Also interesting, following that link, is "
Unfortunately, the new Continental GP500 TL tire has a bead diameter that is way tighter than any other tire we have seen" so, while a slightly different tire, another data point on Conti's being tight!
Anyway, no complaints on performance on "regular" 5000's; I just did not want to miss out on something "better".
