I bought two of S-works Turbe T2/T5 2Bliss Ready tires and mounted one on the rear wheel first (my GP5000 in the front still has a few months of lifetime left). I was shocked that the Specialized tire that is advertised as having a good grip, has the poorest grips of any tires I have used over the last 14 years. It slips on humid (not even rain-wet) tarmac as soon as I put any additional push to the pedals (e.g. during climbs - climbing any hill above 10% becomes a serious safety hazard with the rear wheel thumbling in one place). I am not sure if this is some manufacturing deffect of the particular tire I received, but likely I won't know (I can't return the used tire). I can not honestly recommend this product, and I will be returning the second (not used) tire for a refund.
Product Details
Specialized S-Works Turbo T2/T5 2Bliss Ready Road Tyre
Whether training or racing, Specialized’s S-Works Turbo T2/T5 2Bliss Ready Road Tyre offers grip, performance and durability.
The combination of GRIPTON T2 rubber in the centre and T5 on the shoulders give the best of both worlds, making it the perfect choice for anyone who wants a versatile tyre that doesn't compromise on performance. It features BlackBelt puncture protection within the carcass which is a tough, supple layer that prevents punctures without spoiling the ride quality, feel or handling.
As a 2Bliss tyre, it is tubeless-ready so can be used at lower pressures for better grip and comfort without risking a pinch puncture, and it is also hooked and hookless compatible for maximum versatility.

Reviews
This is my 2 nd set of tyres from Specialised. My first are Tubeless S Works Turbo 700x 28 width. Which are very comfortable compared to 25c. These ones are 700x30 I thought pros running 28 & 30s so it ain’t goona slow me down ! In fact I am faster over most terrain and descents are fast & more comfortable with 30s running 65-70 psi weight 74 kg Quick Dispatch from Sigma

About Specialized
Innovate or die.
Founded in California in 1974, Specialized began with a simple promise: serious riders deserve serious gear. Half a century later, the brand still funds its own wind tunnel, builds its own carbon, and tests every bike with the world's best so that you ride your own best.
The first production mountain bike. The first cycling-specific shoes. FACT carbon, the Win Tunnel, S-Works. Specialized has a habit of building the things the rest of cycling ends up copying.
