Wondering if anyone has tried to install these and can comment on how difficult they are to install. SUPER gun shy after dealing with Conti GP 5000TL which are insanely hard to install. If anyone can report how they compare to the Contis would be much appreciated!

I think it can depend on the wheel. My conti GP 4000 and 5000 clinchers were hard to get on and conti comp tubs also hard. Corsa clinchers I could get on and off without tyre levers and same with Corsa tubs. So should be much easier.

Thanks… there were several reviews on competitivecyclist.com that indicated they were hard to install… but guess it may be all relative based on previous experience…

So true about the wheel being the common denominator;
I have 5000 s TRs on 3 wheels; Light bicycle wheel and Roval CL they pop right on. On my Aerocoach front wheel they are tough to get on, on my Roval 321 disc they are god damn mother effing piece of sheet chunk of f*ck to get on.
Very true… was asking in relation to Conti GP 5000. I would think that regardless of rim the Vittorias would be consistently harder or easier to get on than Contis… no?
i don’t have trouble installing those tires. hands only.

yes. almost all road tubeless tires coming out of molds cut since 2019 are pretty easy to mount. the tires that conform to ETRTO wheel spec from the 2019 manual are not problematic. now, fredly here on this forum believes that there are 2 molds that conti uses for its latest tires - and i think maybe it’s the 5000 TT to which he refers but i’m not sure. he says this because the very same tire on the very same wheel is either really easy or really hard to mount, and we see that experience related by folks here on the forum.
but in general the new road tires designed around the most recent ETRTO spec i don’t find an issue to mount. what i do find is that some tires don’t inflate well on certain wheels, and that’s either a wheel problem, or a user problem (i.e., i’m the problem). but just getting the tires on and off, i don’t face that problem with newer tubeless road tires and the most recent wheels.

Ok, that’s good news… sounds like they have mostly figured this out ðŸ‘ðŸ¾
thanks!
