I’ve used GP5000 clinchers and GP5000 STR tubeless on my 3 bikes. I have had 2 punctures in 4 years and 20, 000km of riding. It’s safe to say I won’t be moving away from GPs they are brilliant tyres and well worth the money. Fast, grippy, robust and bulletproof. What’s not to like.

[Wandulus]

Conti 5000 TT TR for races, Conti Ultra Sport III for everyday training.
Lots of grip, really low Crr and an increible price. I use them for a full road season (about 8K Km). For about €30 a pair, you can’t get any better.

[SovereignStorm]

Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR 32mm wide. Comfortable and fast enough for me. Had one puncture that I noticed so far and the sealant took care of that real quick. Just rode 300km gravel on them last week because the shifter on my gravel bike broke the day before the trip and I had to take the road bike instead. Not one problem aside from the sketchy traction 😂

[twowheels]

Vittoria Rubino for me, and when they wear out, I will get more. Great for everyday performance riding, but probably not a race tire. Nice ride quality, light, acceleration feels great, and near zero flats.

[jef]

Michelin Power Cup TLR 28mms are the way to go.

[bloopasonic]

If you think the Pirelli's got a long name... I'm enjoying my "Hutchinson Fusion 5 Galactik Storm II Infernal Compound Tubeless Ready" tires 😂

[awhite]

I switched from Gatorskins to the Hutchinson challengers about a year and a half ago. So much nicer to ride on (much grippier and feel faster). They really are not wearing down quickly either. Such good value.

[SJPMs]

I run schwalbe pro one tle on my road bike. Last about 2-3k miles and are pretty fast and seem to cope with the crappy roads round our way.
I also run Vittoria n.ext tlr's on my winter bike and find them to roll nearly as fast as the Pro One's.
So far I'm happy with my choices.

[dagostino]

S-Works Turbo 2Bliss Ready T2/T5 30 for a perfect balance between wet rolling grip and protection.

[jonatkinson]

I ride Conti 5000s for the summer, then Hutchinson Challengers in the winter. The Conti's are very fast and grippy enough to not worry about it in summer temps. Had a few punctures in the past, but they're fairly rare. The Challengers I find sometimes quite slow, unless (strangely) its raining when they can be seriously rapid. They feel absolutely bombproof, ridiculously grippy, give you so much confidence on a winter ride, zero punctures (yet) and allow you to really appreciate the return of your speed when putting the Conti's back on mid-spring. In summary, the Conti's do everything you need for summer without thinking about the tyres at all; the Challengers just feel noticeably great and confident to the extent that you end up marvelling how good they feel on every winter ride.

[thomaseser]

I ride road bikes for 35 years now.
And from Ultra Sport 19 mm over Continental Sprinter to 28 mm GP 5000 Continental was any time the best choice.
Any other choice did not stand the Competition.
And I tried a lot.
With Continental you can't go wrong.
Money always spent well.

3000 miles into pirelli p zero tlr and I love them. 0 punctures, great grip, gone over some bad potholes and glass where guys on gp5000s punctured and I road on

[ThePaulbself]

How about the Conit 5k AS? I have been riding the 5kS and switched to the AS. Very happy with the ride and durability. A great training tire.

[Larsschmidt]

I had the Schwalbe Pro (25) set up tubeless and recently changed to GP5000 (28) with TPU tubes. What a difference. Its like the brakes are not draggy anymore. Much better grip as well, and importantly, much easier to mount and dismount. Why on earth did I ever stick with the Schwables?

[pj]

Conti are the best tyres. Worth spending the extra. Mine are on their second season coming up 10k miles and still loads of life. Maybe because I’m lighter rider 63kg but unbelievable performance and still as grippy as day 1.

[csarcpab]

The Michelin Power Cup Competition both clincher and TLR are a bit faster than the GP5000s at a fraction of the price. I've been riding them on the classic wall look (cream wall on the Contis) and they look amazing and have given me the same and better performance as the Contis. Pirellis have been improving but they're charging too much for just the brand.

[secretagent]

I ride gp5000 25 mm. Yes i find the grip excellent including in heavy rain

[kivriel]

If one make a trade-off between rolling resistance and puncture protection the Pirelli Cinturato Velo comes out as the best tire. I have been on it for 3 years and 3 bikes and have yet to puncture.

[androiduro]

7:32 Price/lightness ratio: Vittoria Corsa Next. Price/low rolling resistance ratio: Michelin Power Cup Line Competition. My favourites so far, but more expensive: GP5000. Tested with TPU and Latex chambers

[DannerPlace]

Appreciate your good review. Not an expert, but the GravelKing slicks have been excellent in both 700-38C and 700-30C. This is fro asphalt(mostly) and gravel. The 30C's are fast, but I like the 38C better for comfort/grip and looks (tan sidewall). Cheers...
