ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I've been riding the GP5000 for five years love the way they roll , smooth ride and when they say puncture resistance they mean it, no flats. The CONTI'S are my go too tires ,the prices are reasonable and worth it two thumbs up!

I installed a pair of the Grand Prix 5000's for my four man team's (https://www.teamsuicideprevention.com) 930 mile Race Across The West event. This is a team time trial type event with at least one rider on the road from Oceanside, California to Durango Colorado riding day and night across the deserts and mountains on the route. Crap happens. About 200 miles into the race during one of my pulls, I ran over a strip of a wood pallet on a desert section and a 1" long staple went clear through the tire. The amazing thing about the Grand Prix is that in my haste to keep moving, I quickly put a new tube in and aired up the tire and went on to finish my pull. I went on to ride to the finish with that same tire. I think that is incredible. I did have a spare Grand Prix tire but didn't have to use even after that significant "flatting" event. We finished the race in 2d 14h 46m. I'm sticking with my Grand Prix 5000's

Continentals have always been my go-to for clincher tires. I've never had. Conti flat, ever.

They wear well, I get thousands of miles from a set.

Having praised them (which they deserve) I hate having to mount new ones onto Campagnolo wheels.

I run both the TR and non TR versions on different wheelsets.

After years of running GP4000s and thousands and thousands of miles with only 2 flats, I opted to move to the 5000s this year and forego gatorskins (also a nice tire). I am running 28mm on both the tubeless and tubed tires and they stick amazing in corners, brake better than the 4000s and have very little road noise. They met my expectations and I can happily say they feel a bit better than the 4000s they replaced.

I have also run the Enve SES tire in a 27mm. For comparisons, they SES is more 'V' shaped and falls into corners. The 5000s are more round and allow you to incrementally drop the bike into a corner more consistently. The SES is also a great tire, but the 5000s are my choice moving forward.

I think the regular 5000s are a great value. The TRs are a bit pricey for a tire, but if you need tubeless, you are stuck.

I still haven't gone tubeless for road tires and GP5000s have been my go-to tires for years. I've occasionally tried something else only to be disappointed in durability and/or cut resistance.

I've been using these tires for training and racing, and I've had excellent results in various situations - from chip to asphalt to cement, very straight or technical courses. They feel secure in the turns, and are extremely comfortable even in long rides >100mi.

Love these tires! Bike Tires Rolling Resistance names this one of the best rolling tires on the market, and I have run them since 2021 with only a couple of issues. I highly recommend both these tires and bike tires directly! P.S. The 5000s are not a 5/5 for value, but this website is by far!

GP 5000 tires are my go to tire.

Lately my purchases are 30 and 32 mm both used for road riding.

They seem to me no different in speed vs a 25mm tire. Granted nothing to prove this.

On really poor surfaces the 32mm at lower pressure allow you to hold your speed better.

I find my rear tire wears a little faster so I buy in 3s vs by the pair.

I routinely get 3,000 miles plus out of these tires and only rarely do I get any flats. I've used other tires over the years, but have not found another tire that compares to these tires.

I'm only giving this tire 4 stars because they were a bear to mount on my daughter's Mavic Cosmic wheels. Just for reference we bought the 25s. I'm not sure if the larger 28s would be any easier but I kind of doubt it. She's good at changing flats (especially for a 14 year old) on the road but if she does gets one either I'll have to come change it or she'll need help from someone fairly strong.

After struggling for a bit and almost breaking my tire spoon I ended up attempting to prestretch them by pulling as hard a I could with my feet and hands for about 10 minutes. Only then could I mount them with a tire spoon. Usually I can get other non-tubeless tires mounted by hand.

She's got about 200 miles on them so far and enjoys the ride quality and grip.

With any luck these will last the spring and summer CRIT season.

First a reminder: With wide rims the norm, conti resized the GP5k to be the width it now appears on ON THE RIM. So your GP5k in 28 is the width of your old GP4K in 25 when it's mounted. Second, there is a bit less tread there- something like .2mm. So obviously the tire is really no lighter than the 4K in the same ACTUAL size. Still, I went ahead and replaced one of my GP4ks in 25 with a 5k in 25. I've ridden it through some pretty bad debris-on-highway-shoulders so far and durability has been great. I'm impressed by anyone getting over 2000 miles out of any tire. I don't try. The 4K would always flatten (wear down) at the top of the tread well before the wear indicator got anywhere near replacement depth and that's when I have problems so I replace early. I thought I'd give up some cornering prowess with the smaller size but didn't notice that either. Race last weekend revealed this to be a fast predictable tire, just like the 4K. No complaints, I'm buying more.

I wanted to move from 25mm to 28mm tires for my road bike, so I stayed with Continentals. The ride is smoother and offers better traction in wet and dry conditions.

I had been searching for a tire that would not get punctures when I rode vaguely near some piece of detritus with an edge or a point. I had tried other highly rated tires but with no success. The Continental Grand Prix 4K & now 5K do the trick. I imagine they are heavier than some but I can live with that. They are a bit pricey, but since I have to replace them less often, I'm probably not actually spending more. I certainly get a lot fewer flats which makes riding far more fun. As long as Continental keeps up the quality, I'll keep buying them.

After doing the tubless scenario I went back to my roots a roll with clichers again. If you run 80+ psi. on your setup you won't be disappointed. Much better tread-life than most. 3,000+ miles is about my average before having to replace them. BTW, they Roll Fast Too!

Like many, I used the 4000s II for years and loved them. This newer version has less tread thickness and costs more. I bought them based on my experience with the previous model, but cannot recommend them due to changes in manufacturing and the price. There are more 700C sizes available in this model and the graphics are smaller and more appealing to me. It is still a good tire but Continental has not advanced the model technologically as much as the introduction of Black Chili compound did years ago.

Got the 25mm pair, not as light, around 260g each on my scale

mounted to 21 internal rim without tools

Measured 27mm with 85psi and tpu tubes

I think it is really faster, I broke my local bench mark 3mile climb PR by 8sec recently

Hi, I'm running these on my steel bike, I love conti's! I've used this brand for a long time, durable and roll well.always have good prices at btd . I can't really say any bad things about them, they don't last as long as Grand Prix 4000's, they are my favorite.

This is my 3rd set of tires. The first set lasted 2700 miles. The 2nd set is in process and I expect to get the same mileage. They are fast and handle well under dry or wet conditions. They are the best.

Conti is always my "go-to" tire choice and BTD prices and shopping experience keep me coming back

Great ride with lower tire pressure, more comfortable.

Plus or minus 10 lbs of pressure for gravel or road, great traction.
