Grand Prix 5000 S TR Tire

The only tires I use

Best weekend warrior tires. A lot of grip and really does resist a lot of puncture.

Real fast, tough as a latex balloon

I really wanted these tires to become my go-to tires but after running through two sets, I'm done. They roll great and they're light but I've experienced 3 punctures that didn't seal on their own and leaked even after repairing from the inside with multiple methods. I ride mostly roads and bike paths and go out of my way to dodge glass and road debris. After they no longer hold air set up tubeless they basically become a really expensive tubed tire that no longer has the rolling resistance or weight benefits you pay for. No thanks.

Great fast workout joy ride tires

After trying many other tires over the years these are my favs for my weekly trail workouts...typically I can keep these at a average of 17mph average speeds on a semi rough paved trail in Sacramento CA area on 2020 trek domane slr7 etap for around 20 miles with a good amount of effort...others I have tried are great tires but these seem to be the best balance of weight, comfort(32cm at sram calc psi tubless muc off... sealant 190 rider), and reliablity...you can probably find something a little faster but it will probably be a race day tire that will sacrafice relialbility etc...for years I road gatorskin hardshells to ride to work and they seem to be really tough but you will sacrafice weight, harshness, and resistance for probably about the ultimate durability

I have struggled with mounting and dismounting TR tires for years. These are a dream to work with!

FLAT

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Saw other reviews about flats but refused to believe it because the TLs were so good. I have never had so many punctures in my life. It honestly seems like every week at least once, my bike is covered in sealant after a ride. It’s unreal. I haven’t even made it through one season. Would not recommend at all.

Run very small, size up!

I haven't bought road tires in almost 2 years I will preface so end of G4000 and last gen schwalbe era. But, I refreshed my caad10 again recently. I spent extra money on tires cause they make a world of difference on an Aluminum frame. All for not. I got a 25cc because balloned out on 21mm IW tubless they would equal a 28cc on an old school 19 ID rim. WRONG! These on the same wheel are smaller than a 23cc Schwalbe or 23cc Vittoria Corsa. These run incredibly small. Go at least 1 size higher, 2 if you have a little bit of room to spare. If not don't waste your money listening to the other reviews.

Not so good tires

I purchased these tubeless tires a couple of months ago, I used them only for competition, these are the best tubeless tires for Racing…but this week I used for training 75 miles per ride, I’m very disappointed because I have a flat due to a big side tear. These tires are not good on the side section.
