I've had the S-Works Turbo 2Bliss T2/T5 tyres for about a year and a half now, roughly about 7,400km (4,500miles), and I've never had any puncture so far, and I use the tyre with butyl tubes in (haven't set in the idea of going tubeless yet), I've had 2 sets of Continental GP5000s before, they punctured a lot, like on the surface and on the side walls, I do love how fast they can go but never had any luck with the GP5000s, I'm sticking with the S-Works Turbos for my next tyre, probably going tubeless for the next ones for less rolling resistance
Maybe it's an old-guy thing...I buy tires in 3 quite often as well. Never liked anything Continental. Who makes the Big-S tire for them? Lion Tire (Vittoria once they moved to Thailand) Challenge? My faves have been Vittoria (from Thailand) for years with Veloflex (the old Vittoria, still in Italy) and Rene Herse (Panaracer) in there as well. I'll never buy anything marketed by Kim Il Sinyard and his comrades in Morgan Hill. Just like sheets on the bed, higher thread-count is better for tires.

I have enjoyed my turbo’s, but got them at a close out. If I can’t get them again, will continue on with my RH.

It seems like I heard that Vittoria made them...but I cannot say that for sure.

@@oldguyandabike Specialized bought their own tyre plant in the far east a couple of years ago and only manufacture tyres for themselves

$100.00 per tire¿. 🫵🏻 So buy 6 before the price is $125.00 per.
