One of the first things that drawed me towards buying a pair of these tyres was the range of colours available, this meant I was able to choose a pair which matched the colour of my bike and kit, and after all, my old plain black tyres were looking abit boring.
These tyres grip the road well in wet weather so you feel more reassured; they perform just as well on dry roads also. I had previously used Vittoria tyres and one of the first things I noticed about the GP 3000's was that the ride felt so much smoother and comfortable.
These aren't the cheapest tyres on the market but if you shop around your sure to find a bargain somewhere. They are retailed at £25 but i found some for £17.99 each, however you get the quality that you pay for. I've also found that at the beginning they can sometimes be hard to remove and fit onto rims.
One of the most important things though is the puncture resistance and with experience I've found that these tyres are very puncture effective. I'd definitely recommend these tyres to anyone that asked, they're the best I've used so far!

I was certainly very pleased with my GP3000's - although the rubber did seem to suffer a bit from cracking - so much so I've just bouight some GP4000's to replace them...
