Zipp Tangente Speed Tubeless tires?
Anyone riding on these tires? In The Know Cycling gave them a solid review. My GP5000TLs are due for replacement and I'm considering the Zipps as a possible substitute.

If I could find them for a decent price, I'd give them a whirl (I do have some Zipp wheels, after all), but there are too many excellent tires regularly available at ~$50 and under for me to pay more for the Tangente.

What other tubeless tires are people riding that compare favorably to the 5000TLs?

I'm currently running the Schwalbe Pro One TLE Addix and they're really great: good grip, roll nicely, supple ride, good mileage (just swapped out my rear tire after ~2,800 miles, which is good for me for a racy tire). Note that the Pro Ones TLE without the Addix compound are from the previous gen and have a reputation for not being terribly robust and/or long-wearing.
Previous to the Schwalbe, I was running Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance 11Storm. They were pretty good, but not quite as nice as the Schwalbe - not quite as comfy and took a couple bad cuts, though that could have just been luck.
Also on my list to try are: Vittoria Corsa and Corsa Control TLR, Michelin Power Road TLR, and the Pirelli P Zero Race TLR.
