Continetal Grand Prix 5000S TR(GP5000S TR) appears to about the best of the best by those that race with the need for spped. You wouldn't need tubes with those if you so choose as these won't leak. Even the regular GP 5000 is terrific. I know you're familiar with the RH brand and all but in the world outside the RH niche customers, Michelin, Vittoria, Pirelli, Schwalbe and the like rule.
According to this one of many websites about fast racing tires, even using TPU tubes add a notable amount of RR. They also favor the GP5000s TR as overall best tire. While this test is for 30mm tires, many come in a 32mm, as does the Conti tires. https://granfondo-cycling.com/best-roadbike-tires-review-2025/ With the GP 5000 S TR, Continental deliver a true all-rounder – efficient, reliable and thoroughly convincing. For a price just above the test average, it offers a well-balanced package that impresses with only 11 watts of rolling resistance and the best puncture protection in the entire test field. Acceleration feels punchy, handling is sharp and precise, and the ride quality strikes a sporty, taut balance. Tubeless setup and sealing are effortless, build quality is excellent and the look is already a modern classic. No other tire in this test combines so many strengths at such a high level – a well-deserved test winner! Congratulations.
