I've just received a pair of GP 5000 AS TR with cream sidewalls and they look lovely to my eyes. The problem is I ordered 25s but received 28s and they're heavy - 340g for the one I weighed, so I'll probably sell them. Is there anything else out there with the same colour of sidewall? The tan GP5000s are too brown, and the Veloflexes are too yellow. Vittoria Corsa seem to be a bit lighter but still more tan than cream. What else is out there that's reasonably lightweight and quick?

You've received the wrong size and because those are heavy you want a different tire in the same colour.

Swap them for 25s? On another note, is colour your primary requirement?

I'm in the UK and I bought them from a Spanish online shop, so I cannot be bothered with the hassle of sending them back to get 25s, which are supposed to be a fair bit lighter. Besides, these tyres are £85 each in the UK, and I got them for roughly £65 delivered so I can probably sell them here unused and get my money back, or keep them and use them on one of my winter bikes, where I am not too fussed about weight or aerodynamic profile.

Colour is one of the primary requirements, but low rolling resistance, decent weight, and tubeless ready are others. I have GP5000 S TRs in black and brown in 25s, but I would like this lighter colour for one of my bikes, so I am asking if anyone knows of anything else with a similar cream/white side wall.

The new Challenge Criterium RS comes in a white wall version that is almost as fast as the GP5000 STR. It's lighter (claimed 25g lighter than str) and should feel better than the GP5000's. Just be mindful of the wet grip on asphalt. Also, very expensive.

Email Conti requesting that they do GP5000 S TR in cream. If they receive enough requests, they'll probably do it. I'm sure it's under consideration.

Those do look nice, but £90 a pop! :unbelievable:
