ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Great quality as always

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

The Grand Prix are the best all around tires, great rolling resistance, rate flated, and good durability.

Bought these for a 200mi, 2-day charity grand fondo as an upgrade from an all-condition tire I was training on. I'm 186lb so run these 32mm at 65-68psi. Comfortable yet firm and secure in the turns. Only one flat in the ~800mi I have on them.

Had previously owed and was very satisfied with the Continental 5000. I was looking for this tire with yellowish looking side walls to compliment the Rage Red on my Trek Damone and found it with a creme side wall, very satisfied and happy with looks and performance.

Easy to mount, good looking, holds up very well, mounts slightly thinner measured the 28mm as 25mm, so far 2,000 miles without any issues

The first time I used the Conti 5000 was the first time I used a tire that I could feel a difference, improvement in my ride. I just do not have puncture problems with Conti's.

These have performed well in all conditions and are noticably smoother than other tires I've ridden in this price range. Haven't tested in wet conditions. I ride debris ridden urban and suburban roads, and the only flat in 1K miles this far was a saw blade that slashed the tire sidewall to sidewall.

GP 5ks are my favorite overall tire. The tan sidewalls seem to go on easier than all black. Fast, durable, feel good, and corner well. Other tires might gain a few more watts or have more durability but these are the workhorse do-it-all. Especially if you're still playing with tubes.

I love these tires, have them on both my road bikes. They are fast and they don't get flats. Perfect combination.

Have been using Grand Prix now for about 5 years. Very satisfied with performance. Well made tire. Get good mileage, which is an improvement over previously purchased Michelin Pro 4s.

I swapped these GP5000s on my bike as my group rides got into the 17+ mph range. I find them faster and they corner better while seeming to handle training volume on mediocre roads pretty well. I opted to go up to 32s to maximize my coverage on chip seal roads and they work well.
