GP5000's are summer tyres, so great for doing something like London to Brighton; I used them for Paris-Brest-Paris and London-Edinburgh-London as they're my go-to tyre. They'll fit fine on your Trek.

They're not commuting tyres however as they have less puncture protection unless the roads aren't as bad as they are in Yorkshire; something like Schwalbe Durano / Vittoria Rubino are better for commuting.

Ohh I thought they had good puncture resistance?

It depends on your commuting route. If it's on decent condition roads then you should be fine.

I commute into/out of Leeds using roads that haven't been swept in years, so wouldn't use GP5000's.

Please tell us what sort of riding you're doing and what wheels you're going to fit these tyers (sic) on.
They come in different widths - need to ensure your frame/fork has the necessary clearance.

GP5000s come in different flavours too. My daughter rides GP5000 TT TR on her triathlon bike (and races in New Zealand in 9 days).

I get passed by a lot of people riding those kind of bikes, it just isn't fair.:cry:
