ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I've been using Conti GP tires since 2012 and have loved them ever since. The roll incrediby fast with some of the best in class rolling resistance ratings. Many folks just think of straight line speed, but these tires definitely improve climbing ability as well. They provide great cornering, giving you all the confidence you need to take those fast tight corners. I have tried a few others, but honestly, I went back to the Contis well before those "other brands" had completed their useful lifespan. Just dont waste time and money on other tires, go with these.

I've been riding Continental GPs for a long time. I find them to be fast, durable and grippy in dry or wet conditions. Being an old horse (72) I don't race as much as I did but I'm training daily and the current GP5000 are great all round high performance tires!

I've been riding Conti's for about 10 years now; clinchers with tubes. I got occasional flats but, and it may be luck, haven't had a flat now for almost 3 years and 7K miles. It may be that going to wider tires (I'm now on 30's) and lower tire pressures (now at 60 & 65) result in fewer flats? Conti's have a reputation for being hard to mount. This was true on my 21mm internal alloy wheels. But, I am able to mount the 30's on Vision carbon wheels using only my hands. So, it seems the right combination of wheel and tire make a difference. I got about 3K on size 25mm but am getting more than that since upsizing. They roll nicely on the Vision wheels with Silca TPU tubes; low rolling resistance and reliable combo.

Light and fast.

I use 32mm on my cervelo Caledonia and they are great. Fast, durable and smooth. Perfect for those of us that prefer the to tubeless.

Sooooo much better than my 26 mm from a different brand that I was using. These 30 mm are smooth and fast.

I have been using the Grand Prix series of tires (Grand Prix, GP2000, GP3000, GP4000 and 4000S II, and now GP5000) since 1994 when they were original equipment on my Cannondale. Originally 23mm wide, of course, then 25mm and now mostly 28mm. I consider myself an enthusiast - not a racer, but a relatively high mileage (8,500 miles this year) rider including local shop rides, fondos, and longer solo rides. The GP5000 tires are ideal for my "best" bike, for the more ambitious rides - fast, good ride quality, reasonable wear and reliable. I use cheaper, more durable tires on other bikes, for shorter, local rides, errands, etc., and the difference in speed and comfort is obvious to me (and to Strava).

Like everyone else, my email is full of great deals on everything bike related. But when I check the reviews of other equivalent tires vs. the GP5000s, I don't see any reason to switch. Everything else is typically slower, and not offering any benefits in return for higher rolling resistance.

I am finding that current production runs are truer to size than they were a few years ago - I'm seeing maybe 28.4mm width on a 28C tire, on 18mm internal width rims where some older tires would be closer to 30mm.

Long-time Conti rider and the GP 5000 is definitely a step up from past versions. Smooth rolling and very comfortable in the 30 mm size. Even better with BTD pricing!

I am an avid road cyclist that puts in an average of 200 miles a week on my bike. These tires have been my rock solid choice for years. Long lasting, near puncture proof and provided me a nice degree of security on the road. Love the nice cream side wall color on my solid black bike frame!

I've had good service experience with several sets of GP5000 clinchers from 28mm to 32mm in width. More durable than Vittoria Corsas in my experience. Bead diameter is very consistent across individual tires...so if one fits well on your wheels, subsequent ones will too. If you are coming from the old Conti GP 4000sII, please note that a 25C GP4000sII has roughly the same tire width mounted as a 28C GP5000. Continental did adjust their width sizing between the two models.

I have roughly 500 miles on tires. One flat, none in the last 300 miles. Noticeably quicker than previous tires. So far very satisfactory.

Great rolling resistance. Bicycle rolling resistance tests this tire as one of the best, but unlike the competition at the top of the chart, it still has great grip and puncture protection.

I ride 28mm size on my road bike and 32mm (Now running the 35mm AS version) on my commuter for faster commutes. My commute goes through an industrial area and the debris on the road is insane. I had some Vittoria tires puncture multiple times before going back to my trusty Conti GP5000 tires.

Good and lightweight. Relatively ez to put on. Need to put on rim in specific direction marked.

First, I love these tires and I've been using them for several years. I purchased a set last August, 2024 and have approximately 2,500 miles on them, but the side walls are dry rotted... the date code for last year's purchase is ("0622" = week of Feb 6, 2022).

I just received a new set today and see that these tires are date coded ("2822" = week of July 11, 2022)!

Is this set going to dry rot too before they wear out?! They're already 3 years old. Love these tires, but I don't see the value when the side walls dry rot before the tire wear down.

These are great! Knock on wood, I never had a flat on my first 2 sets. They ride smooth and I rode at least 4,500 miles on each set and could have gotten more, but didn't want to push my luck.

These came recommended by a sales rep with BTD.

I am an 84 year old cyclist and typically ride between 4500 to 5500 miles per year for the last 30 years. I have been riding the Continental Grand Prix 5000 road tires for a number of years. It is quite durable, provides a smooth ride and has great traction. Having tried many different brands and tires, this is my favorite.

This is my third set of tires I've ordered from BTD. They ship quickly and the product is always quality.

I had been reading reviews about these tires. Once installed, I was impressed by the low rolling resistance compared to my older tires. They also seem to have decent traction in wet weather as well. I'll definitely be buying these again.

Great road tires. A staple in our group. If you are not planning on going tubeless, then do not order the TRs. Make sure you get the ones that do not say TR. This makes getting the tires on so much easier if you are using inner tubes.

These tires are great. I ordered 28 mm and got a great deal from Bike Tires Direct. They have great grip in corners and roll smooth on the flats. The roads around here have plenty of potholes and cracks, and the extra volume over the 25 mm helps with the bumps when you do hit a rough stretch. No complaints, they're Continentals.
