Good Solid Performing Tire

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great ride with lower tire pressure, more comfortable.

Great ride with lower tire pressure, more comfortable.

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

A great all around tire.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

My current choice of tire for road riding.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fair value proposition when on sale

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire!

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!

A pavement gobbler!

Good grip and excellent for rough roads

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

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.

Tube version GP5000s sizing versus GP4000s

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fast rolling tire

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.

Durable, fast tire with low rolling resistance road tire.

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.
