ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 is a great all around tire. It offers nice grip on corners, a smooth ride and long mileage. I have ridden on these tires for 5,000 kilometers (~3,000 miles) and they are still rideable. I have ridden them on the road and gravel in Italy, Australia and the United States and have never been disappointed by the way they perform.

I use these tires on my #1 bike. Previously used Grand Prix 4 Seasons.

That's where I learned the Vectran belt worked at preventing flats.

When the Continental Grand Prix 5000 got the Vectran belt I switched to them,

They work well for me.

For a road tire the conti 5000 is in the top tier. Low rolling resistance, comfort, durability and puncture resistant. The only drawback is the price. Bottom line: grab them when they're on sale.

Simply the best- no better tire, period.

The 4000 and 5000 series tires are in my opinion the best tires that very seldom experience a flat since my old Wobler glue ups from the 80's

I bought these 28mm tires for the rough roads in Marin County, CA. Excellent grip and forgiving over cracks, ruts and potholes, and better than my previous 23 mm Contis for the roads here. Highly recommend.

Only tire used for my 6,000-7,000 miles/yr.

These tires seem to hold up just as well as gator skins that friends use. Good gripping, and easy to change tubes.

This is a grippy, light and puncture resistant tire

Grippy without feeling sticky. This tire is dependable. Pricing has skyrocketed lately so 5 stars when on sale.

This tire stands up to the rigors of high volume riding.

My preference over Vittoria. Truly a great combination of puncture resistance and low resistance.

A GP5000s 28mm is a bit smaller in height and width than a 25mm GP4000s, as measured installed on a Shimano RS500 alloy wheelset. I assume the 28mm would measure wider, on a wider rim. Old 25mm GP4000s tires just barely cleared my brake bridge, but the new 28mm tires have about 2 more mm of vertical clearance.

New tires get a bit larger after a few days of being installed and under pressure. The GP5000s 25mm tires are even smaller still yet. I use 95 psi in the 25mm GP4000s and 95 psi in the 28mm GP5000s tires, both ride the same near as I can tell.

I just finished putting 150 miles on these tires. The installed well, look great and most importantly they feel good. I like these tires. I will buy them again.

Group road riding. The tires are durable and I get between 4 and 5 thousand Kms on these tires.

Conty's are my go to tire. Just a great tire gif training and racing.

I've taken 2 pretty good with this tire and I think they're really good. I will send more comments about them soon.

Great tire. Sidewalls only weak point and latest version is better. I use these year around.

Great quality as always

These tires I use on my tri-bike and have for years...excellent overall for handling and wear.

These tires are great! I've been using 25s and made the upgrade to the 28s.
