Gosh help me if I have to do a roadside repair! Of course that rarely happens and it’ll be stretched out by the time it does.
I can't speak for the older version, but the latest 5000S TR are very easy to fit and inflate on my DT Swiss ERC 1400 rims. After running a pair this season (30mm version) they are now my favourite tyres. They held up very well on our rough UK roads and no flats. Grip/handling is pretty solid too and I'm sure they roll fast enough!
