Question for the hivemind: has this had it? Cut/tear goes a good mm or so through the tread, maybe down to the casing. If it was tubed I would happily boot it in the event of failure but seems like asking for trouble tubeless. Am I being overly cautious? Just carry a tube and a boot?
Context: Continental gp5000 which has been on just over a week. They have been a marked improvement over the Schwalbe pro ones they replaced in terms of comfort. I weigh about 80kg and have run this at about 70psi. And yes, I have been riding stupid #nogravel type stuff on my fancy new road bike tyres, so it is completely my own fault.
