ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Been using the various generation of Grand Prix. Conti keeps improving with each model. Yes, prices to match but these go on sale occasionally. Only downside is its difficulty to mount.

5000's are my full time tire of choice. Reasonably flat resistant, long wearing.

Cons? Fairly tight fitting, not the easiest to mount or remove.

Got these tires on sale. Even when they aren't on sale you can't go wrong with gp5000's

Bought these as an upgrade tire with less weight on my new set of carbon wheels. No flats. Grips well on corners.

On my "definitely buy again" list when needed!

Cycling on bad New Hampshire roads. Love the Vittoria Corsa Next 2.0 also, but they just don't last like these.

32mm on front and back of Giant Defy. A few tires I've tried are close, but none are better!

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.

I've had three pairs of these. Each one last 4-5,000 miles. Arizona roads.

Fast. Comfortable. Puncture resistant.

I routinely get 3,000 miles plus out of these tires and only rarely do I get any flats. I've used other tires over the years, but have not found another tire that compares to these tires.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
