridden on GP4000's only, and rarely get a puncture, and when I do, I check the tyre after the puncture and notice that I'm starting to hit canvas, lol.

    The GP4000/5000's will probably wear faster than Gatorskins, but I think the Vectran layer more than makes up for it with less punctures.

    Gators have much better puncture resistance but are a bit slower overall. You'll still get punctures but less than GPs (I have ridden both).

    If you REALLY hate punctures and don't mind much heavier tyres get some Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres.

    The key for puncture resistance for the commuter/casual cyclist where minimum weight isn't a big issue is to go as wide as you can fit. The difference between the same tire at 25mm and say 32-45 is you can run lower pressure and the tire rolls over the top of things that would puncture a narrower tire. I used tor run schwalbe marathon supremes (which I think they've discontinued, unfortunately) and they were good at 28mm, a few punctures here and there, but when I switched to 42mm I went to getting zero punctures (sometimes) for the life of the tire. There's still no accounting for bad luck and d*ckhead tradies spilling self tapping screws out the back of their utes, but they really roll over those nasty glass shards. Of course if you can't fit the wider tires you're out of luck…

  Who buys 25c tyres these days? Unless maybe of course you're still using rim brakes

    Yep, I'm still on rim brakes. ;)

    I also don't race competitively at the moment, nor at a high level anymore, so really don't need to move to discs, and thus wider rims/tyres.

    Managed to squeeze 28's on my old bike, best decision, more comfort and grip

      Yeah when i had the rim brakes i started with 23c and then on 28c and it was my maximum too

      Now I'm on disc brakes i ride a 32c cause i like my comfortable rides over the cracked pavements on Melbourne bike paths 😅

        I've settled on 30's as the sweet spot, Im using the Pzero 4S Race TLR, very sticky in all weather and has extra tread. I may try the 32c next time

    Rim brake is still a thing, although I can fit 28s on my 2017 & 2019 Cannondales. My 2013 can hardly take 25s until I wore through the paint on the chainstays and got a bit more room.

  I've done 4000kms now on GP5000 28mm and no punctures

  The metal, plastics, on the roads thankfully are older / smoother where I have been walking / riding / driving.

  Beware any construction sites, on a side road of a current construction site. Found a 75mm roof screw. Woo that thing would go through a car - truck tyre.
  Loose dirt on the footpath, water, etc from the construction.
