A pretty standard tri tire setup is latex and GP5000's.

Oh, and don't even think about running Gators. Someone did the the math in the past on that and you literally save so much time with a GP5000 tire on a good length race you could flat a GP5000 and change the tube and still be faster than the Gator!

So, you're faster running a fast tire even if you flat the tire because they're soooo much faster.
