Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Much cushier ride. Very supple ride. A little pricy, but excellent tires.

Tires are the best i have ridden for an over all tire. Was on schwalbe pro's before (tube), had a puncture on the rear tire and decided to swap to these.

The gp5000 tl are usually tricky to install. Super easy to seat the bead on bontrager paradigm rims with a 21mm internal width.

The grip is phenomenal and the speed is right up there with all the race tires. The tire wear is satisfactory for my use with the grip it offers. I'm a clydesdale on a madone.

Good on the straights. Good uphill. Good downhill. Good on wet roads.



Cons

They are problematic to keep inflated. Durability is also a concern. I put double sealant in, it stays better, but one dose (35ml) of sealant didn't help.

Price


Good value for the quality would buy again


I took a chance on these at $48 a piece.


Might have been a pricing error as they are now in the $70-80 plus range for 1 tire.

Shipping


They arrived when expected and i will mount them in the near future.


Item was delivered quickly and met all expectations.


Ordered from brands cycle late last week and were delivered today.

Packaging/appearance


I ordered the all-black version and received the golden-colored tire.

Competitiveness


In any case the performance and characteristics are so much better over any other tire out there it's worth the price.


Compared to a tubed tire such as the standard gp 5000, these are in a league of their own.


Supply chain nightmares forced me to try a few other brands/road racing slicks.


Vittoria riders are usually the loyalists so i don't have a comparison 2nd hand from the club.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So far i’ve put nearly 1000 miles on these tires i’ve had one puncture that did not seal right away and at least two that sealed so fast i didn’t even know anything happened


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I’ve ridden over glass branches metal chunks smacked into potholes by accident sharp stones and even carbon fiber shards from car accidents and rolled away with nothing more than the typical cuts in the tire you’d expect to see


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The tl could seat and maintain a seal without it but the s tr has a thinner bead that doesn’t hook as tightly as the tl


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    On a track they roll fast but the pressure does fade noticeably within 24 hours


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You should pump these up to your desired pressure before each rideroll


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its hard to say whether any of the topend tires are better or worse
