I've been running them on road and TT bike for several months, tubeless for both. to date, no punctures. maybe about 1000 miles so far. my road surfaces are pretty good but some glass and brambles now and again. previously, was running Schwalbe pro 1s and had several small punctures that all sealed up ok. so the 5K seem more resistant but small sample size. YMMV.

I don't want to jinx it, but... very happy with my switch to 5000TL from Pro One Tubeless (V1.0), at least until data are released re: the Pro One TLE.

So far so good. Gone through broken glass, potholes, etc. No flats. Only a few thousand miles though.

If they truly improved on the GP4000sii I'd be impressed. I've been running those for years without a puncture. I probably just jinxed it though.

Yeah. I’ve had good luck with the gp4000s ii. I’m just eeking our my marginal gains. :) latex tubes. New tires (maybe) etc.

Moved over from 4000s which have been really good to me so i was hesitant as well. Probs 1000 miles on them in all weather and good Irish roads.

excellent. I’ll probably give them a go as I’ve got a month to my race so I’ll see how they do. It’ll give me some confidence if there are no issues

BRR rates the 5000 one point less out of 12: https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/...grand-prix-5000-2018

This is a small sample size, so not high confidence.

Continental claims the 5000 is better. They certainly have access to a huge body of data and sure, may be outright lying.

Cmon, they are almost certainly functionally identical.

Same here - zero flats so far, but I'm curious based on the mileage if you're talking about the 5000TL? (I know you like tubeless.) On the regular GP5000, the biggest thing I have to report is very low wear life. I can't get more than 1500 miles (rear) before so much casing is showing that it's clearly unsafe. Don't think I've ever run a regular road racing tire that wore so fast.

I have less experience with the TLs as I have them mounted on a set of race wheels that I only use in races with rough roads and/or gravel.

I've got just under 1,800 miles on mine (clincher, non-tubeless) without any issues or signs of significant wear.

I've only got about 700 miles on my 25mm 5000TL tires. Zero punctures and zero apparent wear. I have inadvertently ridden though broken glass a couple times without issues.

Running them on my TT bike (butyl tube 😂) and road bike tubeless. So far this year done about 1000 miles racing TT and 5000miles road bike. Zero punctures.

Last year used conti TT and gp4000. 2 punctures TT bike and 4 on road bike.

Not exactly a blind test but good enough for me. The tyres also feel softer, especially the change from TT to 5000 on the race rig.

Shouldn't you be on Gatorskins?

Shouldn't you be at home watching Sesame Street ?

Yeah, TL. Some signs of wear, but still plenty of life.

My rear GP5000 after 1700 miles. Needless to say, I won't ride one this far again.

Have been running GP5000 TL since April and tires look really solid, think no wear at all is shown, seems those could last for a very long time. Punctures are definitely not a concern I have with these ones. Also those are very fast ones according to BRR.

The only cons I can think of are that those are very hard to install in some wheels and also weight.
Both of those items are supposed to be a big improvement in the new Schwalbe pro one TT, but we don't know yet if it will be with the trade-off of having less puncture protection than the 5000TL.
Have seen several comments of people not having good luck in regards to punctures with the schwalbe pro ones current version.

That's no bueno. Thankfully mine still look very good.

have you been using them on the trainer? :)

Serious Q - has that been used on a turbo quite a lot?

Not once. That's 100% normal outdoor riding on pretty run of the mill standard roads.

Edit: and I may as well add that I'm 180lbs so that seems pretty normal too.

That almost looks like dry-rot and given how “fresh” the non-cracked parts of your tread are I’m inclined to believe your tire wasn’t vulcanized properly / you got a bad tire.

Approx 3000mi on 28mm tubeless with zero punctures. At this point they were worn down to the two indicator holes.

Anecdotally I would have 1-3 punctures on non-TL 28mm GP 4000sII over the same distance.

You clearly got a bad tire...

PS : you also mounted it backwards
