ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Loved the GP 4000 because of the combination of speed and durability. The 5000s are faster but poor durability. 3 flats in the first 100 miles with cuts in the tire on regular San Diego Roads. Had to throw the tire away before wasting more money on tubes.

I only use GP5000. For me it's the best tire out there. Cost comparable to others of the smae type. Pretty good at resisting flats.

Can't say enough about these. My bike felt better than new, wanna say game changer, but that's overused. I felt it brought out all the handling characteristics that was engineered into my bike. Made me more stable in crosswinds, greater stability at high speeds, best all around tire on the market.

I have tried many different tires over the years and always came back to Continental 4000. These new 5000s are truly an improvement over an already great tire. The ride is smooth and comfortable. The cornering is where I really notice it. These are very sure and confident. I live in Colorado and love riding in the mountains with these. So far seem very tough as well with no flats, or cuts. Not sure on the mileage yet.

I'm a fan of Continentals. My very first ride with these tires I managed to pick up a goat head and that caused a little road side delay, but other than that, I've put a few hundred miles these. So far, they have been very stable and predictable handling, so i couldn't be happier

These are I believe about the best clincher road tires I have ever used. A good compromise on the essential characteristics.

I went tubeless, my bike handled like it did when it was new. Any line i wanted to follow in a turn, the bike dove into, and begged for me to go faster the next time. Truly an underrated tire.

Ive had less flats and less punctures since making the switch to the GP 5000. Great choice, you wont regret it!

Great grip, better than GP4000iis, less noise too, tends to soften faster and in teh wet is as good as a wet tyre

I have had these on most of my bikes in a size 28mm and they are lighter, more puncture resistant, and have better rolling resistance compared to the GP 4000. I find the tires to be very grippy, fast, and knock on one I haven't had one puncture yet. The only downsides is that there a true road tire so I wouldn't really want to do light gravel on these. Secondly these aren't cheap. I would recommend buying them in a 2 pack to get the best savings.

Ride these in my bikes in Napa Valley. Rough rides, potholes etc. Would not use any other tire.

I use this tire for my daily rides(5-6 days a week) and with the exception of a couple of flats early on,once I started using heavy duty intertubes I have not had a problem. My speed might have been a little faster with thinner tubes but it's nothing significant. I'm not a racer

Love these tires. Run great rain or shine.

I put these on my new Diverge. They ride really well and no flats so far!

last long and fewer flats

I use on my Madone road bike.

Great tires, though I did get a flat

Tires feel great but definitely fit truer to size than 4000's. The 700x23's measure 24mm on my HED Belgiums vs. 25mm for the 23mm 4000's. I couldn't clear 25mm 4000s on my frame, will probably give the 25mms 5000s a go next time around.

Fast rolling resistance tire, Puncture protection is excellent
