Can this be used as a race tire? On my new bike it didn't seem to grip as well as pro race3. Many people say it grips well.

My bike isn't adjusted properly, yet and my cornering skills arent that great.

How does cornering grip compare to Vittoria CX, and other race tires?

Vittoria CX always grip better for me.

I never push it to the edge but I can't detect a difference between GP 4000's and Vittoria Corsa as far as cornering goes. I don't back off sooner with one compared to the other.
I've heard the GPs ain't so good on wet roads but have never had a problem myself. But again I don't push it to find the limit.

I've raced on GP4000 tires (although I'm not fast), and ride them regularly. I prefer them to the Michelin tires - although I've not bought a Michelin tire in the past 5 years. Everyone has different preferences. If you don't feel comfortable on the GP4000, it's not a good tire for you.

It's a feel thing. Whatever works best for you.

The GP4000's are great tires and handle very well IMO. Also they wear well too.

Ride whatever inspires confidence for you. You do not want your tires to be in your mind as you dive into a corner.
