I just installed these on my Farsports Hyper 25mm internal 30mm ext. rims.
I started off with a pair of 28mm tires that weighed 260g each, (my 1st pair of S TR were 265g in 28mm) and they measured 31mm at 80psi.
I decided to switch the front to a 25mm and it measures 28mm at 80psi and weighs 211g. Its crazy to me how much heavier the 28mm is.

The 25 int / 30 ext from Farsports is hookless, right? If yes, riding a 25mm or even 28mm tire is out of spec and not considered safe. Be careful

They make both hooked and hookless versions. Mine are hooked.

Then it's fine, thanks for clarifying.
Was not aware that 25 int is also available with a hook. I thought hooked rims are 24 int/30ext only. Good to know that there is another option for hooked.

How are people finding these over long term use? Specifically looking at the 28's tubeless are they to fragile as a daily tyre?

I find them OK as a daily tire, but probably just barely based on quantitative testing by BRR.

Heard on an Escape Collective podcast that the whole Ineos team rode the TT TRs in the TdF last year and didn't get a single puncture the entire race.

Personally riding the 25s on one bike and haven't had any problems. To my mind, they're much more reliable than Corsa Speeds and on a par with Corsa Pros as every day tyres.

Anecdotally agree with this. I switched to Corsa Pros on another wheelset and got two punctures in maybe 10 days of riding. My only puncture with GP5K TT TRs was at race speed riding across a deep rain gutter that traversed a street. The transition from concrete gutter to asphalt had an edge.

Mileage-wise, I don’t actually know because they’re on my least often used wheels/bikes. 2000mi at least.

Very nice! I just put a pair of 28's on my main (dry weather) bike, and plan on using it on group rides, gran fondo's, and a few races this spring, summer, and fall.

My cream AS TRs got dark very quickly and they're now about the same shade of brown as the tan S TRs. :noidea:
