Continental

These Continental Terra Trail 650b Gravel Tires are fast. They have great rolling resistance. I bought these for the $ock Cobbler and they did not let me down! The puncture resistance was top of the line. I ran them tubless at 35 psi and I had not problem with punctures. These have become my favorite tire especially with mixed terrain like road to hard pack, single track, and chunky rock. They did well over grass too. I would recommend these to anyone looking for speed and stability. I would buy another set 100%.

This tire is fast, durable, puncture-resistant, supple, and sticky. I run a size 35c, so my only minor criticism is that it has some weight. I haven't used this particular version in smaller sizes, but I come from the time of running 23c GP3000 tires that were the best you could do at the time. They weighed much less, and I got flats all the time, and slid out on wet corners, and 120psi rattled my elbows. I run these tubeless and have been getting about 5000 miles out of a tire, without needing to repair any flats. I get curious about other tires, but I always just come back to these as they haven't let me down over 15K miles.

Can't really say a lot about these that would skew anyone's decision. They are fast and grippy, it seems almost every wheel profile is designed around a GP series tire, it's a solid choice.

They are way too expensive for a tire. For a bicycle. For a race tire they won't last long for sure, so you're paying for speed. Even on sale they are expensive. No one forced me to buy them but just from a practical standpoint, they cost too much.

Running these tubeless has been a revelation. Mounting was straightforward, sealant setup was painless, and they've held air flawlessly. On the road, the GP 5000 S TR strikes that rare balance of low rolling resistance and real-world durability, all while delivering an incredibly supple ride. They're the plushest road tires I've ridden'soaking up rough Michigan pavement without feeling slow or vague. Fast, grippy, and confidence-boosting at speed. Benchmark-level performance.
