So I just ordered the new Zipp 404 to be used as my dedicated tarmac wheels on this bad boy and since I can't use my favorite tires Continental GP5000 on these hookless rims I'm wondering what you guys think is the best alternative? I'm looking for something in the 28-32mm range that has the same great overall performance and durability as the Contis. Thanks!

I just ordered these: https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.co ... o-race-tlr. Bested the GP5000s in every category except rolling resistance.

Mounted the third set of these on my race bike (TLR SL 26 front, TLR 26 rear) just a few days ago. They feel very good, smooth and grippy. I squeeze about 5.000 Km out of them. They might last longer, at least the indicators in the tread suggest that. But at the same time the tread looks pretty worn. I had two punctures in about 10.000 Km (one per set, one front/TLR SL, one rear/TLR). Both times it was a small shard sticking in the tread. Sealant did its job both times.

Thanks, these actually look like a pretty good alternative.
