ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Best price found online. Shipping was quick. Figment was a bit tricky, but once in place the tan walls made my bike look nice and roll a bit faster. Steel is real.

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.

Used the 32mm with tubes for a month and about 500 miles after a 6 month back order. I ran over something that put a 1 inch slice in the rear and now that tire is useless. Maybe just bad luck but will not order them again. I'll stick with the 4-season or gatorskin.

Got the 28 mm version. Extraordinarily comfortable especially on chip seal roads which are very common where I live. Great grip on wet roads, too. A little pricey, but if you want to avoid disappointment, always buy the best; and these are the best.

Ride smooth, feel fast, not enough miles to comment on puncture resistance. Moved to these from a pair of Pro Endurance 4's and they are a tighter fit for sure but nothing I'm concerned about if I have to make a change on the road.

No issues going on DT Swiss 421 rims. Loved the look with dark grey bike and tan sidewall. Feels softer and grippier than Michelin Power, Specialized Turbo Pro and Vitoria Rubino. No issues with flat protection on Houston streets and bayous. Bought in 28 and installed width is 29mm on 20mm internal wheel.

I am not a hot shot hi speed rider but more like an old guy looking for every advantage. I have ridden on Conti 4000 since they came out and when I got a new bike I upgraded to the 5000. The improvement was noticeable and when I experienced a really bad cut in my 5000 I ordered a new one. I don't think it is my imagination that the newer 5000 I bought is even better than the originals. Plus the sidewalls give me that '56 Chevy look!

I placed an order in Oct 2021 and received these tires in January (28cm). Conti tires are my mainstays and can already tell a difference.

The last set (another brand) punctured with relative frequency and the thought of a possible puncture was always present.

Time will tell with this set, but experience with Conti tires leads me to believe I'm in good shape.

I have used these for some years. I'm no lightweight (200 lbs.), so flats are an issue for me. I have had uniformly good luck with Grand Prix 5000's - particularly when they are new. They ride and corner well. I replace them about every 2500 miles - I notice that at that wear level I start getting flats.

Smooth rolling and tough as nails

I've been riding on this tire from its beginning, it meets all the needs of experienced riders. It's trusted, reliable and comfortable.

Because of the weather conditions in my area I haven't had a chance to ride but my experience with the tires so far are great. They were easy to install them and I am looking forward to get on the trails in spring and try them.

It took six months to receive the new tires with >20 shipping updates with new dates. The price of the tires on this site was slightly lower when the tires actually did ship compared to when I placed the order, but I still got charged the original price.

Been using Continental 4000 and now 5000's for several years and I don't think they can be beat for overall performance, durability and flat resistance. I believe I will be staying with these tires for the foreseeable future.

In the last couple of years, I changed up from GP 4000 Contis to these 5000s and they are a subtle improvement with better sidewall resistance to flats. During my career I have ridden everything from $10 east European tubulars to Vittorias and Michelins. These Contis work well in the wet as well as the dry - and for winter I put on the 4-Season Contis in a wider fit.

These tires ride very smoothly and with excellent grip. Also very durable...have not punctured even riding on winter roads with tons of debris. Why can't the street sweeper sweep the bike lanes? I got a great sale price on them and bought a set of 25 and 28 mm and one set of tubeless. They are currently the workhorse tires for me and the 25s are light enough to race too.

As a long term user of the Grand Prix 4000, the 5000 seem to be a slight upgrade. The tire handles and performs well. The 5000 series tire definitely wears much faster than the older 4000. The maximum mileage is in the 3000 mile range.

These feel very smooth and fast, and mounted without drama. I use them on a Trek Emonda that I reserve for long rides or intense workouts, not daily commuting. They feel better than the OEM Bontragers that were on the bike, which I replaced because I could feel and see were already losing their shape after only 3,000 miles.

Excellent good traction and long lasting
