I have 2,458.8km (1527.8 miles) on my Continetal GP 5000 TL (tubeless version) ... 25mm wide
I've been riding on ****ty potholed roads and I have had zero punctures, the tyres are fast, grip very well in the wet and dry and still look very good. I normally change tyres around the 2000km mark .... these still have many miles in them.
I'm so impressed with these, that I have bought the clincher version (GP 5000) in 32mm wide for my Miyata One Thousand touring bike

this is great to hear. My TL’s have about 400 miles on them and are still in perfect shape tread wise. However they have both been throwing a few cords off that I’ve had to cut. I’m going to try and burn them off to seal where it starts but it’s been on both front and rear tires causing me a bit of concern. Did this happen to you at all?
