ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I upgraded from the stock tires on my Trek Domane to these GP5000s with TPU tubes and it's a simple change with a noticeable difference in feel and performance.

Years later, it's still the tire I go with. I went a few mils wider this time. If it's like the last set, it provides great puncture resistance and works wonderfully with latex tubes.

I swapped my stock tires to these after hearing so many stories about how good GP5000 tires are. The stories, at least in my use, appear true. My average speed has increased as well as my max speed. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

This is the best overall road racing clincher I have ever used. If it were tubeless ready it would be nearly perfect. Very low rolling resistance, supple, long wearing durabilty, puncture resistance and good grip. What more could you ask for in a road racing tire besides tubeless ready? The price is a little steep. But so is everything else. Especially in the cycling industry. Because nearly everything is imported. And the American produced products are just high for other reasons.

A revelation after many happy years on Michelins, and Vittoria tubulars early on. Germanic precision and speed or French finesse or Italian panache. All revelatory in their own way. But the glide and engagement of this tire surprises in the best way. Many thanks to the exceptional BTD staff that put me on to this tire.

The tires are really good, but quite expensive. I wished I had configured it to be run-flat, however, rather than using tubes. I've gotten pinch flat and my wheel was a big hassle to change the tube (punctured it at the site) that I had to call my wife to take me home. I punctured a tube again at home trying to replace it so I decided to take it to REI for a new tube and liner, and they even struggle to put back the tire. It's my wheel, not the tire, however.

Why GP 5000? 1. Fast. Low rolling is far better than Vittoria or Schwalbe tires that I have ridden. 2. Punctures resistance. For such a high performance tire, it is incredibly durable. I never flat riding these tires. 3. Long lasting. Tire wear if less better than competitors. Worth spending a little more, a great value. 4. Grip. Most of my rides include significant descents often on wet roads. These tires corner extremely well on steep, technical descents. 5. Appearance. May not be important to some, but the cream side wall tire is beautiful on my bike. Highly recommend these tires!

daily road use. Flat asphalt 95%.

Good dry traction. Better than fair wet traction.

Im in So. Fla so no cold weather to affect traction.

puncture resistance seems improved over last couple of replacements [ last two years ].

avg. 18 miles per day X 5 days per week.

After almost 13 years of riding on 28mm (32mm Black Edition since 2017) GP 4 Seasons exclusively - with tubes - I am a late adopter to this tire. I've used tubeless for as long as I can remember for gravel, but have been reluctant to use it for road. I transitioned to a tubeless GP 5000 35mm AS/TR setup this year and will never go back. Running the lowest pressure I've ever run, rolling faster than I did with tubes, and comfortable while I'm at it. Although 32mm would be better aerodynamically, I don't race and really enjoy the extra width for ride comfort. Now have this tire on all of my bikes / road wheelsets.

Last but not least, the Black Chili compound makes for some insane grip. The "Lazer Grip" design extends this compound over the shoulder of the tire. Hitting corners faster than ever. When deep into a turn at speed, these tires make a very satisfying squealing sound from the compound gripping the road surface. The tire absolutely carves corners in turns, and scoops the road under power. Pricey but 100% worth it - tires should never be skimped on.

These are still my go to tube type tires in 32mm. They hold up well and ride great with TPU tubes on the rough roads of Solvang and Big Bear.

I've been a Conti 5000 tire user for longer than I remember now. I have a 20yr old Trek 1200 road bike. I weigh 230. I get the most miles on tires now than ever. I know a bunch of technology improvements have happened in 20yrs, but I'm sold on this tire. Running over gravel in the road? All's good. Tight corner on sticky blacktop on a sunny 90-plus day? All's good. Poorly chip sealed and worn road by the local DOT? Well... it'll still be a high vibration surface. I'll be back for more when the time is right.

Very good rolling tires especially with downhill. Able to tolerate good gravel/road conditions.

These tires are undoubtedly, the best overall value for durability and performance I have ever had.

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.

Easy to mount. Fast and responsive. 180pound rider, 700x32, 69 psi front, 71 rear, very smooth

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.

Use these tires on both my road bike and gravel bike (limited use on actual gravel roads)

I've been riding these tires for years, nothing else even comes close to their riding comfort, their durability and great looks.

Highly rated tire at a great price.

Continental tires have always been my performance tire of choice since my racing days back in the early 1980's. They continue to focus on providing the best tires for cycling enthusiasts. The GP 5000 is light, lively, responsive and resistant to punctures. Great tire if you want to get the most out of your cycling. I run Continentals on all nine of my bikes.
