ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

As a weekend cyclist I don't need top of the line tires. These tires work well and hold up on the sorry roads I I'm forced to ride.

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.

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.

6000 mile per year road rider and have easily gotten 5000+ miles regularly on them.

These tires are awesome. They move fast, but they don't wear fast. The tan sidewalls also look pretty sweet, which of course is the most important part of cycling...

Continental easiest to install and beads up perfect with little effort

GP 5000 good all around tires and they have very competitive price at BIKE Tire direct.

I use these tires on my road bike, I probably get about 3000 miles for a set. They ride well, durable, just a great road tire to use.

Great tires and lowest price available!

Great grip of the road; resists glass and other sharps items that can cause flats;

A beast to change/put on.

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.

I was a fan of Continental tires (routinely purchasing Gatorskins in the past).

However, when I got my first flat with this tire, I broke a tire lever removing it, and I could not remount the tire without another set of hands to assist me.

I bought two tires and returned one of them after my experience fixing the flat with the first one. I don't want to be stranded if I get a flat and no one is around to help me removing and remounting the tire.

Smooth, great grip, high quality tires.

great tire for the price considering the performance it offers

these tires are really easy to install compared to other tires too
