Wow... that was a lot of marketing hyperbole to say that they added an extra ply to stiffen the carcass.
Now, what is the downside of running the non-GT supposed to be?

Maybe better road feel 'cause it's not as squishy? I don't know. I rode around Sunday and like all new tires, they feel great....which buys you, what, exactly?
Oh, I don't know. You definitely fulfill the extra heavy weight requirement.That means I just paid $20 extra bucks for a T30 GT that I didn't need to spend. First time I've ever sprung for one but thought I'd give it a try. I guess it won't kill me, and I'll see if I like it. Hell, for all I know, I've been missing out.
You are welcome. At least someone can benefit from my stupidness. I usually check my tires every time we ride out in the morning. But I was the slowest dresser in the morning because I just got a new jacket and was always messing with the fit, my gloves and music for the ride. It seemed like I was always still getting dressed when the others in the group were sitting on their bike looking at me like "Let's go Dumbass". They were not rushing me at all, I am just slow!! (Insert joke here). I faithfully run 39.5 in the front and 41.5 in the back with my digital Slime gauge. Not sure the pressures are the cause for the good mileage, but more likely, that I do not ride hard. Especially once the bike is upright. I almost never gas it up in a straight line. Around town, and almost everywhere, I skip second gear and fourth when there is no reason to get after it. I believe that an engine and related parts only have so many RPMs in them----why use them up prematurely. Save them for when the fun stuff presents itself. I get enough straight line boring stuff here in Illinois. As always YMMV. Hope this helps.Cav47-
This is the type of anecdotal info I like. A story can add valuable context, so thank you.
Curious, what PSI were you running front and rear on your journey for these PR4GT's?
Thanks!
I just put the same tire on the 'Bird (T30 GT). Since it'll be my first experience on this bike, I won't know how they compare to others.That means I just paid $20 extra bucks for a T30 GT that I didn't need to spend.
