Can't really say a lot about these that would skew anyone's decision. They are fast and grippy, it seems almost every wheel profile is designed around a GP series tire, it's a solid choice.

They are way too expensive for a tire. For a bicycle. For a race tire they won't last long for sure, so you're paying for speed. Even on sale they are expensive. No one forced me to buy them but just from a practical standpoint, they cost too much.

Running these tubeless has been a revelation. Mounting was straightforward, sealant setup was painless, and they've held air flawlessly. On the road, the GP 5000 S TR strikes that rare balance of low rolling resistance and real-world durability, all while delivering an incredibly supple ride. They're the plushest road tires I've ridden'soaking up rough Michigan pavement without feeling slow or vague. Fast, grippy, and confidence-boosting at speed. Benchmark-level performance.

My gravel bike serves double duty as my year round commuter as well. While these tires don't have the greatest puncture protection, they're a good value compromise since I don't have multiple wheelsets or a MTB and I like to enjoy some off-road fun occasionally and these perform really well on light to moderate gravel and easy single track. Though the protection isn't amazing, it's not horrible especially for the price, and they tend to seal up reasonably well with Orange and plug easily with cheap bacon strips when the sealant isn't enough on its own. I've found them to roll nicely on either paved or not, unlike some other gravel tires I've tried - looking at you GravelKing SK's. They're not too difficult to mount tubeless, though I do find I need to top them up every couple days. Panaracer, Goodyear, and Schwalbe tubeless tires that I've tried all held air a bit better, but had other tradeoffs I didn't like. Durability is also decent but not amazing - I've gone through a few sets of these and they tend to last about 2k - 2500 miles. I'm 205lbs so that's about average for me for tires. The Goodyear Connector I tried was going strong at 3500 miles until it got a large cut, but it felt noticeably slower than these Terra Trails. These are a bit of a Jack of All Trades; don't do anything really great but are solid on just about everything. Being that they're on the low end price-wise of tubeless gravel tires makes these my go-to.

Installation was better than most tubeless gravel tires. I used a compressor and they snapped into place on the first try. I added sealant through the valve and they are holding air well. I've been riding them on 50/50 gravel and pavement. I've been using between 32-38 psi . They roll very well on hardpack and pavement. These could be my go to for fast gravel / higher ratio of pavement. If riding a higher ratio of gravel (esp with known chunky gravel and/or washboard), I'd pick wider mtb tires to run more like 24 psi.
