Review by Canyon-Addiction
These came with my new Canyon Endurace (SLX-Force). If you run these with tubes...you'll flat often. Had 3 flats in 10 rides. Finally went tubeless. These tires have exceptional feel, speed, and grip. Thousand miles in tubeless, no flats. A few punctures and a gash, but Stans took care of all of it. I have considered the AS TR's, but if these continue to perform the way they are I'll def. stick with them. Long-time Vittoria user, but these are just faster. Excellent tire,

Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire
These tires are the best option for my road bike.
My GP 5000's have provided outstanding rides for over 5000 rugged miles. The roads I ride are very tough and I have not had a flat. I'm also impressed with how much easier my GP 5000's are to get on my Roval wheelset.

Loved these.
I ride mix of road and gravel (steep logging roads in PNW) so this was a new kind of tire for me. I wanted it for riding in the Pyrenees, went to ride and watch the 5 stages there this year for the Tour.
These were perfect. long days on mostly road with huge vert up and down. Super comfy and confident on the ripper decents.

I replaced the 45 mm gravel tires on my Salsa Warbird with 32 mm Grand Prix's, and it made it much faster and easier to keep up with my roadie friends.

Ride on Maui, lots of debris in bike lane, rough roads. Flats every month. Thought Gatorskins would help. NOPE. Then bought a new Canyon with Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR. Have had two flats in 18 months. Well worth the extra cost and less hassle. Only Ride 50-60 mi/wk, but a huge difference.

Been riding Conti GP's for years. Got the TR version when I bought my tubeless wheelset. These are just as good as every previous GP's. Super comfortable, great traction, seem to be wearing well. Why ride anything else?
Review by G Halliday
These are really good tires. I ride year 'round in mostly hot/humid weather and also in the winter down south. I travel for work and bring my bike lots of time especially to NYC for 60, 70, or 80 mile rides. I run tubeless and use Orange Seal regular and Ive had great results. Yeah, punctures happen especially in urban riding (Jersey City, NYC, etc.) but if you keep your sealant level up, inside of tires clean, and don't over pressure, these tires have wonderful longevity. Also, they corner nicely and generally ride well. I have no need to explore tubeless ready tires any further after the GP5000 TR. If you are a nut about maintenance (which you should be) and keep track of your tires and mileage these should be good for 4000 miles before you get to the bottom of the wear indicator although I wish I could get any tire to the bottom of the wear indicator. +1 for the GP5000 TR.

Really love the feel of these, they're light and fast. Unlike the schwalbes and the enves they seem to retain their speed after the first hundred miles.
Very susceptible to small punctures- definitely not as durable as the schwalbes. Probably equivalent to the enves.
Review by John
I got these in 28mm and mounted them on HED Ardennes LT+ TR rim brake rims (21mm interior width). Replaced a set of tubed GP4000s. Like other commenters note, the 28mm tubeless look like my former 25mm tubed tires, but I haven't measured them. I didn't have any trouble mounting these, though I used tire levers to mount them. They're a pleasure to ride; tubeless is always a little plusher than tubed, but these are a bit silkier than other tubeless I've ridden. It may be my imagination but they seem a little faster than my previous GPs. I've ridden about 300 miles on them over all kinds of surface, including milled asphalt, crappy NYC streets, and dirt, and I've had no flats and no premature wear. Expensive but I expect to get every penny out of them.

I use these everyday. They mount up easy with my old hands only. Inflate easily and hold air like no other tire I've owned. They roll and corner very fast. I had another set from a major tire company and when I mounted and rode with these, I immediately felt I could corner better and roll faster. They were just a tad harsher which I think maybe because once mounted they were exactly 32 mm as the other set measured 34 even though they were both 32 mm tires.

What can I say, out of all of the top race day-ready tubeless road tires, these are the best. I have rarely had any issues with puncture protection on these. These are fast, light, and have great road grip.

Always a pleasure getting out on these tires with great handling in all conditions and long life. My wife and I put big miles in and have been through quite a few of these over the years and they continue to perform to our high expectations.

This tire is the only one I race on the road. It is great for cornering and fast on the flats. Highly recommend.
Review by CanyonEndurace
Was looking forward to try out this brand, but so far not impressed with the look and quality of the transparent tires. The transparent brown lines are not straight, looks like the paint bled and making the wheels look, Meh. Does not look as good as the Schwalbe Pro one. I wish I could upload pictures.
Hoping it's as good The Schwalbe Pros that I had on which did a pretty good job for puncture resistance and sealing

BTD asked me a few months later to review this tire again. My first review was after 1500 miles use. I am riding on the 32mm wide version of this tire on Zipp Firecrest 303 wheels (25mm inner diameter) at 50/52 psi F/R. I weigh 185 lbs. They are both still wearing well after 4400 miles use. Wear dimples are still visible on both tires, moreso on the front tire than the rear tire. I have had no flats. I attribute the good wear to a big contact patch. I have only found two tiny nicks from road trash in the contact patch of the rear tire. Riding at 50 psi and a larger contact patch likely helps reduce penetration from debris. Sidewalls are in good condition. I still expect them to be rolling at 6000 miles for me.
Review by Garlic Funk Cyclist
I love the normal version of the GP5000. With my new hookless rim, I had to go to the TR version. It seems like a lot of money for a bike tire. So I tried the Pirelli P-Zero and a Michelin Power Cup TR. The Pzero lasted one 25 mile ride, then got a 1 inch slice all the way through the tire after running over some glass the next day. I have never seen any of my GP5000's do that. The Michelin lasted a bit longer, but still did not seem as puncture resistant as the GP5000 TR. I'm done testing other brands, and will just stick with my tried and true GP5000. They are worth the cost, and get less flats than most all of my riding buddies. Worth a little extra money for the peace of mind.

I've been using these on the road in 32mm, 30 mm and 28 mm. These used to be great tires but puncture resistance is now abysmal. Pinhole punctures that seal on other tires just don't on these and they can't be inflated to the right pressure.
This is not a single experience. It's happened for a few years in multiple sizes. Meanwhile, I've ridden a pair of Strade Bianca handmade clinchers on my gravel bike for over 2 years and they're covered with pinhole punctures that sealed.
I've been riding Continentals for 15 years, but I'm done. There are faster tires with better road feel, if you don't care about puncture resistance. They GP 5000 ASs may be more reliable, but I just don't feel like supporting this brand anymore.

I was wary of using the GP5000 because I've had issues with Conti tires in the past. This time I got them on my DT Swiss rims with very little hassle and they seated using an air compressor with no sealant inside. They roll extremely well and so far I've had no issues.

This tire is my gold standard that I haven't been able to replicate onto my gravel bike. This thing is tough, lasts forever, and looks great. This tire is my standard I measure all other road tires off of.
Review by Ronnie
I've been using Continental GP5000's for about a year and a half now, first 28mm and now 32mm.
These tires are great due to their excellent rolling resistance properties, have bettered my lap times just by changing to these tires. They can handle some form of compact, easy gravel but most of the time I ride on road.
Seating them on the rim is always the hardest part but I've put on and taken off about 8 pairs now for myself, and for 5 different rims and for other people. They inflate up easily all the time.
Love them and will continue riding them all year round (including wet springs and cold winters).
