I am sure it has already been discussed at length, but this tread is fairly long, so here it is the question. I have been using the 5000 TR for 2 years, I like them. Fast, good cornering and grip, strong, relatively light.
I need to replace them, I bought a pair of the S TR as they don't make the TR anymore.
How is it? Real life feedback
PS: I am going from the 25mm TR to the 28mm S TR.

Do u mean from 5000 TL to 5000S TR?
Yes sorry! My bad.
The S-TR is slightly faster, lighter, and is supposed to have slightly stronger sidewalls, though they don't last as long, or have as much puncture protection on the tread.
Some people prefer the TL, some like the S-TR.

I think the TR is more accurately sized for tubeless rims. TL was notoriously impossible to get on many rims - Mavic in particular.parajba wrote:I am sure it has already been discussed at length, but this tread is fairly long, so here it is the question.

I really like my STR's. They are very supple, fast, and grippy. I did struggle to get them on my tubeless carbon wheels but they are slightly easier than the TL's. I threw a bit of a fit trying to get my TL's on, seems like they were excessively tighter than any other tire I have used. I will say that I can tell the STR's are not as durable and seem like they will puncture much easier than the TL's. When running them I make sure not to ride on sandy roads.
BRR has 28mm version of the TT on the voting list, hopefully it'll get enough votes and be tested.TobinHatesYou wrote:
Funnily enough , while the TT TdF has a US MSRP of $120, it often marked down to ~$70 because 25mm tires are falling out of favor.

The big news is that there's now a 28mm version.

Thanks, this was the main reason for not using the old 5k anymore.TobinHatesYou wrote:I got the “strings” on one S TR tire, so it can still happen. It’s never been a major concern of mine though. The S TR sidewalls are definitely more robust than the TL sidewalls.

GP5000 AS TR review is in at BRR.
Bit disappointing from my potential use case. Puncture resistance is significantly poorer than Pirelli & Challenge race tires, or even Schwalbe. RR a little worse than expected.
However as a fairly fast wet weather tire they're likely great, due to outstanding wet grip.
I don't ride in the wet and just wanted a more durable GP5000 S TR, which these aren't really. I'll be very curious to see how fast the Italian made Pirellis are and if they kept their puncture resistance.
