Pirelli tires
I posted a month ago looking for a solution to hard to mount Continental gp 5000 tires on Boyd prologue wheels. jaxgtr gave me some great advice. He recommended Pirelli tires.
I have been using the Pirelli P Zero Road with Latex tubes. They are a great substitute for Conti's. I have 1000 miles on the tires and the wear, performance and cost are right in line with the conti's.
Thanks to jaxgtr and rest of forum for the info.

Glad to hear they are working out well for you.
I've found the Pirelli P-ZERO range (both tubed and tubeless versions) to be on par with the Conti GP4000/5000 tyres I ran for years beforehand, but slightly easier to mount on my wheelsets.

Love my P-Zeros. I have been a Conti user since the mid 90s but these Pirellis are fantastic. And, you can mount them without tire levers. Bonus.
