ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I truly think these tires are worth the deal I received. Great price and a great product. Less punctures much greater traction and I love the reflective strips. I ride mostly at night, 10 miles to work and I like the durabilty. Thanks

I use the tire on a Trek One Series 1.5 bike. This is my daily training bike and I average 125 miles per week. GP 4000 S II tires really perform and wear well. I have use them ever since I place the first set on them. Excellent and responsive tires.

I've been riding Continental Grand Prix 4000s for years.

As a rear tire they typically last about 2000 miles (with a 200 lb. rider) and on the front, they last significantly longer.

I purchase them about once a year from BikeTiresDirect, because their price is hard to beat.

Ive used this tire before. It is durable. not prone to flats

I have been using these tires now for about 3 years and they are by far the most puncture proof tire out there! In 3 years I have only gotten 2 flats and that is only because I road over a bunch of glass (unavoidable unfortunately). I will continue to buy these tires indefinitely and am excited to try out the new 5000 series.

I use these for noncompetitive, long road rides. There's a reason they're so popular, they're great all around tires. They're grippy, comfortable, and puncture resistant. I've got about 2000 miles on my latest set, and they look like they'll go 2000 more. They're a steal when you get them on sale, which, thankfully, BTD offers frequently.

Ive been riding some balding but not quitting 33mm Jack Brown Green tires for past several years wondering what a good handmade, $70 each, set of tires would be like. I tried these as an inexpensive interim and will go no further. They ride like Ive never experienced in my old 23mm Conti GP days theyre supple, fast (sure, anythings faster than Jack Browns) and astoundingly grippy. BTD makes them so freaking affordable, you have nothing to lose in the 28mm size, I say.

Responsive and durable tires are Continental, like everything and wouldn't buy other tires except Schwabel.

I put one of these on my front wheel for racing in CA to help swallow broken bits of our roads. They worked great. Of course you need to know the clearance of your bike. On my Reynolds rims these balloon to 29.2. Enjoy.

Very difficult to mount especially in cold weather. Tire developed a hop in it after only 800 miles of riding. Avoid Continental tires.

I find these tires to be very comfortable. Of course, that may be because I went from 25s to 28s. They seem to have great road traction also.

If you're looking for a lightweight grippy tire Conti 4000II s fits the bill. If you want a tire that can hold up to the road debris we all encounter not so much. Deep gauges from blue stone, sea shells (common in the asphalt of FLA), & other small sharp objects have rendered 2 tires useless in well under 1K miles.

The 700x25s are my go-to tire these days, especially with the great prices you can get now. Don't overlook the reflective version. I use them on my touring bike. At night with a headlamp on, they are incredibly bright. Helps me find my tent in the dark.

I really wanted to see if these tires were much better than gator skins or ultra sports or thickslicks. At the price point it finally became worth it to check it out. They are definitely a superior option to all above mentioned. They have enough puncture to have survived my neighborhood for the last month and that is a strong endorsment. Very much worth buying at the current price.

2000 miles plus Work well for me

This is a great tire for all around riding I also use gatorskins in the winter so when I put these on it makes the bike feel more lively. Funny thing is I dont seen to be able to notice a difference in punctures between these and the heavier continental model.

The rubber compound is so sticky the tires pick up small rocks, which you have to listen to as you ride along. With latex tubes, I never experienced a slow flat with these tires, only blow outs that required patching the tire in order to keep using. Riding 150 miles a week, four tires lasted an average of five weeks each, when I gave up and changed to a different tire. The 4000 is annoying, unreliable and time-consuming to keep rolling.

Perfect all around performance tire, from racing to long hauls, great sturdy tire

Love these tires. Very grippy and I get an excellent role. Seems to be faster than my Gator hardshell tires that I had previously.

Ivy been using these tires for several years now and I can honestly say Ive never had a flat due to a puncture. They have exceptional grip and wear like iron.
