ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Tried new Conti 5000 and side wall definitely under performs in puncture resistance. Half a dozen rides ?? pretty $$$. I felt nearly bullet proof on 4000's. Its either some really bad luck or these are just slow racing tires.

Best road tire, fast and withstands glass/debris on our local roads

Tough to tubeless mount . Took several attempts.

Riding in these , however, is excellent. Low rolling resistance, and reasonable cut resistance.

This is the last continental tyre I will purchase. I used gp4k clinchers for years, then went to gp5k tubeless which worked alright. You could find them for $65 bucks and I'd hope to get 2k miles out of them before too many cuts.

Now to have to purchase a $90 tyre and have it fail and not seal multiple times within the first 1000 miles. Nope. Off to a competitor.

A top shelf tubeless tire - carries on the GP line's tradition of high quality and high performance with decent durability.

Have had several brands of performance road tires, GP 5k is my choice for overall performance. The new S TR, set up tubeless, has been excellent so far, appears to wear well and feels great.

This is a good quality road tire, though kinda pricey. I have used similar Conti clinchers in the past and this is consistent. Being tubeless, I found it rather difficult to install. Had to resort to one of those tire bead lever gadgets you see advertised. Without that, you better have big strong hands.

Got 4200 miles on the last GP 5000 TR rear tire, front looked like it still had quite a few miles left. I would rotate the tires if they weren't so difficult to mount.

Mounting was slightly easier than the GP 5000 TR, but some of that could be due to experience and making sure to do it on a nice warm day after leaving the tire in the sun.

I've been riding and doing most of my own bike maintenance for going on 28 seasons and I've never encountered a tire that was so difficult to mount. In fact, I never got it mounted. I tried both tires on 2 different HED wheels, but no dice. I spoke with the mechanic at my LBS and he said that they are that tight and are near impossible to get on/off. In the end I had to return them.

Great tubeless tire, just converted to tubeless in early winter 2023 so still not sure how much mileage I will get. I average 150-200 miles weekly over 5000 yearly, will update later

With my Trek Emanda road and Trek Speed Concept Time Trial

Great tire. Super easy set up tubeless over other top brands. Never going back to anything else.

Frankly, I have given up trying to mount these. A lot of anguish and the effort to mount them even drew blood. What a waste of money!

I am a long time cyclist and not a rookie at putting tires on rims. This is not the first difficult time I've had with Continentals but even though the others were difficult this is the one I finally gave up on. I had to give it one star as zero isn't an option.

Can I have my money back?

My go-to tires! Easy to setup with Zipp 303s and I feel confident running them, even on wet roads.

Absolutely impossible to mount on Rovals. Literally, will not go on. Tried everything including a tire jack and heating the tire. Took it to LBS; couldn't do it, either. Would give it zero if I could since it's useless.

King of the road.

So far 400+ miles on these tires. 30s feel slightly more comfortable and I hope a little more puncture resistant than 28s. Running tubeless on hookless rims .

If it's good for Pogacar It's good enough for me. Get the black it's faster.

Fast but fragile!

These tires are way easier to mount with much less finger damage and swearing the the GP 5000 TLs. I've only ridden a few hundred miles without any issues so far, but clearly not enough to speak to longevity. So far, seems to have a similar ride feel to the previous GP 5000 TL. These tires are very hard to come by. Waited about 4 months for the set.
