ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Hugely disappointed with these. Within a few rides of installing them I double-flatted on a road I've ridden many times before on Gator Hardshell's with no issues . Small goathead thorns punctured both tires. For the price I expected a lot more. I'm going back to tried and true GH's.

These tires are probably fantastic for many applications, but they are no match for even the smallest thorns Mother Nature can create and throw on a rural road.

I put Grand Prix 4000 tires on my Giant, and was very happy with the ride and handling. I thought if the 4000 tires worked so well I would go up a notch and purchased the Grand Prix 5000 tires for my newer Specialized. The tires did not disappoint the ride and handling is just as good if not a little bit better, nice tires.

Buy 4000, new GP 5000 wears way faster.

Pump up to 100 PSI and your bike becoms the rocket.

These are the only tires i put on our bikes! And for the price this is perfect.

Handling is excellent,

Puncture resistance is good.

Very aesthetic.

Rolls great and durability.

I will order from Bike Tires Direct for my tire needs.

Much easier to mount than the tubeless gp 5000

I have it on all my bikes 25's on my Cervelo S5 and 28's on my new Pinarello F. Its durable, fast and light everything i look for in a tire.

These are excellent tires, but if I did not know whether I was on my older 4000s or my new 5000s I could not tell the difference.

After suffering through a summer of flats I decided to ditch my almost new Vittorias and try the new Continental Grand Prix 5000. They are superb. I broke them

in at Santa Rosa 70.3. The road condition was not good and the Continental 5000 performed perfectly. Excellent road grip and very fast!

Oh and Biketiresdirect had them to me in 2 days!

Easy to install, smooth rolling, good puncture protection & good looking

We switched over to the 32s of this model from a light touring tire for the summer. We have a tandem that can run up to 38s but these fit the bit for nice pavement to chip seal country roads. They are much faster and corner great. They also have a nice road feel as the larger volume lets us get away with lower pressure. Wouldnt take these on dirt, but thats not what they are made for!

I have rode these tires last 2 of the 9 RAGBRAI's I have participated in. Continental makes a quality product. Well worth the price.

Mount super easy. Very reliable and grippy tires. Good puncture protection too.

I ride this tire in a 700c x 25mm size daily on asphalt, typically 20 - 60 miles. I used to switch to Gator Skins for Fully Supported week long tours, but this year I have left the 5000S tires on my bike rims and they are proving surprisingly flat resistant. I may switch to a 28mm width for the next week tour.

Great race tires. Would highly recommend. Super tight bead on them however, might need some real elbow grease to get on.

Conti Grand Prix 5000 just keep getting better and better. Great puncture and rolling resistance!

Picked up a pair of the 700c x 25mm tires when they were on sale. I couldn't tell a noticeable difference over the previous model of this tire (GP 4000 SII) but I did use them in a 60 mile race and they rolled as smooth as butter, gave a soft ride. They have not punctured after 350 miles of riding so far and that includes over some rough gravel and road debris. If you can grab these when they are on sale you can't go wrong.
