ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Seems as good as the 4000, and often on sale, so a very good value. Very good traction (on roads), good road feel, mounts easily, rolls very well.

The 5000 was easy to mount ride is grate grip is good

These are on my Cannondale road bike and are the second set I have bought. I love the ride these tires give.

Great tire. Improved over 4000S II.

These went on my new (to me) bike that would take wider tires. So far I'm VERY pleased with them!

always had great experiences on conti's, these 5000's are no different. I get fewer flats, good grip and provide a good ride feel compared to some other brands

Great Tire for the price!!

Love the tire! Use it on my road bike and carry a spare as well.

No idea I have not used them but I will

I haven't had any negatives. These have been just as advertised. Great rolling, great cornering, good flat protection, and my new go to everyday road tire.

Best tire we have found.

I'm loyal to the Contential Grand Prix and this tire is the BEST yet. Rolls smooth, no flats for 2 months now. Perfect tire for daily riding and can use for racing too.

Love these tires. For whatever reason, these tires make me want to go faster. Incredible rolling resistance and super sticky. Favorite tire right now.

Less flats

This tire has the best rolling resistance of any clincher tire I have ridden.

I've been using Grand Prixs for about 10 years. Great traction & few tire-related problems.

While the 5000 was recently released, and is 'new & improved,' there was nothing wrong with the 4000 IIs and the reduced price commonly found on them now makes them a really great deal. I will continue to run them on my road bike for years to come.

I'm a longtime fan of Continental clincher tires, having used Grand Prix 4000 (including S II) , All Season, & Gatorskin versions. Past GP 4000 tires have lasted 2000-3000 miles treadwear with few flats and no sidewall problems, with ride quality noticeably more supple than the All Season or Gatorskin. But in a GP 4000 S II pair bought from BTD this season that had only about 1000 miles use, the one on the rear wheel recently had a sidewall hole directly under the reflective strip letting a bit of tube push out through it (analogous to an intestine pushing through an abdominal hernia). This required discarding that tire for safety. Fortunately I had an extra tire available to replace it. I don't know if this indicates declining quality control or was just a random event, but I'm disappointed in the exception to the GP 4000's customarily excellent reliability.

I bought these to replace a set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires specifically because I was looking to reduce weight and rolling resistance. Based on research, this tire seemed to check both of those boxes while still providing reasonable puncture resistance.

These tires run incredibly smooth and effortless. As for puncture resistance, I just returned from a weeklong bike trip covering 500 miles of rural roads littered with sharp rocks and steel belted tire shards and didn't have one puncture. I even did a little gravel riding (less than 10 miles). I cannot comment on traction in the rain as I plan to use my Schwalbes for winter commuting, however due to the low weight and very low rolling resistance, I very highly recommend these tires for any type of distance riding (multiple day trips, or centuries), they exceeded my expectations.

The only puncture I've ever had with Conti GP4000s was a pinch flat - my bad. For my road bike, I can't imagine a better investment, especially when they're on sale!

I run the Continental Grand Prix S II road tire on three of my four road bikes. They simple are the best tire for the money. Good rolling characteristics, puncture resistant and long lasting. I have tried other brands with no where the success of these fine tires. Highly recommended for your road cycling both racing and training.
