ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Quick and light. After approximately 300 miles of road riding, the tire developed a hole in the sidewall and the tube began bubbling out, ruining the tire. The Continental GP 5000 is undoubtedly a fast tire. However, I can't recommend them because of this durability issue.

I think the size 28mm tire is about the perfect size for the road after many years of riding a size 23mm. It also allows you to go a few more places than a thinner tire. I got the transparent version which looks retro and the performance is that they feel fast, sturdy and perfect for the chip and seal roads where I ride. I would recommend to anyone who wants a fast, durable, stable tire.

Great product at the perfect price!

The tire rim is very rigid and as a result, it is hard to break the bead. This becomes a challenge when you have a flat on the road. I am told that Continental are changing to a 2 ply as they have had a lot of complaints.

I also had a split in the tire wall after 500 KMs (300 miles) of riding. Not sure if that was a road hazard or a tire issue.

I've always loved Continental tires for my bike. They are great tires and last a long time. When I decided to build my new bike I wanted to really make it "pop" so I decided to put GP5000 tan walls on it and they look incredible!!! The S-Works Tarmac SL7 is an incredible bike and these tires take it to the next level.

Smooth ride, great handling. I get over 4000 miles on them but I rotate at 2k to even out the wear. A very high quality tire but a little on the expensive side. However, well worth the price. I use the 700x32 because it has better ride & handling.

Bought these specifically for RTR. 6 days of biking is all conditions ( except snow). Zero issues, no flats. Initial install on Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35 was very easy. Saw lots of these tires on other bikes and all 3 in our groupused these. Flawless performance 475 miles in 6 days and 29,000+ feet of climbing.

Always ridden Continental GP5009 tires and they still continue to deliver a solid product. I get maybe one or two punctures a year. Just got the 700x28, black and cream and look great. Roll fast and smooth.

Love the tires as they are fast and high quality for the money.

I put these tires on in the summer and put 3-4000 miles on them before switching

to the 4 season tires for the Winter.

The tire itself is amazing and one of the lowest rolling resistance tires out there. Have pretty much switched over exclusively to this. The performance is phenomenal and looks good too. Love the cream color. Biketiresdirect is also amazing. Customer service has always been stellar and shipping is always fast.

This is the tire that you are fancy, if you just want to ride around or even race! Usually racing tires won't last, due to their compound rubber technology. But this handles really well + cornering with tires is really safe, they grip so well that you don't even worry about .

These have been my go to tires for a while now. Never had a flat with them and they feel really slick and fast. Putting them on is a bit of a hassle but with decent tire levers its not a big deal.

I went back to these tires after trying multiple other brands and found these just last longer and are significantly better for a puncture protection. They typically ride on gravel roads and show no scarring after hundreds of miles.

Known as the best road tire and that's been my experience. Smooth and fast rolling. Great bike upgrade!

These tires r recommended as good tires but are nearly impossible to get on the rim. They are just way to tight, if I ever get a flat there won't be any changing along side the road cause I won't have the strength

I have used Contis for years and have made the transition to their tubeless. During the pandemic I tried another brand (supply chain) and they didn't have the same road feel, and durability was also less. I have continental tires on all of my bikes

The Conti GP5K is probably today's go-to standard for a basic all around tire. I don't race, so I can't comment on it's performance under those conditions. But for the average rider, these tires roll very smoothly, are relatively grippy, and have pretty long tread life. I have them on all my bikes.

Bought this tyres to replace sworks turbo tyres, Alot forgiving and bullet proof from pinch flats, Bike tires direct is very prompt and had it shipped same day, Customer service was very helpful and on top my issue when they sent me a defective tyres, after having assessed the situation, they sent me a new tyre right away! thank you!

This is used on my performance titanium bike. Very good durability. Use then on paved backroads and sometimes crushed stone trails common as rec trails in WI.

A little pricey, but probably still a good value considering tire life.

Amazing performance and comfort.
