I use tyres until approx 2000km (1200 miles), and then they are knackered as they start wearing thin and puncture easily.... less km on tyres such as Specialized Turbo Cotton (theyn start puncturing from approx 1500km)bm0p700f wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 1:29 pmConti have not hit out of the park. I liek the GP5000TL but not as an all round tyre. it is a race tyre as it wear life is not long. Squared off in less than 1000 miles. I will run it till the wear markers are gone but they are half way gone. A dose of realism is needed here unless 2000 mile wear life is now considered excellent. A hutinson will do that for less money.
Well it's the fastest tire out there (not counting corsa speed), it's expected to have more wear.bm0p700f wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 1:29 pmConti have not hit out of the park.

Mavic app recommends 74-77 front rear for your setup (for comfort). The new Vittorias will be more comfortable since they are 320tpi.parajba wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 8:59 pmI cannot find the minimum safe pressure for the 5000TL 25mm (I find them a bit harsh at 75PSI and want to see if it’s a pressure problem. I am 69kg, rims are CLX50 20.7 int and 29.4 ext, size 25mm).
I wonder if the Vittoria are more comfortable and why the 5000TL are so harsh.
Thanks for the reply. I am comparing them to Vittoria Corsa G+ 25mm clincher (88PSI front, 92PSI rear) with Specialized turbo inner tubes. My old Vittoria were definitely comfier.zefs wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 7:29 amMavic app recommends 74-77 front rear for your setup (for comfort).

What tire are you comparing the 5000TL and finding it harsh? I haven't tested them yet but I did find the old 4000s2 harsh overall so it's a factor for me as well, if the new ones are like the old I might opt for Vittoria (if they mount easy) or go back to Galactik's.
