Do these AS TR have petter puncture protection than the regular GP 5000 if I keep running TPU tubes?

So what’s the consensus on this tire? Good/bad. Looking for a winter/ commuter tire for the long winter months. The reflex strip would be nice to have on a tire in winter.

I'd like to know as well. BRR has them test pretty awesome and they rate them higher than the Corsa Pro Control, which I feel like is a competitor to these. I'm looking for a 32 or 35 mil tire for the winter and it's either these or the Corsa Pro (not control, too slow).robbosmans wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 3:05 pmSo what’s the consensus on this tire?

I got a set first impressions are good. They look tough but mounted up pretty easily. 32mm measured 31mm on 20mm rims.

35mm mounted, measuring 36mm. Riding a 100 miles on Sunday so will report back after. My Saffron is on 32mm 5000 s tr so that will be the benchmark

Has anyone tried both these and the S-Works Mondo? I have the Mondo 35c tubeless and find them a bit sluggish. I like the tubed GP5000 but I've read too many negative reviews about the GP5000 S TR for tubeless, so I'm thinking about trying the AS TR instead. But they seem to be even heavier than the Mondo, so I'm wondering if it's worth swapping the Mondo out for the AS TR at all.
I wanted these but I'm sad that they don't make them in 30mm. I'm thinking of trying the Pirelli P Zero Race TLR in 30mm. On BRR, they rate the same the AS TR as far as watts but rate better in flat resistance and have a thicker tread.

32’s measure 31 so not much difference from a 30AJS914 wrote:I wanted these but I'm sad that they don't make them in 30mm. I'm thinking of trying the Pirelli P Zero Race TLR in 30mm. On BRR, they rate the same the AS TR as far as watts but rate better in flat resistance and have a thicker tread.
Does anybody know if these are compatible with ENVE rims?
The product description says this'll work with hookless, but they're not listed on the official compatibility chart.
I emailed Conti, and they said to email their distribution for the answer. I emailed their distributor, and they said to email Conti, lol.
Might just pick up some Vittoria N.EXT at this point...

Yes, the Enve compatibility list is just a paid advertisement for brands
Any longer term reports on puncture protection? Moved from Switzerland, where I was riding Conti 4000, 5000, 5000 s tr for many years without punctures, to California and got two big punctures in one week on 5000 s tr (had to use plugs, fresh sealant was not able to seal)... They will not work here, need something similar but more resistant

During winter I use Tufo Thundero (36c) or Spikes on my gravel bike for commuting, now 5000 AS TR in 35c for the rest. Just put them up this week-end.
Very nice, more direct road feel, better grip, less RR but 40g heavier each (easily compensated by better RR). Seal immediately, seat with floor pump easily. 3.2 and 3.5 bar on 25mm inner width Giant wheels, inflate to 35mm and 35.3mm at the moment.
Thread and sidewalls are thicker than Tufos.
