ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

There is nothing negative to say. This tire rolls effortlessly fast. Wears well and is very stable. I would absolutely purchase again.

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.

Perfect combo of durability and performance!

Excellent tire,nice comfort.

Great price ??

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
