I would love to ride on the GP5000's. They are great tires. I had them for awhile and they rode like a dream except too many flats. In my area unfortunately there is an abundance of crap on the neglected roads and as a bonus goatheads. I ride on Gatorskins now and the flats are few and far between. I found that you can have a sweet ride or protection from flats, you can't have both.
