I want to know if there will be an issue using Continental GP 5000, not tubeless ready, on the other wheel. These are going to be mounted on Mavic Aksiums. If there isn't an issue running them concurrently would it matter which is on the rear or the front. I believe that the TR is slightly heavier and has a little lower thread count - 330 TPI vs 220 TPI. Both tires will have latex tubes.
If the below link represents the 2 tires you're referencing, I'd put the TR tire in the rear as it'll be more puncture prone than the NonTR tire. Generally, it'd be preferable to have more puncture resistance in the front for safety reasons.
