ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Light, supple, grippy, surprisingly durable, easy to mount. Replaced the stock tires with these and increased my average speed by a bit more than 1 MPH. Expected these to be a bit tight, but they mounted easily without tools, and the bead seats firm. I had my first flat after 3,000 miles. On-the-road repair was fastest ever. Single lever was all I needed. Tread-wear indicator is a nice feature. Ordered another set on sale to have in reserve. Good-looking, too! Highly recommended.

Just a well made tire that holds up well. Switch brands when I went to 25mm greatest decision I made. I feel very confident when taking high speed turns and they hold up great again road hazards. If you want puncture resistance get a MTB tires if not these hold up great!

Honestly, they need to bring back the 4000s. A group of three of us, ranging from 165 lbs to 190 lbs to 240 lbs have all ridden the 25s and the 28s. They wear out extremely fast, with pieces seemingly falling off some of them. They puncture more than any tires we've ever used. I'm a big Continental fan, I love the 4 Seasons tires and the 4000s were great. These, to me, are a pure, one day race tire. For average riding or training, they are terrible. One tire lasted about 200 miles before blowing out a sidewall - with no impact. Another hit its wear indicator at around 5 or 600 miles.

Compared to the 4000s, these seem to wear quicker. I don't have exact numbers but I think I got less than 1000 miles out of them before they started showing significant signs of wear. I probably could have stretched it out a few extra miles but I started flatting. Other than that, they are a great tire.

I have previously used Michelin Pro 4 & Gatorskins and these GP 5000 blow them out of the water. I ride typically rough country roads with some road debris and gravel. My other tires used I would end up with small cuts after a few rides that would eventually lead to flats. These GP 5000 have provided an extremely tough exterior while producing a supple ride. They corner well and hold their speed. I have them mounted on a Canyon Aeroad with Reynolds Strike Carbon Wheels.

I have been using the Continental Grand Prix 4000 for the past eight years. One of my favorite rides is the Tour of the California Alps (aka Death Ride), a ride in the Sierra Nevada mountains, over five mountain peaks at elevation for 129 miles. The GP 4000 has had excellent traction, and at high descent speeds holds the road well. Importantly, I have gotten fewer flats than I was with prior tires. Now, Continental has come out with the Grand Prix 5000the next generation. Taking their rubber grip technology they call black chili to the next level, so far my experience with the GP 5000 is at least as good as my years of experience with their previous generation. While I dont have the long term experience, my first 200 miles have been without incident and with great traction.

This is a very fast rolling tire. I set it up with Vittoria latex tubes and it feels as fast as any tubeless tire I've ever run.

I use the Grand Prix 5000 as a road tire, I normally get 5000-6000 miles a year from a set of tires.

Tire is high preforming as stated and pretty durable.

The gp5000 are great tires and look great. I've been running 28's until my last order and I got the 30's. They ride great.

With or without tubes these are faster and I'm a long time GP4000 user. Beware their sizing has changed so the tires are actually as wide as the label. In other words GP4000 28's are the same size as GP5000 32's. This goes for the entire line. By one size larger to get same size as 4000's

The tan-yellow sidewalls look great on my black bike. Performance is typical for GP5000 - which is to say good to great.

This tire has legendary status for a reason. Checks a lot of boxes: durability, feel, rolling resistance. Been running this model and its ancestors a long time, have tried others, but always come back to this one.

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 is an excellent road tire.

Comfortable, smooth ride, light weight, wears well.

I am on my second pair, from last year, and I ride a lot. Best tire.

I don't think you can go wrong with this leader in the clincher category !

Buy them !!

I have ridden Continental for years, maybe decades now. The technology keeps getting better. I ride mostly road and road conditions can be messy. 5000 is even better. I ride 25mm and can go through most road debris that gets pushed onto the road shoulders. I have confidence in these tires.

Good tire. A little better than the 4000. Handles good and seems to roll easier. Only complaint, they seem to cut easier than the 4000. Mileage seems about the same. 2 rear tires to 1 front. On my second set.

This tire very rugged and has superior puncture resistance. It grips the road very well to give an unparalleled feel when riding in practically any outdoor conditions. Regardless of your preference for tubeless or tubes performance is never lacking.

After experiencing poor durablity performance with the prior GP 4000 tire (lots of cuts and too many punctures) I started leaving my GP Four Seasons on all year. I have recently tried the new GP 5000s and so far they are a significant improvement. Rolling resistance and speed are obviously better over the Four Seasons, but durability also seems to be improved. After a couple hundred miles, no cuts or punctures. Cornering grip is stellar and stepping up to the 25mm has improved overall ride comfort. They measure 26.3 at 105 PSI, which just barely fits in my narrow Ridley Noah ISP frame, but the ride quality over 23mm versions of the GP 4000 and Four Seasons is apparent.

I recently switched to the Continental Grand Prix 5000 and I'm very happy with my purchase. I've ridden about 800 KM with these tires and the grip is excellent and has performed well in the rain. I live in a city where wet weather can come unexpectedly and it's reassuring to know that these tires can perform well in wet conditions.

Simply the best- no better tire, period.

I find two things annoying about these tires compared to the older GP4000s. First, there isn't much rubber there to start with, which helps explain the low rolling resistance. But I wonder how long they will last. Second, the tires are narrower than the older GP4000s. This is to compensate for the wider rims in use today. But I liked the width of the GP4000 700x25s. The new GP5000 700x25s are too narrow, but the 700x28s are two wide.
