That chart really isn't a fair comparison. The service course tire was not designed to compete with the conti for racing. The tire for racing you would want is the comp service tire.

I've used both and found the conti's, faster and smoother. But I was using them with latex tubes as well. The conti's will last a lot longer as well. A lot. Did I mention the pro4s wear down faster.
