ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I have used many Contis over my near 40 yrs of racing. I have used the GP5000 clincher since they came out. However I have had so many fail I have had to stop using them. The problem is the sidewall splits radially, a short tear thru the sidewall about 1/8" long, They all look identical: not cut, but torn, convincing me there is an problem with the design of this tire. I don't recall having tire failures like this-I usually wear them out.

I was a long time gatorskin rider and switched when I transitioned to carbon rims. They deliver the grip and speed I appreciate. The downside is I have noticed a large uptick in sidewall damage. The kind where your tube may poke thru. I think it is the performance trade off vs. the gatorskins.

Generally regarded as the best road clincher out there. I have used the GP4K for years and now rolling on GP5K. Awesome grip, no issues with durability or flats. I was at my excellent shop and asked them what tire to use when I converted to tubeless. This was top of their list.

Tires are fast and have been relatively durable for me. Some small road hazard type of nicks after a few hundred miles. I've flatted only once thus far while riding (and was when I hit something relatively hard). Expected the tire to have damage but it took the hit. Tires look sharp and are def. a challenge to mount given the tight fit.

This tire rails descents. Very impressive traction, but the jury is out on wear. It seems to get a flat spot in the center sooner than the 4000s did. I also noticed more damage to the sidewalls than I have seen on the 4000 after a short trek through gravel.

I get more miles from the Continental Grand Prix 5000 that any other tire that I have used. Additionally I have been using Continental Grand Prix 5000 on my Road bike and find they are flat resistant to thorns. I recommend these tires

Great tire that is a nice ride and fast. What else do you need?

Super supple tire, I went with the 32's from a 28 and lowered the pressure a tad. These ride great! I love the feel and was really happy with the ride but kept getting flats. Then a big slash in the tire. Wish I could keep riding them but went back the the 4 season 4000's in a 32 and haven't had a flat since.

Excellent durability and smooth ride

Nice and light. Super confortable tire.

I love these light weight high performance tires

Tires were a little tight to put on. However, they feel great when riding!

Great riding tire, love the feel of these and do think they are an improvement in ride over the 4000s but I have already had several flats and a couple good slices in the tread which require a replacement after 2 months and approx 800 miles of riding. The all season 4000 offer the best puncture resistance for me and tread wear but not as smooth of ride as the new 5000

The GP5000 feels more grippy than the 4000's and slightly more durable than the Vitoria Corsa G. Tire seems to wear quickly.

Great performance and minimal flats

One of the best tires I've ridden.

Very high quality reliable product.

Overall you can trust continental 100%

I recently upgraded my Gatorskins with the GP 5000. I immediately noticed a faster ride without sacrificing puncture protection. Great tires!

I put these new 5000s on my bike. I liked the claim of increased protection from flats. 3 miles into ride 2 and I had a flat. So much for that claim from Continental.

Vittoria Corsa has been my choice tire for close to 15 years. Built a bike from ground up and was suggested trying Conti 5000. With some reservation I installed a set a year ago. Extremely pleased with the ride comfort and reliability. Im on my second set and most likely will continue to use them. Love the wear indicators.
