I’ve fitted them (GP5000 Tubeless in 32C) and loving it so far. Running around 75 psi (spec is 65-87 psi) and it’s a fantastic ride on gravel. Interestingly on, curved descents with small loosish gravel this tire felt about as stable as the Speed Terrane.

On tarmac a bit more pressure feels better but it was still good at 75psi.

Interestingly they don’t stretch out much on wider rims, despite Continental official spec that they are sized for 19C rims., I have these tries in 700x32C on Bontrager Paradigm Elite 25 rims with 25mm internal width and the tires are basically less than 33mm wide.
