ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I wanted to move from 25mm to 28mm tires for my road bike, so I stayed with Continentals. The ride is smoother and offers better traction in wet and dry conditions.

I have no complaints about the tires. I think the new version of GP5000 is very easy to install, and the durability is also very good. I can ride through the potholes on the road with confidence.

I ride several thousand miles a year and this tires has been very reliable. I tend to get more flats, and even side wall punctures when using other tires, so this is the only tire I will use now.

Conti is always my "go-to" tire choice and BTD prices and shopping experience keep me coming back

Great ride with lower tire pressure, more comfortable.

Plus or minus 10 lbs of pressure for gravel or road, great traction.

Replaced my old tires in October with $130 with i of conti. It's March now, and after 6 flats the 7th destroyed my front tire and the rear tire picked up the 7th (2nd in one week!) on my way home from work. Maybe these are good on like a track or something but Philadelphia streets just mashed then up. Staying away from continental from now on.

Very satisfied with the GP 5000. This is to replace the old one, which has provided excellent service and life. Highly recommended if you're looking for an everyday high quality tire!

This tire has performed like a champ and is my go-to set of skins. Instills confidence on the straightaways and in the corners.

I have ridden these as well as many other road tires. These are unequivocally the best. I use the 25 c size and have found they are are durable and give a solid ride. The wear indicators I also appreciate.

Good grip, good durability. First set of these were still going strong past 5000 miles.

Conti was my only bike tire for the last 25 years. WAS. The 5000 GP x 28mm sidewall is too stiff and makes the ride brutal. Inflation was 85/90 and the ride is stiff and unforgiving. 100k rides are a chore with them. The 5000 GP's are not training tires, unless you are training your spinal column for ruptures. They seem to wear a bit faster than the 4000's. Been riding Specialized S-Works Turbo Pro with zero problems. I have almost 9,000 miles on them and no flats. They corner pretty good too although I don't do corners at 30+ mph as in the past. Good on sand, gravel, and water.

For some time I had been using Specialized Armadillos because they're thick & tough. BUT been using grand prix for a couple of seasons, and they are lasting just as long and are MUCH lighter. This was a screamin' deal too! Yay. Grip is stable on descents (major mountain riding)

The Continental GP5000 tires have excellent grip and wear incredibly well. Have done numerous successful RAGBRAI'S with these tires and no issues what so ever. The best price I've found for these great tires is right here at Bike Tires Direct!!!

All my bikes have Continental tires and my new Specialized Allez Sprint Comp is no exception. Ordered these tires in 700x28 to give me a little more width than the factory 700x25 and it was the best thing I could have done. Smooth rolling with no resistance. I don't ride when the roads are wet and I don't think these would excel in wet conditions but they are very grip when it's dry out. The transparent sidewall matches my Oasis color bike. Would order these again in a heartbeat as I loved them more than the grand sport.

I have always ridden Continental tires over the past 5 years. These are great road tires and are extremely durable. They are a little difficult to get on but since they do not have a bad failure rate I use them religiously.

With this tire often being available at a sale price, I buy a few at a time when possible. I've been using the GP 5000 for years and can only remember two punctures. They hold up well to wear and tear and grip the road in corners. I believe their weight also compares well to other, similar models.

This is a great tire for club rides. Fast rolling and puncture resistant. I get a full season of over 3000 miles (4800km) on a pair of 28 with latex tubes. I had one puncture each of the last 3 seasons.

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.
