The exemption is when a company has just added TR to a tire, you might find the previous non-TR version on sale.
Conti GP 5000 tires. TL cost more than TT tires. Though my TT tires fit so tight I’d bet I could run them tubeless.

To answer another question. The GP 5000 in 23mm look like they only come in tube type. I tried 25mm tires and early GP5000 tires ran large. Latest set closer to true size.
