Pros & Cons
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.

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

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
