ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Conty's are my go to tire. Just a great tire gif training and racing.

Great tire. Sidewalls only weak point and latest version is better. I use these year around.

I've taken 2 pretty good with this tire and I think they're really good. I will send more comments about them soon.

I've been riding on Continental GP 5000 for five years. They are fast, durable, grippy in the turns and a great value for the price. The only issue I've had is getting them on the wheel. They take quite a bit of wrestling to get on.

Bought this tire to replace tire which came with endurance bike. Great all around tire. bike tire direct was the only site which carried 700x30 size. Was tough to put on, but tyre glider was very helpful

I purchased the Conti 5000 to meet my simple needs: durability and puncture resistant

I have used Conti 4000 and now the 5000 for over 10 years. Between the Vittoria, Schwalbe and Panaracer brands, the Contis meet my minimal needs. All other performance 'gains' are a bonus. Highly recommend!

These tires I use on my tri-bike and have for years...excellent overall for handling and wear.

BTD rocked it with this deal

I am a daily fitness rider who rides at least 30 miles each morning. This is my second set of Continental Grand prix 5000's and I have been very happy with them. They are resistant to flats, corner well and are very dependable, lasting around 5000 miles even through a Boston winter. Bought them on sale for a good price and expect for them to last me the rest of this year and into next year as well.

Best road tire I've found (on good pavement) I use them year round. Only downside is some vulnerability to sidewall cuts but I haven't had that problem with the latest generation. Watch for sales.

Great tires, puncture resistant is on point, great price with Bike Tires Direct . So far over 1500 miles on the pair I bought no flats ??I will be purchasing another set, Continental is the way to go??

These are the only tires I ride, a bit pricey but worth it. Great road feel and low rolling resistance and puncture resistant. They grip well in the wet as well, I never have to think about my tires once I put these on my bike.

Continental 4000,s 5000s, Black Chili compound are my go to tires. I average 2,300 t0 3,000 miles a season, which is somewhat short in Maine.

Avid road cyclist, loved the old continental 4000, these new continental 5000 are horrible. The wear is ridicules, 1k miles an they are significant wear on tread. All kinds of cuts an side wall shows seperation an thinness. They do ride better an I like the low profile. But not worth the over all wear factor. The 4000 were great last thousands of miles with little or no abrasions. Bring back the 4000 thks.

Love these tires! I have been using Continental Grand Prix ever since the 4000S model.Long life, puncture resistance and wear indicators on the tread make it easy to know when to replace them.Even after that, I put them on my trainer for many more miles.

I started using Conti 5000s two years ago because of their claims over the Conti 4000s which I was using, especially flat protection. The first day I cut down the sidewall on glass that would have cut anything. Ok, i bought another one to really try these out. Well, 3000 miles later ( on two bikes) they have lived up to all their claims. One complete year with no flats. Subjectively I do believe the ride is slightly better than the 4000s ( not as good as the Vittorias, but they are a poor choice for flat protection here in Las Vegas with lots of broken glass and lots of shredded tire filaments) and they are definitely lighter. I'm using the regular tire and not the tubeless and couldn't be happier!

I own these in both 28c and 32c. I run them with tubes and have about 300 miles on them. I ride them both on road and gravel paths and so far no flats. Low rolling resistance and hi comfort. I run the 32's on my fixed gear at 85psi and the 28's at 100psi. I'm larger at 235 and have no issues with either size though I prefer the 32's.

I have a few reviews of Gatorskins, which I like alot, on BTD as well. While these ride better, I don't have the level of trust as far as puncture protection goes with these as I do with Gatorskins. At least not yet. Time will tell, though so far these are looking good.

I changed from a set of Bontrager tires and immediately noticed a big difference in rolling resistance and speed. For the first 3 months I had these they performed flawlessly and seemed to be durable and fast rolling. My only complaint was they are not the most subtle tire in regards to taking out the road vibrations. I ride an aluminum bike so I don't have all the luxury that a full carbon bike has so tires make a big difference. I was really happy until one day at about 500 miles I had a major blowout. I inspected the road and never found anything that could have caused the sidewall cut and I did not hit any holes. Was it the tire or a slight cut from another day out? I don't know but i was unable to repair it. At this point I'll say it's just a case of bad luck. I decided to give another brand and a bigger tire size a try. Will I come back to the Conti's? Perhaps, I'm not sure at the moment and I want to compare how a 36 performs compared to the 32 Continental.

This was the original tire on my bike, and I had something like three flats in the first week of riding. Thinking it could be a factory issue, I bought a new set, same brand/model. Coincidentally, they did somewhat better off the shelf, but still highly prone to flats. They are crazy fast tires, but the downside of that is that the rubber wears super fast (pretty worn after only 650 km), and is soft enough that just about anything goes through. If you can ride near enough to your house that someone can pick you up, or cary lots of tube and tire patch kits, go for it. The inconvenience was such that I just decided switched to Continental's GP 4-Season tire. The rubber on that one is harder and they are marginally slower, but not overly so. I kept the GP5000 in case I race. I had better flat results from Michelin Pro4 Service Course, and they were faster than Conti's GP 4-Season, and much more puncture resistant and longer wearing than Conti's GP 5000. Even on a commuter bike! May end up going back to them over the Contis. (except they are not manufactured in 28 mm, which I need for my rear wheel), or Michelin's Power Road TS, which I have yet to try.

I replaced some training tires on my old road bike with the GP5000 in 700x28c size and could notice an immediate improvement in ride quality, cornering and speed. My average speed on matched rides per Strava jumped 1-2 mph with the GP5000. Ok, maybe I'm just getting a little fitter or maybe the weather conditions are making a difference, but I put a second set in 700x25c on my TT bike yesterday. On a matched 22 mile ride from 2 days earlier that had much nicer weather (20 deg warmer and less wind) I was 0.5 mph faster with the GP5000 compared to the Spec. Mondo Pro in 700x21c. Plus I was able to crack into a leader board on a segment that was dominated by a club rider peloton and had another PR even with the brutal 15mph cross wind. Yes, they are hard to get on and off the rim. It requires tire levers and I would hate to be fixing a flat on the side of the road. But 500+ miles on the first set and no problems so far. I have swapped the tires from my road bike to a hybrid and back, so I'm even getting used to tight fit on the rims. My tire of choice now!
