P 4S feels soft and grippy to the touch as all faster tires do. Mounts easier than most new tires and rolls very quiet and smooth. Does stop well on wet pavement. May be best option for training and fast group rides . The 28mm is on the small side of 28s. It is only 68mm laying flat and appears 1.5mm smaller than a GP5000 x 28mm mounted on a HED rim. I find this smaller 28mm a sweet spot for a smooth fast tire.
