thx
GP5000s also have an anti-puncture layer and are imo the best performance-oriented all around tire. They're actually the best rolling tire which has an anti-puncture layer and reasonably thick thread, all the better rolling tires are significantly thinner TT style tires without a puncture resistance layer. Continental really hit the spot with the GP5000, they've got both the durability and puncture resistance and the rolling resistance and grip.
