I've ridden many other tire brands but none of them provided me with the confidence like Continental. The tires handled dry/wet pavement conditions with no problem. The rolling resistance was very noticeable and offered a comfortable ride. Truly the best tires on the market.
California's Central Valley might be flat but the adjacent Sierra Mountains are not. Riding from home I get a great mix of flat terrain and climbs of up to 14% - 16% and even 19%.
The GP 5000S TR has very low rolling resistance, excellent durability and climbs, descends and corners better than any tire I have ridden.
I highly recommend this tire.
Much easier to mount than my previous GP5k TL tires. Still far from the easiest, but not nearly as many cuss words, beer and planetary alignment required to get these things on. Fast as always, pretty resistant to punctures and a nice ride. Conti continues to impress me.
I had great experience using Contintental's GP line of clincher tires and this tire in tubeless configure delivers on that promise. These were easy to seat on the initial install. These tires perform just as well as the Vittoria Corsa TLRs that preceded them and they seem to be a bit more durable as well. Even on sale, they are pricey, hence only 4 stars on value.
Came back to these after a year on a cheaper set from a different brand. I was immediately reminded how much tire choice impacts the quality of your ride. These are excellent. Expensive, but no more so than other premium tires.
Bought two sets of 32s and have set these up tubeless on two of our bikes (Canyon Endurace with DT Swiss wheels and Trek Domane with Bontrager Aeolus wheels). I was able to mount them by hand on both sets of wheels but it does take some effort. They certainly feel faster than stock tires and are grippy in dry and wet conditions. Fast, smooth, and comfortable.
After about 1500 miles the rear has plenty of cuts and a decent amount of wear, more than half way to the garbage can. The front still looks pretty good. Got a few flats on the rear in the last couple hundred miles.
Very good tire. Never had a problem. They last a long time. The one down side is, they are tubeless tires and are hard to get on.
These tires are my favorites. Long lasting great rolling resistance and good grip on the road.

This tire was easy to install and back on the road fast. Love it so far, no problems and comfortably riding.
Smooth ride, durable, sticky. Ride as tubeless and while they require some skill to mount, they stay on. Hit a hole hard enough to bend an aluminum rim without deflating or unmounting.
I've tried many tires, most are good. These are just good in all the areas. Rolling resistance, durability and grip. I have 100% confidence when leaning into a corner, whether dry or wet.
good and fast tires
These tires have a low rolling resistance and are tough
Durable and light . Easy to mount on tubeless rims. Bead seals firmly to rim. I use these tires training and racing with good results.
My first go around with these tires and I absolutely love them. Fast, smooth, confidence inspiring, and the tan sidewalls look great on my 22 Roubaix Comp. The only negative is that I've only put only 1700 miles on them and the TWI is almost indistinguishable. Gonna switch to the "all season" version of these tires in hopes that they last me over 1 season.
Very good combination of ride quality and durability.
I cycle for fitness and like the fast rolling of these tires, although they flat a wee bit more than the Pirelli P-Zero
Comfortable, good grip, and feels fast. Great so far. I need more miles to test their puncture protection and durability.
The 30mm were easy to setup on Zipp 303s with a regular floor pump.
