This tire performs as advertised! Smooth and grippy.

I have these tires on my light weight vintage road bike; they are perfect for long rides in wine country. They provide a smooth ride and great traction on fast curves. My old bike feels like a sports car!

Thank you for your feedback.

awsome!!

im new to road biking, and i had commuter tires because i was afraid of flats here in Chicago suburbs but they were slow! i tried these and all i can say is WOW! what a difference. they are fast and very supple ride. the only fly in the ointment is i had to replace a tire after 200 miles, but could have been bad luck, the front is still fine

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Riding Tire

I use these tires for road cycling here in Indiana. These tires roll well and have a nice ride. I have about 1000 miles so far on these tires. No flats so far. I run 97psi in the front and 102psi in the back. I weigh 180lbs.

Very good tire. Good road grip, smooth.

Road riding on hard surface. Have over 2,500 miles on these tires. Only two flats, one caused by me was a pinch flat, nothing in the tire, the other was a staple I ran over. Nice riding tires, good road grip, they seem quick, but I am 75 yrs old, so not so fast. The only neg, is they are hard to get on and off the carbon tubeless ready rims I use. I am not riding as tubeless.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good tire

I've been riding Clement strata lgg tires and when the sale on these tires jumped up when I needed new tires I bought them. They went on easy and I could feel an improvement in comfort and I think in speed. Had them a few months now, they ride great.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent tires!

Have been using Continental tires for several years. This is my first set of 5000's and they have lived up to expectations. I do a fair amount of city / road riding. No flats. No traction issues.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice! But not a good choice for Mavic UST rims!

Great road feel and reasonably good durability. However, I have Mavic Cosmic carbon UST wheels. I got sick of the tubeless silliness and went back to regular clinchers, partly because these rims are really hard to set up with anything but Mavic tires. The TL version of the GP 5000 is not compatible with these wheels (go try and find that information!) but I thought the regular version would not be an issue. It is.

Thank you for your feedback.

easily punctured

I ride about 8,000 miles a year and have been tubeless on the road since 2014. I have ridden a bunch of tires and was happy to see Continental come out with a tubeless tire finally. I bought a set and have had so many punctures that I finally gave up and threw them out. Granted the punctures always sealed before all air was lost but it happened so often I was sick of getting sealant on my bike and person. I would not reccomend these tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

These tires are excellent. Fast and smooth and good grip.

I use these tires on rail to trails. Paved mostly. No issues. Tires are rated for 123 psi. I tried that, but the tires rode like they were made of solid rock. Reduced pressure to 100 psi, and it made all the difference. I have always trusted Continental. Never had problems with their tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tires

These are great tires that hold the road really well. Ordered 32mm for my Orbea road bike and they absorb the bumps well. A bit hard to install, but once on the rim they perform well.

Super fast but poor durability

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tires and truly improved over the 4000

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Severely underrated

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good Grib, Light and Fast

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

Thank you for your feedback.

The best

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

Continentals are the best bike tires, bar none.

My experience with Continental 4000 and 5000 road tires is superior. They ride best and last longest of any tires I have used over the years.

Brings out handling

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.
