Wouldn't have posted this if it wasn't apples to apples. I went through 4 sets of 5000TLs on the same bike, same size tire, same pressures, same riding style and same routes. You've put a lot of time in riding the 5000TL?
Also, weather here in Tucson pretty consistently dry.
I still have plenty of confidence in the P Zero Race TLR, and descended 7,000 feet (ave 33.8/max 42.8), on them yesterday....but I now take more care braking the rear wheel compared to all the miles I put before with the Contis.
