I should have mentioned this in the video. Thanks for bringing it up! Yes, I have run tubless on all of them (apart from the turbo cottons) If the tyres sit at 28mm, at 85kg, I run at 78-80psi. If they blow out to 30mm I run at 70-75psi. I run the same psi regardless of set up. In terms of tubless set up ease, I found them all the same. I do need a charger pump just to get them seated but it’s not much. Same goes with the conti TT Tr. I usually run tubless to begin with to see how they feel. Then I use the ride now TPU tubes for the rest of the life. Now I have used them all I generally now only run tubless on my TT for speed and possible puncture resistance. Then always tpu now on my road set ups. (Unless testing a new tyre)
Same... I almost never puncture on Conti GP5000. They have surprised me many times after riding through cringe-worthy road debris and coming out unscathed. Fantastic tire considering they are best in class or highly competitive in every important category.
Turbo Cotton is my fav tire of all time. Super fast and the easiest to set up by far. I also have a pair with like 15k kilometres and I punctured 3 times in the last 4 years
Your review was honest and spot-on., I'm using the Continental 5000 All-Season tire, but unfortunately, I had multiple punctures with it, and it was really difficult to install every time. I’m now planning to buy the new Vittoria Corsa Pro, which I think is a solid option despite the higher price
@@cyclingunboxedno no no, they’re training/winter tires. Heavier, slower, cheaper. Not performance oriented. You might want to try to CORSA PRO SPEED which are TT tires like the Pro One TT and GP5000 TT TR
I do mean for winter sorry. I should have said. Nicer having a more puncture resistant tyre for winter. I run the gp5 TT on my time trial bike at the moment. Really love them. When they wear though I will definitely go for the corsa pro speed. They are suggested to be slightly faster on the test data
Specialized are my favourites. If the GP5000s were easy to get on and off I’d go for those. Personally, I don’t mind the occasional puncture if it’s easy to change. FWIW, I’ve never punctured on the Cottons, but I run them at the recommended 95psi.
I mostly use Vittoria Corsa G+ Clinchers (tube type) (tubeless tires tend to be a touch heavier). I have used Conti's but like you I'm not a fan of their tan sidewall. Currently I am using the Spec. Turbo Cotton (26mm) on my Tarmac SL 7.5; So far so good but they will wear faster I can already tell. I am a light rider at 63 kg thus no punctures yet but it's early! Thank you! One category you didn't mention was cost: Very Important.
I ran all these tyres and share the same impressions, though, I feel the Vitoria tend to crumple a bit at low pressure (I run 60-65 on the belgian pavements) compared to the Conti and the Schwalbe. I was positively surprised with the Schwalbe for the rolling, the outfit at very low pressure and the 28 coming out at 30 mm on my wheels. Since I am now used to measure 30mm on my wheels, I can hardly go back to a narrower width, and I feel the 28 of my brand new Victoria is too narrow. One last thing, I feel less secure with the Victoria on the wet, compared to the Conti and the Schwalbe. I ran the Turbo 26, which I felt was a bit below on all criterias, a good all round tyre though.
I'm riding the streets of NYC.... Conti 5000's all the way.... running 28c right now... looking to get 32c just because I heard they are faster a few seconds over 10 miles... lol....
How much do you weigh... 90, 100 kg? It seems you should get better longevity from the Conti GP5000. I'm 84 kg and easily surpass 5,000 km before hitting the wear indicators.
I sit at 85kg for most of the year. I do tend to swap the front and rear out which can get me to 7000km but I find at 5k the tyre starts to look a bit flat topped. The original gp5 lasted a bit longer but I find the strs do wear a bit quicker for me.
They are all definitely performance tyres. Not cheap for sure but if you are doing any upgrades to you bike I then think they become by far the cheapest upgrade for watts gained. Way cheaper and faster than buying a new set of wheels, or frame or group set i think

are you running the tyres tubeless where possible and what are your tyre pressures?

thanks, that's very helpful. I'm currently trying to navigate the tyre jungle and it's tough to find a route sometime. Jon

Same experience, now on all my road bikes.
I have only been using conti tires for 20 years
Their automotive tires are top-notch too! 😀👍
Best tires. Never punctured.

Who doesn't love a good tire mashup? Nice job.

Very good review! Now you have to test this one!! Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR G2.0 28mm. I have them and They are amazing!!
I do want to give them a go. I assume they would be somewhat similar to the corsa pros though?

@@cyclingunboxed i have used the Corsa Pro Speed in 28, fast indeed. And fragile. Short lifespan
As you would suspect for a pure TT tire though right.
I can’t say the gp5 TT feel fragile. Quite solid in fact so would be an interesting comparison
My personal choice is Vittoria especially Corsa Next as I prefer a smoother ride
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Noted rider specific preferences😊
Specialized are my favourites. If the GP5000s were easy to get on and off I’d go for those. Personally, I don’t mind the occasional puncture if it’s easy to change. FWIW, I’ve never punctured on the Cottons, but I run them at the recommended 95psi.
95% great video. If the data/scores were tabulated to make it easier to follow, it'd be an easy 100% great.
You are right. It would have been better!
Next time I shall take this on board

You are right. I missed out cost. Will make sure I don’t miss it in future videos

I think the turbo cottons have remained unchanged/same model as 10years ago?
I knew they were showing there age a bit but didn’t realise they were that old!
I'm riding the streets of NYC.... Conti 5000's all the way.... running 28c right now... looking to get 32c just because I heard they are faster a few seconds over 10 miles... lol....
The turbo cottons do come in 28mm, they're the "Hell of the north" edition.
Turbo cotton lol, what year is it?

My scwalbe is 11 years old and 30k km. Still running
Took me an hour taking off the GP5000 STR on Roval CL wheels, best all round. The Sworks turbo cotton feel fastest.
10:25 tell me you’re going to ride fast without telling me you’re going to ride fast
Those tyres are all far too expensive for me!
