I never ride in the rain and usually wait for dry roads before heading out, thus the OEM's might be OK. I purchased a set of 28mm GP5000's, not sure I want to install. I thought of going tubeless and running air pressure down around 70-80, but found the bike rode so smoothly at 100-105 that I may just experiment with lowering on the Bontrager's to 95-100 or so. I like the idea of the GP5000's as tubeless, but am so accustomed to using tubes on road bikes, that am Ok staying with old school, plus I rarely get flats.
