The pair of GP5000 S TR were an amazing upgrade on my bike. At 493g for the pair (700x26), these were massive 305g weight savings over the stock tires on my Giant TCR Pro 1. I'm running these on hookless rims in tubeless configuration with PSI 67 front and 71 rear. The weight savings were noticeable when you come up to speed. It is easier to hold your speed with less effort.
The only downside to this product is that they are still quite pricey. Hopefully in some months we will see a price drop.

Continental tires have always been my go-to, but over the past couple years I had decided to try a few other brands: Pirelli, Maxxis, Michelin, to name a few. Came back around to these Contis and I love them! Light and durable, great road feel, and hold air better than any other tubeless I've used!

Not the tire's fault. I've been running them on Zipp 404s. But I did pick up a staple 40 miles from home.
Bad day to be me. But I patched the tire and have put another 1500 mile on it since. So really little to complain about. I'll defiantly buy them again.

I've had about all the Conti road tires over the past 20yrs riding and racing. Clinchers, tubulars, & tubless. I was not a big fan of the 4000s and thought the 5000s were not bad. But then I ordered these TLs (28mm) & mounted on a set of Cadex 42s and am still shocked at how amazing they feel. I thought tires are tires, but these ride like tubulars on another level. I run around 80psi and the grip on corners is noticeable even in the wet. I used to dread chip & seal road surface but now look forward to it as these tires will make it feel like fresh pave. I've only had them for about 1K miles but have had zero problems. They are well worth the price. Ordering another set.

I have been riding Continentals for the past 7 years. This is my first pair of TR tires. I used Conti 5000 25C with tubes previously and thought I would try tubeless. Mounted the 28C 5000 S TR on new Hunt Rims without much ado after watching a couple videos. Was able to inflate with a regular floor pump (possibly due to design of tire and rims). I have a Trek Domane and ride exclusively on the road. After 600+ miles I can say I have had no issues and the ride and handling are great. I am confident in the tire.

I've had great success with Continental tires. They are my go to tire. Bought a new Trek Madone and quickly replaced the tires with these Continentals and haven't looked back. Got the natural rubber sidewalls which look awesome. The ride is excellent, smooth, and resists flats.

The Continental 5000 : DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEM!!!
I've used them since they first came out as the 4000 as clinchers and at present as 5000 tubeless with no issues. Low friction (fast!!) and great grip. No wonder it's the best all- a rounder when selecting dependable rubber for your steed.

Two years using these exclusively now. Not one flat. I have got the hang of seating them, I have accepted that the harder they are to put on the more secure I am. For the price I wish they lasted longer but I love the feel and ride.

Started running tubeless on my road bike and these tires are great. I've always loved the tubed version, and these are just as good (if not better). At the risk of jinxing myself I have not had any punctures and they were actually fairly easy to mount and to seat without an air compressor.

I spent years racing on tubulars and finally decided after retiring from racing to switch to tubeless tires. I am so glad that I chose the Continental S TR Road tires in 28 mm. Honestly they were difficult to get on my DT Swiss 1400 wheels, Once on the wheels they aired up without an issue. I can dial the air pressure in based on my training rides. Wahoo

If you're switching to tubeless, this is the spring/summer tire for you. Supple, smooth, durable, and super easy to mount. Rides well in damp conditions; haven't tried in the true wet of Oregon.

This is my second set of Grand Prix 5000str tires. I'm sold on this product. I really appreciate the grip that these tires have going into and out of a corner with speed. It's a real confidence booster.
Review by BK
California's Central Valley might be flat but the adjacent Sierra Mountains are not. Riding from home I get a great mix of flat terrain and climbs of up to 14% - 16% and even 19%.
The GP 5000S TR has very low rolling resistance, excellent durability and climbs, descends and corners better than any tire I have ridden.
I highly recommend this tire.
Review by Ben T
Much easier to mount than my previous GP5k TL tires. Still far from the easiest, but not nearly as many cuss words, beer and planetary alignment required to get these things on. Fast as always, pretty resistant to punctures and a nice ride. Conti continues to impress me.
Review by MK
I had great experience using Contintental's GP line of clincher tires and this tire in tubeless configure delivers on that promise. These were easy to seat on the initial install. These tires perform just as well as the Vittoria Corsa TLRs that preceded them and they seem to be a bit more durable as well. Even on sale, they are pricey, hence only 4 stars on value.

Came back to these after a year on a cheaper set from a different brand. I was immediately reminded how much tire choice impacts the quality of your ride. These are excellent. Expensive, but no more so than other premium tires.

Bought two sets of 32s and have set these up tubeless on two of our bikes (Canyon Endurace with DT Swiss wheels and Trek Domane with Bontrager Aeolus wheels). I was able to mount them by hand on both sets of wheels but it does take some effort. They certainly feel faster than stock tires and are grippy in dry and wet conditions. Fast, smooth, and comfortable.

After about 1500 miles the rear has plenty of cuts and a decent amount of wear, more than half way to the garbage can. The front still looks pretty good. Got a few flats on the rear in the last couple hundred miles.
Review by Richrob
In the past I ran the GP 4000s with very few flats. Since using the 5000s I get a lot more flats and fewer miles. Conti went for performance over durability. I have found they make a GP 5000 AR which has thicker rubber. Now I just need Bike Tires direct to put them on sale.

Very good tire. Never had a problem. They last a long time. The one down side is, they are tubeless tires and are hard to get on.
