ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

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.

I run clinchers. What else is there to say about the Conti 5000's? Excellent rolling resistance is the best feature imo. As for punctures, etc I have experienced some, but they were from obvious incidents such as hard hits through holes or thorns for example. No random small punctures of any kind.

I have used Continetal GP 4000 Tires on my road bikes for 16 vears.I average 3,000 to 3,500 miles before replacement. This is my third set of GP5000 tires,got3,500 miles on one set and 3,600 on another. Great tires from a great co Excellent service from BIKE TIRES DIRECT.

I've tried many of the brands and keep coming back to Contis! They are durable: 1) I get the most mileage out of them. 2) Fewest punctures 3) The ride is comfortable. I've got a pair of 28m on backorder - worth the wait!

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.

I loved this tire at first and marveled at its performance. I got about 500 miles out of them before catastrophic failure of the sidewall happened. The center tread held up great and the tire rolled very fast but the sidewall is not durable. Hopefully the new version fixes the sidewall problem. I had great faith in this tire until the sidewall issue. Unfortunately its short lifespan made me seek out other tires to try.

Ran 4000s for years. Was concerned about the 5000s due to slightly thinner sidewalls vs the chip & tar roads we have here in TN. The 5000s have had no problems at all, usually good for 3500 miles+. No blowouts. Good puncture protection.

The GP5000 is a really nice tire. Supple and fast. Problem is that it seems to have very limited sidewall protection. I've had more punctures in the last few months with these than I've had with all other tires combined, and all have been sidewall punctures. For now at least, I've switched to the 4 Seasons, which seem to have a bit more protection and are almost as fast.

Excellent good traction and long lasting

As a cyclist which relies on products which can provide endurance, comfort and reliability, these road tires are the best. Best part is I can always get them at BikeTiresDirect.com at a great price!

I used these for Ironman Wisconsin. Much of the road surfaces were rather poor. And the railroad tracks were worse than the ones I’ve crossed in the Pittsburgh area. There were many flat tires on the bike course, and I’m very thankful to say I wasn’t one of them! These tires held up wonderfully!!

I have about 500 mi. on these tires so far. The grip and ride feel are great. I've got over 50,000 mi. on various bikes and tires. These are a great tire for the money.

Been riding these for years and they haven't failed me yet

I have been using the Continental Grand Prix tires for several years now. This newest version seems to work well. I will continue to keep buying them. I have used them with Latex tubes in the past and they work very well. Currently I am trying the Tubolito tubes which are working well with these tires. Not quite the same ride feel as with the Latex tubes though.

Better puncture protection for my needs than any other tire I have used that rolls this well. The compound also feels very grippy versus other similar racing/training tires. Tread wear far surpasses cotton casing tires for a tire that isn't very slower in use by my estimates.

I've tried Michelin and other brands of road bike tires and always go back to these. They are great. Fast, hug the road and I like the wear markers.

Great tire. I use tubes and very few flats. Rolls and grips well. Mileage varies dependent on terrain but got about 4,000 out of my last set.

Have used Contis for many many years.

Best all around tire!!!

Exceptional tires I buy two sets a year
