ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

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.

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.

For me, the most important thing in a tire is grip. This tire really holds on the high speed downhill corners. It is also very compliant on the road. I normally get about four thousand miles on these tires. The continental 5000 tire has fit all of my needs.

Love theses tires. I especially like how easy they are able to mount and unmount on the Roval CLXll wheels. I like knowing that I can service the tire anywhere when I'm out the road. Definitely a must if you don't want to deal with tub-less and the mess that they make when you get a gauge on the tire.

This is the best and fastest way to improve your bike. These tires are a little hard to install, but with a little

After trying multiple tires (I ride about 18,000 miles/year), I've settled on the Conti GP5000 for its smooth ride, low rolling resistance and relatively good puncture proof tires. It's a bit pricier, but worth it overall given that I get about 6000 miles out of each tire. They're a bit difficult to put on, but fortunately I've not had to take them off regularly for any reason (especially punctures). They're grippy and you feel confident after a good bit of usage.

My wife and I got new road bikes in 2019, this tire is what our bike builder installed on our custom rims. For the last 6 years we've been using the GP 5000, with no complaints. We did change from 28mm to 32mm for a smoother ride...did not notice any loss of speed or drag.

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires provide a smooth and comfortable ride due to their low rolling resistance and aerodynamic design. After riding 2,000 miles without a puncture, I was very impressed by their puncture resistance. These tires will be my first choice for road tires in the future.

I recently bought 4 Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires with 6 Pirelli P Zero TPU tubes and I wish I made the switch sooner. Put them on your bike - I'm sure you'll be impressed.

I've been riding since the 1970s and got into cycle racing in 2005 in the Salt Lake City area. (We left Utah because of the shutdowns, even though I love riding up the mountains)

These tires have excellent grip (much more than other tires I've run) and the TPU tubes make riding on the rough roads in the Safford Arizona area noticeably more comfortable.

I think this is the single best performance upgrade I've made in 20 years!

I've been using Continental Grand Prix tires for decades, and they continue to impress. The performance and road feel are exceptional, striking a perfect balance between speed and comfort. For lightweight tires, they are surprisingly durable, handling a variety of conditions with ease. On most of my rims (Hunt, Mavic), mounting and dismounting is not too difficult, which is always a bonus. These tires have long been my go-to choice, and I run them on all my road bikes. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their ride.

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).

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.

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.

Quality is excellent and after a few hundred miles, no flats! I would definitely purchase this tire again.

There are faster tires out there but this one has better grip and comfort. I cannot atest to the puncture protection apart from the fact that i have not punctured (no jynx) in the last 3 years. i average 6k miles a year and i wear down 2 rear and 1 front tires.

I am a Conti fan, having settled in on the Grand Prix 4 Season tire as my go for many years, after trying several different brands. I got a new road bike a year ago, and thought I wold give the 5000's a try when the OEM tires gave way. Those were Specialized Turbo Pro's, and based on my previous experience with Specs, I thought they would be shot after 500 miles. In fact, I got 3150 out of the rear, and 4000 on the front!

Once I was fully on the 5000's I noticed 2 things right away - they are indeed smooth, fast, and grippy, but the sizing is a little questionable. I moved from being a 700x23 @120psi diehard, to 25's, and with the new bike, 28's running 75 psi F, 85 psi R. (I am 6'2", 180 lbs). If you're an old diehard skinny tire rider, do yourself a favor and try something different - easily just as fast, and waaaay more comfortable. When I mounted the 5000's it was immediately clear that although labelled 28's they were no bigger than 25's. So if you're looking for bigger tires, I would suggest going all the way to 32's - that's what I plan to do if these last long enough to be worth repeating.

The rear tire has 900+ miles on it now, and is showing considerable wear. Lots of cuts and nicks, with one fairly small cut having nicked a cord of the casing. By contrast, the Spec's had many more and deeper cuts, without a single injury to the casing. In fact on removal I saw that the sidewall had been cut along the radial line about 1" all the way to the casing, yet the tire performed flawlessly!

A word about rubber- these 5000's new out of box had noticeably less rubber on the wear surface than my 4000 mile worn Spec did!

If I can get 2000 miles flat free, I will consider another pair. The Specs went their entire life flat free, which is amazing. Plus they were a dream to ride.

Some reviewers commented on sidewall weakness. So far, no problems. Also, others say tires difficult to mount, but mine went on pretty easily, FYI. Lastly, I believe these are an improvement over the 4000's, as my experience with those was that they flatted like crazy.

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.

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.

Great rolling tire with good puncture resistance. I rode them from Frankfurt to Vienna over all sorts of terrain including gravel with no punctures or other issues.

Very easy to get on, tough to get off sometimes. Have used Grand Prix Tires for over a decade. They are outstanding. Running tubes, no issues.
