GP5000: The Gold-Standard For Road Tires

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 is a worthy successor to the beloved Grand Prix 4000 S II road tire, which reigned over the road-clincher bicycle tire market for over ten years. As you can imagine, creating a better version than the GP4000 was not a simple task, but Conti did it.

The new Grand Prix 5000s are high-performing all-rounders featuring even better versions of Black Chili tread compound and tear-resistant Vectran Breaker technology, as well as two new technologies: Lazer Grip and Active Comfort.

The German tire manufacturer focused specifically on the two problematic areas of the GP4000s — cornering grip and puncture protection. With their added tech in both these departments, the GP5000 rises above all other comparable clinchers.

The Vectran Breaker puncture protection is lighter, is more flexible, and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker used in previous models. Like spider silk, Vectran is an extremely strong and lightweight synthetic material, woven tightly into a multi-strand barrier.

The GP5000's Lazer Grip technology delivers more cornering traction from day one — no break-in time is required thanks to its micro profile structure that reaches over the shoulder of the tire.

Integrated into the 3-ply/330tpi casing of the Grand Prix 5000, Active Comfort technology provides stiffness in the sidewall and flexibility under the tread for greater vibration dampening and excellent ride comfort.

Grand Prix Family

The standard GP5K is only the beginning of the possibilities. If you want a tubeless version, or need hookless compatibility, check out the S TR or AS TR for all-season grip and durability. If you're after pure speed, only the TT TR will do.

Excellent Tire

The Grand Prix 5000 tube-type tire in size 700x30 on a 19mm internal rim measure 30mm width and 27mm height, The 700x28 measures 27.7mm width and about 25mm high on similar rims, so the 30mm tire is true. The tires were within 10 to 15 grams of claimed weight. They mounted easily to tubeless ready rims with Pirelli Smart (thermoplasitc) tubes. Changed to these from Veloflex, which are equally nice hand-made tires because I wanted a larger tire without going up to 32mm, which just seem to be overkill for a pavement-only racing tire. 30mm is appreciated on the rougher sections but for most roads with alligator cracks or better pavement, 28mm still seems more appropriate for me (168 pounds). The 30mm provides a very plush ride at the expense of weight and aerodynamics (if you care).

My Go To Tire!

For years I ran the Conti Gatorskin tires as I was convinced that I needed the extra puncture protection. After hearing so many good things about the Conti GP 5000s I decided to try them a few seasons ago. The GP 5000s are now my go to tire.

I run the GP 5000s with either latex or TPU tubes and I inflate according to the SILCA tire pressure calculator. The roads that I ride on are typically either smooth bike paths or pavement/asphault roads and highways that I would consider to be average to good condition (live in Nebraska, so we get our share of pavement break-up).

Over the 3-4 seasons that I have run the GP5000s I have not experienced any more punctures with these tires that I had with any other tire...they are extremely durable and reliable. With the miles that I ride, I will generally get 1 full season out of the tires, sometimes I can extend the front tire farther as it gets less wear. Besides the same durability as other tires, these tires are incredibly smooth and roll extremely well. I don't see any reason to consider changing to any other tires.

Great handling, long lasting, and puncture resistant.

These tires last and last, about twice as long as the Goodyear tires that came with my bike. The handling is great in temperatures from 25�F up to the mid 90's�F. So far no punctures, so they must be tough as well. All for a reasonable price at BTD!

GP 5000 tires are the only ones I ride

I wanted to move from 25mm to 28mm tires for my road bike, so I stayed with Continentals. The ride is smoother and offers better traction in wet and dry conditions.

Good ride, supple,

Placed these on a Giant Revolt Advanced 2 gravel bike to ride long distance on pavement on alloy factory wheels. Replacing tubeless 40mm gravel tires to a road tire 700c 32 black sidewalls. Got them for long charity ride Bike around the Bay 177 mi weekend ride, Florida rail trail vacations. Daily training rides consist of 20-30 mi rides. Wide enough to soak up sidewalk cracks, and anything else flat I want to ride across in comfort. Paired with Conti race tubes. Total system weight rider and bike 250 lbs, pressures front 65 psi rear 68 psi. No flats during the training and charity ride avoiding broken glass on my rides as I see it in the path as well as I can. I ride mostly concrete bike paths, and asphalt. Do not take these on a small gravel walking paths or off the road they will tear up the side walls. Rubber is slightly tacky I only use in dry conditions good traction. There are two tread wear dimples near the logo find their location so you know where to look for them when your tire wears out for replacement, if similar wear to tubeless S TR I'd expect about 3400 mi. before replacement in my environment hot n humid. Been using Conti products for 25 years haven't diverted to other tire makers because they have not given me a reason to. Pricey, catch them on sale, use your points.

