ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I like the 4000 S II 700C tires well enough that they're the only ones I buy. I bought two on sale at half price to keep in reserve for when the others wear out-eventually. The price was too good to pass up on tires I prefer.

This is my go-to tire. It's a fast tire and they feel stable when I'm screaming down a descent. I've tried other tires that are more puncture resistance but I find that the Conti 4000S tires are faster. I ride in the SF Bay Area where the roads (and bike lanes) are in terrible condition with a lot of debris. I've had a run of bad luck lately with this tire though. In the past 2 months, I experienced 12 flats, mostly from broken glass and one flat from a goathead.

Our rough roads have eaten every tire I have tried (Michelin, Panaracer, including previous Continentals and a list of others). These were on sale and decided to give them a try, they are holding up better than expected with the use of kevlar liners and puncture resistant tubes-I spend time riding not repairing. I have been very impressed with the road feel of these tires and after a long ride I usually have slight cuts in the outer tire casing and so far no cuts.

This tire doesn't disappoint. It offers a perfect balance of durability but is still light enough for quick training. It could even be a solid tire for race days.

I've ridden several tires and these are the best i've used. They are resistant to punctures and last a really long time. Highly recommend.

These are the tires I have been using for years and I love them! I used another brand before that I was happy with, but they were a pain in the a$$ to change, especially while out on a ride. The Conti's are great tires. They are fairly puncture resistant, the last a pretty long time (I have actually gotten several thousand miles on a set), and they are easy to take off in case of a flat.

I used to switch to lighter tires for a long ride or race. After several flats in crucial rides, I have decided it is smarter to just stick with my tried and true GP 4000S tires, they are good for 2,500 miles without a flat.

I have these tires on both my touring bike and my road bike. They are tough tires, I find numerous cuts in the tire from road debris but I rarely get flats. I use the 25mm tires and they give a comfortable and fast ride.

These tire perform well but if you are an urban rider, they surely are not worth the trouble of repairing repeated punctures.

Great grip, low rolling resistance, supple ride, good puncture resistance and thread wear.

I put over 3,000 miles on the last Continental Grand Prix 4000S. It is easy to install and the wear indicators provide an idea of how much tread is left on the tire.

I've been on Continentals Grand Prix since 1995. There is no better tire for the combination of performance and puncture resistance. Love them. Racing or training, these get well over a season of miles on them (5000).

I ride long distance and large amount of climbing.

I really like the quality of these tires, tried them on the recommendation of a fellow cyclist. I have over 3700 miles and no flats.

The Continental GP 4000 S II 700C Road Tire is the best road tire available. It has superb grip, rolling resistance, and puncture resistance. It is also very light. It does everything great and does not sacrifice one attribute (grip, weight, etc.) for another.

As per usual one of the best tires for training or racing lots of grip comfy ride long lasting

Road Cycling, best tire ever used.

I purchased these tires ignoring the flat tire reviews over the superior performance reviews. No doubt, these are fast tires but with a HIGH cost - FLAT TIRES! 200 miles 4 flats. I inserted liners - still flat tires. I ride on chip seal roads - never had a problem until now. Going back to Gatorskins!

I ride 250 - 300km a week on roads. I spent more time repairing flats than I did riding. Took the tires off after approx. 2 months of use. I was getting flats weekly (sometimes daily). Only once did I find a reason for the puncture (staple). I replaced them with Gatorskins and haven't had an issue with around 2000 km. on them.

I needed new tires and went the Gatorskin route bec I did not want to worry about flats. They were fine but I could tell how much slower I was. I am training for Ironman NC. So I had long 100 mile plus rides where I was just slow. I had a friend tell me about these tires and I saw they were on sale so I bought them on this site on deal. Best decision I ever made. They are fast! Same route-40 miles, same weather conditions, same time of day and I was 2 mph faster on these tires. Love these tires.
