Good to know. If only you get find a set of 30's or 32's around...in transparent in the US. Found some in black...but want to get the transparent versions.
Where'd you find a black 30? Everywhere I've seen is sold out.
Found some at R2 Bike

and at discount price.

After the 30€ for shipping to the US, and 2% paypal fee it's $110 for one. 2 would be a slightly more reasonable $184. I'd still rather try to find one from a US based seller.

I'll leave it up to you to figure out the other 30%. If you are in any way offended, that's on you.

My guess it will be spring before we see them in the US for less than MSRP. With them being a new tire and all the supply chain issues, demand will keep prices high for a few months at least. I've only got about 1,200 miles on my GP5000's and hope I can get a set at a discount for fast spring/summer riding.

I ordered 10 tires from site sponsor Starbike, and even without the 2.5% Weight Weenies discount (I guess I don't post enough), the total was $649.87 shipped, or just under $65/tire. I'm sure the price will continue to decline as supply catches up with demand, but this was low enough for me to pull the trigger on my first batch.

What is the weight of the 25mm tire coming in at? I'm waiting to try the transparent 25mm tire. Right now running Enve SES 25mm with excellent results in performance, puncture protection, and durability.

@Ryanw, are you running 25c on the Zipps? I know their rated as only safe for 28c according to Conti, but would be great to run 25.
I've got 28s on my 454s but have customers running 25c on 23mm ID.

Got 2 of them just the other day. Both 25mm weighed 250g on the nose.
