Reviews
1) For all their many virtues, Conti GP5000s make a roadside flat a crisis: "Will I be able to get this OFF the rim and then get it back ON before I freeze to death?".
2) I'm not sold on tubeless. I run TPU tubes year-round and average one flat every two years riding 3-5k miles a year. I replace tires frequently enough that they are never worn or degraded and ride on familiar roads, paved trails. IMHO, tubeless is just too complicated with little discernable advantage.
3) I HATE wrestling tubeless tires onto carbon wheels!
I gave these Goodyears a try and they immediately won me over --they are EASY to install. Next, with a little soapy water sprayed along the bead and 80 PSI they popped into place and ran true. The ride is the equivalent to the Vittoria Corsa N.EXT -- which is to say: very good training tire.
I prefer Vittoria Corsa Pro or Veloflex for race tires, but they don't wear as long and are a bit more delicate for daily riding on public roads, so I reserve those for specific rides.
Overall, the Goodyear Eagle F1 R tube type is an excellent tire -- especially for higher mileage volume where the possibility of a flat far from home is higher and you need to be able to remove and remount in short order.
