ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

This is my go to road tire, 28mm for my road bike and 30mm for my gravel bike when it's not on gravel tires. The tire handles well, rides well, and can last over 2000 miles. Online prices are reasonable.

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 !!

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.

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.

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 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.

Got this when it was on sale, otherwise I would rate it 4 stars because they are a pricey tire, but you get what you pay for and this is all around a great tire.

I switched to the Grand Prix 5000 tires when Conti stopped making the 4000 tire. I ride 25mm width.

LIFE OF THE TIRE I'm a large cyclist (6'5 & 210lbs), so, I tend to wear out rear tires a lot faster than front tires. I've lost track of how many miles I have on the front tire, probably in excess of 5,000. It still has plenty of wear left on it. The rear tire, as you might expect, is much newer. I'm happy to get 2,000 miles from the rear tire. Again, my size and the occasional road hazard, contributes to its short life.

PERFORMANCE & HANDLING Comfort, even at 100-110psi, is excellent. I don't bomb descents or fly through tire corners like I used to (I'm 50 w a wife and kids), but, on those occasions when I do push the limits of these tires, I am not disappointed. Grip is excellent, even in wet conditions.

PRICE Expensive. I gave 4 stars as I usually wait for BTD to have a sale (usually in the sub$$$ range) and then I buy 3 or 4. Or, use BTD's price match. Are they a steal at $40? Maybe.

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

I ride about 40 to 50 miles per week, I'm clearly not a hardened workout enthusiast but then I'm 65. I have ridden on multiple tire brands for over 45 plus years of riding and I have to say I'm very, very impressed with these Continental Grand Prix 5000 Road Tires. I have not had a flat yet and I have been riding on them for 18 months through rough roads, dry and wet conditions and they have performed superbly. I would highly recommend this tire!

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.

holding up very well so far. No issues with traction yet - and a heck of a lot lighter than my Duranos that I had for a while.

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.

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.

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!

After years of riding Conti 4000's with infrequent flats, I was excited to upgrade to the 5000's. But after less than 200 miles on the 5000, what started as a small sidewall puncture turned into a 3" long tear in the sidewall, separating the bead from the sidewall and making the tire unrideable, even with a section of old tire placed beneath it. Resulted in a very long walk to a nearby bike shop. Happened on a pretty clean country road, probably caused by a goathead, with the puncture hissing slightly for several revolutions before failing catastrophically before I could come to a stop. A failure like this should never happen with a top of the line $60 tire. Very disappointed.

Just mounted them up on my bike. Been riding the 4000 series for the last two years. The firs thing I noticed is the tire, 28mm version, is skinnier than the previous versions sidewall size. With a calipers, I've measure the 4000 series 28-622 tires at 32mm, and the newer 5000 series is indeed what the sidewall says, 28mm. Time will tell if I get the same mileage, great wear, by the way, as what I used to get, and performance. Stay tuned for updatews!