Switch back to tubes

My Trek Domane SL7 came with tubeless tires. I didn�t want to mess with the whole sealant thing. Switched to the GP 5000 with the conti race tubes when the time came to switch tires. What a difference smoother ride and I am actually going faster. Only problem -not the easy to mount on my carbon rims.

Not Much Improvement Since the 4000

I haven�t ridden Continental tires for several years. I found that the 5000�s are as prone to punctures and flats as the 4000�s were in the past. Four flats in two months on tubes. These tires are very difficult to mount or remove unless they�ve been out in the sun for awhile on a warm day. Also, the performance and ride quality of the 5000�s is not any greater than other tire brand I�ve used.

Defective Tire?

I bought a set of these for my road bike about six weeks ago. Size 28mm with translucent side walls. A couple weeks ago the rear tire developed a slit in the sidewall. This allowed the tube to protrude through causing a sudden blowout. I could not find anything in the tire that could�ve caused this. Nor was I aware of hitting or running over anything that could have damaged the sidewall. Therefore, I suspect it was a defective tire. I sent a message to continental tire online a couple weeks ago, but have not heard back from them.

Sidewall Crack & Blowout

Bought a set of Conti GP5000 clincher tires, transparent sidewall, about 5 weeks ago. A couple days ago I had a blowout on the rear tire. Upon inspection I found a crack in the tire sidewall that allowed to tube to blow out and go flat instantly. There is no explanation for the tire damage other than a defective or weak sidewall. The tire only had a few hundred miles on it, and is 99% ridden on paved roads. I have contacted Continental to see if they will provide a replacement tire under warranty.

700x28

Comparatively, to other tires, the Conti for the price is a steal when on sale. Now to the 28mm tire I upped to from a 25mm. Not only is it a bit more plush, I lost no overall speed average. In fact, may have gained a bit but will need to at my speed metric from my last new install of the 25mm size. Is there a better race tire and all-around tire in existence? Maybe, but as long as my Conti's keep providing exceptional ride and performance, I will never know! Try a set today!

Size is off

I bought the 25mm size from BikeTIresDirect on 6/3/2023. Just now (April 2024) installing them for the new season. However, they are not 25mm wide, despite clearly stating so on the sidewall. When properly mounted and fully inflated, they measure 23mm. Too late to return them and shouldn't have to pay return shipping anyway. Though I'm a long-time customer, I will not likely buy any more tires from your store. And though I've used Conti tires for years, I will likely switch to another brand. They had an outstanding tire in the GP4000; and the GP 4-Season is good too. But I will find another brand.

Gr8 tire

I've been riding on Conti's for 2 decades and the newer 5000's for the 3rd year. Terrific tire all-round. They hold pressure, handle and roll rrally well - top shelf.

However, when new they can be a bear to mount!

A few pointers on this that will definitely help. If possible place them in direct warm sunlight for an hour or so to soften it /make a "bit" pliable. Rub the edge of the rim with lightly diluted dish soap. And [oddly] I've worn rubber dipped yard gloves while mounting the tire. Along with a solid mounting lever - all in all these work well and will illiminate the near impossibility if you don't!??

I recently had a rear tire pinch-flat with about 500 miles on the tire - the tube swap was a snap. No problems at all removing/remounting the tire.

Gr8 bike tire! Try 'em!

High performing and durable. Very comfortable ride for a thin tire! Reallyl feel the grip on fast corners.

I use these tires on a vintage 80's high end road bike. At correct inflation they give a smooth, fast ride on my light weight, aluminum frame bike, and enhance its quickness and nimbleness around corners with their great grip on the road. I ride 50-100 miles a week in spring to fall; last version of these tires lasted me two seasons. There is nothing I do not like about these tires in my application; they are a perfect fit for my '84 Schwinn Mangusta 5000. Even the number matches and it feels like they were made with a bike like mine in mind.

The tire is fast only if you can mount it.

I got these for some Hed Jet wheels. In the channel, no luck, even with no base tape as an experiment. Barely got one onto a Mavic Aksium wheelset with tools; other tires fall onto these rims; I hope it will stretch some there. The other? Won�t go on even the Mavics. I know Conti Gatorskins are tough to mount because they�re stiff, but a supple race tire? I�d give it two thumbs down, but they�re too tired.

Best all around road tire in the biz

In my experience the Conti 5000 is the best all around cycling tire. I am a big guy @ 245lbs and avg group rides of 20 mph+. The ride quality, durability, and performance always hits the mark. I am running 30mm on a CAAD13 at 65-70 PSI, and the tire just delivers. With the tire quality, lower tire pressure with running 30mm, & the lower rolling resistance, the ride experience is top notch. I highly recommend. Ride safe!
