ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Excellent tire.

The best tire out there and a great price

I always get 8-10 k miles. I rotate front to back as wear indicates.

I have been riding for many years. Strictly a clincher guy, and I have found this tire to be a great ride.

Very durable, comfortable, and lasts a long time. Does not cut easily.

Also, and I agree, others have said the GP4000 descends very well.

I would easily recommend this tire.

Usual conti durability with the option to get reflective sidewall. not as durable as gatorskins, though.

I tried my first pair of Continental GP 4000 tires for my Southern Trans this past September 2017. I had been a Continental Gator Skin user as those tires are very durable but ride quite stiff and are not the easiest tire to get off your rims especially if your hands are cold.

I also reduced the air pressure to 90 F and 90 R based on advice from Lon Haldeman, Pac Tour Master.

So with the GP4000 at this TP the ride was very smooth, didn't feel any softness when climbing, and road surface absorption was excellent. Rode 1500 miles over 14 ride days and no flats.

This is a great tire for dual use as a racer and every day tire. Still the King of rolling resistance in my view.

Low rolling resistance, great race tire.

The GP 4K SII's are benchmark tires for many reasons they're fast, supple, grippy, puncture resistant. I've trained and raced on these for several years in the wet, dry, cold, heat, and they never disappoint. Not the kings of wear resistance but, considering how well they perform, it's worth the trade-off. Sorry...you can't have it all... at least for now. Oh, and they're definitely not the cheapest. That said, you're worth it and BTD typically has great pricing on GP SII's. If you're like me and consider the fact that your tires are the only meaningful connection between you and the road, and you'd like to keep it that way, they're worth it and deserve a hard look if you want a great all-around tire.

You really need to purchase a pair of these beauties and ride them to appreciate them. I use these for all rides as they are fast and they are also dependable. Tread life out performs all other tires that I have tried.

Solid tire, all I use.

Love these tires. Low rolling resistance. Good handling feel. So far (knock on wood) reliable - have about 1,000 miles on them. No punctures. No damage. Fast. Efficient. Worth the price.

For my racing (mostly long distance triathlon) I really like these tires because

-they're resistant to road hazards

-they're light weight

-they're comfortable to ride

-they're quick to change if needed

I have used Cintinental tire for ever and the 4000 S II are the best clinchers on the market. Plus biketiresdirect makes them very affordable.

this is the one to get. best overall performance tire

A little hard to mount.

Excellent handling feel

Low rolling resistance

Love these tires

i have been using the GP4000S and SII for a number of years. I consistently get over 10K miles on a tire (new tire goes on front and when back wears out front goes to back and new tire on front). Tires ride great on varied asphalt surfaces.

Continental tyres are by far the best I have ridden on. This is an easy assessment - I have been riding for 50 years and have ridden over 500,000 miles...many miles on different tyre makes. No contest Continental Grand Prix 4000 (and 'All Season') have out performed all of the others. I ride on them, I race on them - it's proven to be the 'failsafe' choice for me. It's highly unlikely I will change.

is very responsive tire.

rarely flat with it, resistant to punctures.

Has good road feel and not slippery in wet conditions.
