I got the 32mm version for 3-season riding on roads. Despite being much wider than my previous tires they are fast, as long as they are pumped up to ~60psi. At that pressure they definitely help smooth out the bumps on bad city streets and they grip well on corners so they feel much more secure than narrower tires.
Review by Jeff Bertrem
I find this a Great tire for the price. I ride 3000 miles a year and have aways had great success with the Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire. Change them out every year with a new set.

Changed out my original stock Bontrager tired and replaced with these 5000S TR. Maybe it's part placebo but they feel so much faster and the ride quality is great. (Bicycle tire rolling resistance agrees with me). Best upgrade for your bike

So I put these tubeless on last week to replace my old tires that had 24000kms on them, and I never grow tired of the sound of new tires whirring up on the pavement as you speed up. New tires bring so much joy. And I have complete faith in these tires on descents and turns. Super grippy. In Conti we trust!
Review by Ricardo
Great tire, easy to install if you have an air compressor. These are the 2nd set of continentals that I have bought. Love them
Review by DMB
Inflated to 60f/67r psi these tires ride very well and have very good cornering and braking traction. No flats yet.
Review by Rob
Long time GP, GP 4000, and now GP 5000 TR tire user. For the weight, these are the most durable tires, long wearing and great grip. I'm 185 lbs and ride in the PNW, often crummy road surfaces and sometimes wet. I'm running 700x30 on 25mm internal width rims at 58/62 psi. These are still comfortable (I down sized from 32s) but, handle better on high speed turns, as I don't feel the tire flexing between the road and rim. The right tire, rim and PSI is crucial, and these are my numbers. I've ridden Schwalbe G1, Vredestein, Maxxis High Road, and top end Vittoria tires, but always go back to Continental GPs. Great tire, great ride.

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.

This tire hands down is the most consistent, well performing, long lasting tire I've ever raced/trained/ridden on.
I run tubeless, 700x32 on a 2021 Cannondale SuperSix with the HollowGram wheels. I run roughly 58PSI FR / 60PSI RR - in damp Seattle and it's great. Grippy, supple, comfortbale, and fast.
Typically I can get a full summer of heavy riding and racing from them, and swap over to the 5000 AS TR for the winter.
I race a lot of crits, some road courses, and train on them daily.
Review by chillcah
Really happy after changing to these! I'd previously used Vittoria Corsas and Pirelli PZeros.
Although I feel that the ride sensation of the Corsa's was the best of the bunch (they're absolutely glued to the road), the durability just isnt there. In my limited experience, it felt that punctures began at about 1000 miles.
With the GP5000s, the ride feel is nearly as good, and the durability is vastly superior. My rear tires do well until 2000 miles, at which point the wear indicators are usually completely gone so I swapped them. I swap the front at 3000 miles.
Overall very happy with them!

What more do you need to know in order to purchase Continental GP5000 STR tires yourself ?
By far the best tires on the market.
25 years ago I raced on Vittoria and Veloflex tubular tires. Then I transferred to a Specialized sponsored team which means I had the opportunity to race on custom made Specialized tubular tires and S works clincher tires. I can tell you that after a long break from being on the bike, I chose Continental GP 5000 STR tires to get a tubular like ride, But a more durable tire. Not to mention that the tire pressure is unbelievably low comparitivly speaking.
Review by JPZaskar
I've used most of the other major brands of tubeless bike tires (Pirelli, Vittoria, Schwalbe, Maxxis, Michelin) and the Continental GP 5000 S TR tires are far and away my favorites. They are an excellent combination of durability/long life, good rolling resistance and amazing ride quality. Also, they are sized so that the mount easily on every type of wheel that I own ... something that can be a real challenge with other tire/wheel combinations in my experience.
Review by Tulsa Tough Fondo Rider
As described, the Conti 5000GP TR picks up where the 4000 left off. I rode 4000's with tubes, thought they were great, but I was skeptical of the benefits of going tubeless. I was wrong! The ride provided by the 5000TR's is amazing. Supple, smooth, fast, grippy, and knock on wood, dependable. I have about 2500 miles on my first set without issue. There are some scuffs and scrapes, but so far no issues. I think the sealant has likely handled a few pin pricks along the way. I always make a effort to avoid debris, gravel, and potholes, but the roads here around Tulsa leave a lot to be desired. Admittedly I've left mounting and setup to my LBS, so I can't speak to difficulty or not of mounting. My only knock against the Conti 5000TR's is the price, but you get what you pay for in equipment, and BikeTiresDirect always helps take the edge off with sales and promotions.
Review by Six-O
This is my third review for the same set of black 32mm wide Conti 5000 S TR tires mounted on Zipp Firecrest 303 hookless (disk brake) wheels (25mm inner diameter). My first and second reviews at BTD were at about 1500 and 4400 miles use. I weigh 185 lbs. After several months use, I upped the tire pressures a few pounds when switching from Zipp's tire pressure calculator to Silca's TP calculator. I went from 50/52 psi F/R to 54/58 psi F/R. I replaced my rear tire at 7500 plus miles because the wear dots were beginning to disappear and the tire was aging. I am still running the original front tire which has 8600 plus miles on it. Its wear dots are still easily visible, but the tire does look aged. I am reasonably confident that I can run it to 10,000 miles, but I have replacements in my inventory that beckon to be mounted. I have not had a puncture on either tire or the new rear one, which now has 1100 miles on it. I do love the ride and handling of these tires over the 28mm GP 5000 clinchers (80/85 psi) mounted on alloy rims they replaced.
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,

These tires are perfect for my endurance road riding!
Review by Gilberto
Best all around tire for racing or training fast. Decent durability, get them on sale for best value.
Review by Bill
Fast and hold up well to the bumpy roads around where
Review by Mike
Fast and grippy. Had a puncture that self sealed without a problem during a ride. Plugged it when I got home.
