I purchased the cream wall tires , look great and Very smooth riding tire, great puncture resistant tire over 700 miles. Won't use no other tire. Worth every penny !
Review by Aladin
1500 miles plus this 5 month winter south Tx.. compared the wear indicators to the new one waiting to be mounted on the front vs.... one can not see any difference in their depth. I do not run sealant.. just enough to
get a decent sidewall seal and then carry plugs and seal if needed. Noted many cuts.. no leaks. 28mm.
Pro One on the front is holding up well 25mm.. yet on the front. I'm 195 lbs.. fitness rider. Like the P Ones.. just the 5000 is superior in all respects. IMO experimenting w roll out testing in various tires.. I'd vote for 28's over 25's for rolling resistance. Especially if your wheelset is light wt.

One of the lowest rolling resistance tires and all around performers out there for the money. This has become my "go-to" tire and have it on several bikes.
Review by Paul
This tire grips nicely in corners and rolls smoothly. It seems as durable if not more so than its GP 4000 predecessor. I've put about 1K miles on these tires, riding generally bad roads with lots of urban debris and they're holding up well so far.
Review by Eric
Light and supple. Much better ride than gatorskin. Not as good as velo flex, but better tread wear. No flats so far after several hundred miles!
Review by Kristie
I have been using Continental tires for years! I have had no problems with any of the sets that I have purchased. I rode over 2000 miles last year. I have used these while living in Oregon and now Colorado. I now have my partner using Continental tires too and no complaints. Fingers Crossed no flats with this new set!

I switched to these after I gave up on tubeless. So far they're fast and durable with a much more supple feel than previous versions. Conti's are always a little on the stiffer side (IMHO) and harder to get on the rim than the average tire (always finish at the valve stem!).
Review by Cbear
Continental 5000 23mm tire. I ride 1000 miles plus a month in South West Florida very smooth roads and no hills. I weight 150 lbs. I have over 2000 miles on the tires now with no signs of wear on the front and very little on the rear tire. The tires roll with less resistance than the Continental 4000s. The ride and handling are about the same as the 4000s. I have the tires on Zipp 454nsw wheels and they are easy to mount. I have not had a flat yet. A very nice tire and plan to put the 5000 tire on my other bikes.
Review by bikestervongettin
I bought these because they were on sale and I always heard good things about the gp 4000s. I've been thrilled so far because they've made a crappy set of wheels feel much improved. Not that they're a replacement for a new set of carbon rims, but if you're running some heavy endurance stock rubber you'll notice a substantial improvement. No clue on wear yet, because I've only put 150ish miles on them, but no punctures so far.
Review by Akta1
The ride seems very smooth but the sidewalls seem a little delicate!
I have had several sidewall flats.

Old time clichers running around 70 psi (I weighy neraly 200lbs) ride is pretty good and roll seems great to me. As advertised 265 gram tire, 33mm wide on a 20mm internal rim. Mounting is just right really tight but no levers required. Durable enough for small stretches of dirt roads with small stones on the surface.

Nice upgrade from the previous model of this tire. Will buy again.
Review by QUADZILLA
Great tires. I wish they were a little cheaper but it is what it is. I get 3-4,00 miles out of mine.
Review by bikelover
Use them on a race and so far this is the faster tire That I've ever had, I'm very please with them.
Review by Jimmy Velo
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.

These tires are very smooth riding. I find good mileage from the tires as well. Good value overall

Been riding these tires for a long time. Only thing that is a con, they can be hard to put on (or it could be my 78 yr old hands)

Got the look I wanted with the performance I already knew and the price was right

Light weight, good grip, and comfortable riding. My favorite road tire.
