ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

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.

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'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.

Excellent good traction and long lasting

I use them for group rides. I don't like getting flats, so I use Conti tires and tubes.

Then only tire I race and train on. Ever since nobody is racing on tubulars anymore.

I can't think of a better all around tire.

Nice rolling resistance and quite puncture resistant. Nice durability as well.

This is basically the brand and model where I see most of my cycling friends use. Decided to try it out and so far so good. Handles better than what I had. Nothing technical in this review. I average at least 100 miles a week for this spring/ summer time so I definitely ride it out.

Takes a bit of work to get the bead over the rim the first time, otherwise a great tire.

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

I ride thousands of miles a year and have used many major brands including Continental. I used the 400 for years and tried the 5000 when it came out. Great rolling resistance, smooth comfortable feel and very few punctures. I got close to 3000 miles on the rear tire and almost 6000 on the front. Great value and extremely reliable. Would recommend to any road bike rider.

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

Awesome tires changed from gator skins and what a difference!!

Great product at the perfect price!

I held off on upgrading tires, but wish I had done so sooner. I ran Conti Gatorskins 23ml for years -- I'm now 4 rides into Conti GP5000 25ml and noticed the ride quality (and speed!) difference immediately.

Known as the best road tire and that's been my experience. Smooth and fast rolling. Great bike upgrade!
