Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to seat the bead on bontrager paradigm rims with a 21mm internal width. The rims are tubeless ready, so i had to remove the plastic rim strip and install proper rim tape.
These are some durable tires. Keep the sealant fresh. Add a little every 2 months during the year. Good puncture resistance, and low rolling resistance.
Feel fast and confident cornering/descending. Great traction, very grippy. They have phenomenal grip and are very lightweight.
They ride great. Much cushier ride. Very supple ride. The ride is sublime.
Cons

Competitiveness
Compared to a tubed tire such as the standard gp 5000, these are in a league of their own.
In any case the performance and characteristics are so much better over any other tire out there it's worth the price.
I began to beat many my strava pr's by just a little.

Also the 25 ml tires size i put on inflated narrower than the swalbe pro one or the old conti 5000 gp tires at 25 ml

These tires have only 2 layers of rubber so are lighter but may not have optimal puncture protection
