HED Ardenne RA Performance and GP 5000

Just cancelled a pre-order for some 700x28c Continental Grand Prix 5000S TR's, Just can't see spending 100.00 dollars a tire, even though most reviews report better tire ease of installation and rolling resistance. Instead I ordered some older Continental Grand Prix 5000 clinchers for half the price. Currently, I have been happy with 700x28c Kenda Valkyre Pro's that were on the HED Ardenne RA Performance wheelset from lynskey. These tires have about 1500 miles on them and the rear is showing signs of a little wear. Figured best to stock up on some replacement rubber now, who knows what the availability and prices will be in the next few months .

So, since I don't have these tires in hand I was just wondering if anyone can comment on the ease or difficulty to install and remove the Continental Grand Prix 5000 clincher tires on a HED Adennes RA Performance rim.
