ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

IMO still the best tires. I use tubes, both latex, and TPU. Don't care for the hassle of tubeless. Rugged, fast, great cornering.

Fast, durable, light. Not aware of anything better.

Durable, fast rolling, easy to install tire. Have used Continental's for years. The 5000 just improves on earlier models.

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.

I will not ride on anything else, GP5000s are that good. I even use their Conti Race 28 inner tubes.

The Grand Prix 5000s held up well to the chip seal and gravel sections of the Tour De Zona no flats no loss of air. they rolled well and had great grip.

I have had serious issues fitting to 2 different sets of Mavic wheels. No way I am using these on carbon wheels. This is unfortunate considering I have used these a lot in the past.

Best bike tires on the market hands down

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

I use on my Madone road bike.

The GP5000 is all it is supposed to be. I've been riding the GP4000SII for several years. It has been a great tire for our rough roads. It has been durable and fast. The GP5000 appears to be just as durable and seems to roll better. Recommend these tires to everyone. I do fast group rides and several long ridesraces per year.

I highly recommend Bike Tires Direct. Always fast, reliable service.

Always a top quality tire.

I have been riding the Continental Grand Prix tires for many many years.

Previously always the 4000 S. Now...the new Grand Prix 5000.

I find these tires to be even better. They seem to roll better, smoother, and just feel great !

I think the shock absorption is superior, and they just make the bike feel better than before.

Very nice, I highly recommend these tires.
