I had the conti 4season (32mm). I'm now on 32mm GP5000 tubless. Insanely fast. Race bike fast. Super low rolling resistance. much more comfortable and smooth ride. Lots of traction. Better than the 4season in every way - except lower tread life and less sidewall protection.

Boy are they fun to ride in on. Grabbed my bike with them this morning and it felt like I had a breeze on my back on the way in. Great way to start the day.

Just be warned. Conti's road tubless tires are a pain to put on unless you have a properly matched rim (not a hookless rim). Super tight, super thick bead. Since you are not a tubless guy, there is the traditional tubed version. Those are straight forwared to mount (just like the 4season). But having a 32mm TL tire this fast is revolutionary in my mind.
