Great all around tires for tubeless. Super comfortable with great grip and extra puncture resistance, yet good road feel.
I ordered these tires a few times. All around the best tires I have ever owned. They last a long time, and I have not had a flat with them yet. They grip well throughout their life span. They can be hard to put on my rims, but it's the nature of the beast for me.
I have installed many TLR tires before, but this was my first time trying GP5000. It was indeed nicely built. The only problem I have is, it is slightly not true. Not sure what's going on. My wheels are true. I tried to remove it and then re-install it, but it didn't solve the issue. It feels 'bumpy' at the same location. I don't think it is my skill. Might be a QC issue.
Was able to get 28mm on without much struggle then easily use regular hand pump with small amount of stans, hooked SLR giant wheels. Handles great on steep descent. Had been happy with the durability of Maxxis, these appear at least as durable.
I put these on my road bike that is tubeless ready. Great tires. Long lasting with grip. I will sometimes ride lite gravel and dirt on them.
Perform well, mount easy & roll without effort.
Great rear tire, a little more puncture resistance versus the S TR. Get it on sale.
These tires were easy to set up on my wheels. They feel very nice on the road- smooth rolling, grippy in corners, and do well in the wet. I have only ridden them for about 800 miles, but I have been impressed with the durability. I live in the Los Angeles area, so we have a lot of glass and debris on the road. These tires have resisted getting cuts much better than all the tires I've used in the past. I have not had any flats.
At 1200 miles the rear 32c tire developed a slow leak. A month later it stopped holding air. Wear dots were down to nothing, I'm a heavier rider but that seemed a little early as I usually get 1600-2000 miles on the tube GP5000, the earlier 5000 TL, S-Works RapidAir, and Vittoria N.EXT. Disappointed it wore down so soon. Road feel ok, the 32c smooths out rough pavement at 58-64psi. The 28c is a rough ride.
Long time GP tire consumer. Order a set of these for spring training. Have about 500 plus miles on them so far with no flats. They have performed very well even with all the crud left from winter on the roads.
These a great tires to be used while doing training out on the roads and also for road races where the surface can be a bit rough. So far no issues at all. Also they installed very well and sealed up with a regular bike pump. Love that.
Low rolling resistance that I could feel
with excellent confidence inspiring grip and durability. So far I've had about 200 miles on these. No cuts or punctures (knock on wood)
Easy to install. Grips the road well and smooths out the rough spots.
Durable, grippy, robust, comfortable.
No flats that needed repairing with 3000km.
Great tire! Easy to put on, pump up tubeless and rides great too!
I use this tire for foul weather and training...it is a little heavier than my GP S TR that I use for summertime and fast peloton, but feels quite similar.
Love the comfiness and durability for the offseason.
For this winter, I swapped in GP 5000 AS TR (32mm) for the regular GP 5000 (28mm), using butyl tubes. Grippy in the wet, over firm gravel and small rocks, dropping 5+ PSI. Slightly heavier and a tight fit on HED Ardennes RA so I used levers to install. Fast enough to set PRs. Get the black for the reflective sidewall!
Not the lightest TR tire out there but robust enough for the daily grind in Urban areas. The performance has been such that I can safely rely on these tires in conditions that would shred my previous Coni GP5000TRs. They are as expensive as my Car tires'
Love these tires. Just wish they made them in 30mm.
