ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Great tire, changed from 25 mm to 28 for a little softer ride

This tire is a great all around road bike tire that holds up very well in a variety of conditions. It has good traction and puncture protection.

After a week of riding this tire-and getting caught in the rain-I have to say I am very impressed. Not sure how Continental managed to improve on the 4000, which I've been a fan of for years, but these tires have noticeably more grip than other tires I've tried. Even while descending in the rain I was able to rail the corners with confidence. They also felt a bit faster on dry flats roads as well, but that's a subjective. I can't speak on durability or flat protection yet, but as an improved version of the 4000, I don't think either of those will be an issue.

The road feel, adhesion, wear and cornering on the 5000 is excellent, but beware if you experience a flat while out on the road. Even with the use of a variety of the latest tire "iron" devices such as those made by Crank Brothers and KoolStop, these tightly fitting tires are not an easy install or de-install.

I have been using Continental tires for quite some time - I have been riding for 32 years and using Conti's since the early 90s - and I have always been impressed with their performance. This tire is no exception. The ride quality is top notch, right up there with tubeless/tubulars. I have not used this particular tire long enough to give it a durability rating or comment on that. Easy to install and they look great.

I've ridden on these tires for years and except for picking up a jagged piece of metal which ripped the side wall after catching on the rear brake, I've not had a flat in over 30,000 miles. I'm an endurance rider, but I love hard cornering and "bombing" down-hills. These tires handle it all. The GP5000 is the ONLY tire I buy.

I've been using these since they came a few years ago. I've had great luck with very few flats and lots of miles out of them. They are light, grip well and are holding up well. Excellent all around tire.

Wanted to change to a wider tire for a better ride. The 5000 is a tough tire with excellent rolling resistance and traction.

Strong material excellent engineering technology I personally run 600 miles no flats always check my PSI most be at 120 no issues every 600 miles I replaced them not a single flat outstanding performance cero rolling resistance.

This tire is a great balance between light weight and puncture protection. I use it on my Cannondale hybrid bike, and get excellent millage also.

We got tired of air leakage with GP5000 tubeless, plus having to clean inside on a schedule. Went back to clincher GP5000 with great results. On ordinary suburban rides (i.e. not inner city or such with glass everywhere), have never gotten a flat with these. Love them.

My choice for all tarmac rides. Good grip, very easy to mount and fit to rim. I run inner tubes and never had a puncture on them.

My only gripe is that tread wears out a lot faster than the predecessor GP 4000s.

Good purchase

This is a great tire. It has great traction, really sticks to the road in curves, and is pretty resistant to flats.

Reliable, low rolling resistance and lightweight.

The best allrounder in the field, brought to a whole new performance level. Ride faster, more comfortable, and with increased puncture protection. Made to make you better.

I have been using Continental tires for years. I find them very durable and easy to install, especially the new 5000 tire.

I bought these to replace my aging tires specifically for a century in San Antonio with all the crappy Texas chip seal you can imagine and they held up great (no flats!). I bought 28mm and haven't tried putting calipers on them but my guess is they're narrow. I was able to mount them with my bare hands too, which is always a plus. Great tires, would buy again.

My experiences with the GP5000 tire has been very good. A bit pricey, and I can only get 1200-1500 miles on a set; but experience on road has been a good performer. I plan to continue I need to use this tire on my road bike

I have done miles up on miles with minimal puncture.

Always my go to road tires. Smooth on the roads here in the Pacific Northwest. Contis have been on my whelk for the past 25+ years! If it's works for you, don't change it!
