ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I bought a pair of 5000's this spring for the summer season. I've ridden Gatorskins and Four Seasons exclusively for the past few years. I was looking forward to the new rubber after reading the early reviews. As advertised, I found the roll was impressively better. Unfortunately, as my miles increased so did the problems. I weigh about 205 pounds, bigger than the "classic" cyclist to be sure. My riding is road both in the city and on less traveled rural roads. Still, after about 1000 miles or so the rear tire was missing a few chunks of rubber and was decidedly worn. I replaced it hoping for better luck. Bottom line, flats have increased on both the newer rear tire and now the front. This is my experience only but I hope the next series of 5000's wear better and are more flat resistant.

Continentals are the only road bike tires I have used for the last decade. These Gran Prix 5000 tires strike a nice balance between low weight and puncture resistance. They always fit well on the rim; you simply can't go wrong with these.

I've been using these tires for years. Best tires and Biketiresdirect has the best price.

Been using the various generation of Grand Prix. Conti keeps improving with each model. Yes, prices to match but these go on sale occasionally. Only downside is its difficulty to mount.

5000's are my full time tire of choice. Reasonably flat resistant, long wearing.

Cons? Fairly tight fitting, not the easiest to mount or remove.

Got these tires on sale. Even when they aren't on sale you can't go wrong with gp5000's

Bought these as an upgrade tire with less weight on my new set of carbon wheels. No flats. Grips well on corners.

On my "definitely buy again" list when needed!

Cycling on bad New Hampshire roads. Love the Vittoria Corsa Next 2.0 also, but they just don't last like these.

32mm on front and back of Giant Defy. A few tires I've tried are close, but none are better!

Have used this and the previous versions for over 10-15 years at least - roughly 35k miles. Average about 1 flat in 10k miles. I do rotate the tires when about 1/2 worn. Ridden in all kinds of weather- excellent grip and reasonable wear- usually around 5000 miles. As a heavier rider 220 pounds- very pleased

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires are great all around road bike tires. They are lightweight and highly puncture resistant. They roll nicely with very low rolling resistance. A very comfortable ride for a very reasonable price. You get what you pay for.

I got them on a the deal of the day so price was better than normal. I have been running these along with Schwalbe pro ones and I can't really tell any difference between them so I would say whichever is cheaper is what I will get when these or the schwalbes wear out. I do a lot of longer ie 70-100 mile rides at 19-20mph and they feel fine.

This is my first season trying the new GP 5000s as a summer tire and I'm very happy with the upgrade. The 25mm size measures around 25.6 at pressure which is great for fitting into a tight frame, and I got a little over 1,100 miles before a sidewall cut required a change. Other than that, these are great performers with improved puncture resistance over the GP 4000s -- no flats despite hitting a few unexpected glass patches in the road.

I've had three pairs of these. Each one last 4-5,000 miles. Arizona roads.

Installed 700C x 32 for smooth road riding on a gravel bike, using lightweight TPU tubes. Night and day difference vs. stock 40 mm gravel tires. Unless you are really riding gravel, these lightweights are a pleasure, but they also still handle the wet well.

Minimal wear. 3500 miles as of now and still going strong.

Fast. Comfortable. Puncture resistant.

First let me say this tire rides real well, good grip, very stable in the corners. It looked narrower than the 28mm it claims and it is by a 1.5 mm, which is odd because the 25mm version my second bike is wider by ~1mm. Go figure. I have had 2 flats , one about 25 feet from my garage where I picked up was was likely a piece of steel belt wire that sheds off off cars that have let their tires go too long. No idea what the second one was but it cut through the tire about 3/8 inch gash. The tire rides well enough that I bought the same as a replacement but my Conti 4000's provided me with much better flat protection. I'm running the 5000's on two of my bikes and the 4000's still on the third bike. Nice performing tire but always a bit worrisome for me if the road looks trashy.

Just want to also say the BikeTiresDirect is my go to place to buy tires, tubes and occasionally tools. Great company!

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
