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

After about a 1-year side-trip trying Pirelli Pirelli P Zero Race TLR, back on Grand Prix 5000 S TR. There is a familiarity factor but also a confidence factor being on tires you love. The Pirelli's were fine tires (if a little delicate), I just prefer the Conti's. About 1,500 miles on them thus far, they're still looking and riding great.

The GP5000 is a racing tire that works very well for high performance. Being designed for that purpose also means it last most of a season of regular use. Being tubeless ready allows for different wheel configurations to meet my training/racing needs.

I've tried a few different tires over the years but always come back to these. Reliable, good grip, good feel, mount fairly easily on hookless rims.

This is going to be a little different... I saw a video on youtube with Caden from Caden wheels explaining how he used sealant in TPU tubes with tubeless tires. Not TPU specific sealant, just tubeless sealant. He claimed the sealant lasted longer because there wasn't as much evaporation from inside the TPU tube and that the chances of a burp flat went dramatically down.

I decided to try it and here's the result so far. TPU tubes in this tire with sealant have been flat free through the Tour de Tucson and several hundred miles more. These tires roll and corner great and have been reliable. I won't know if I've gotten any punctures until I get one that's so big the sealant won't fill it or I take the tire off to replace it, but so far Caden has been right.

These are my go-to's as they tick all the boxes. They are lighter and more comfortable than the AS version (I use 35s on my Fray & Seven...and until now the 35s only came in the AS version). I rarely ever have flats and they last really well. Well done, Continental!

These are more expensive and less comfortable than the Schwalbe Pros. My Schwalbes were wearing thin and I figured I'd give these a try as a friend really likes them and Tadej uses them. But I found the Schwalbes to be far more comfortable. The Schwalbes are also cheaper. Both tires were easy enough to mount. Durability also seems about equal. I'm going back to the Schwalbes when these wear out!

Very light! Wears well!

The chili compound perform pretty wheel it's a good balance in between weight, puncture and rolling

Great ride feel. Wears like iron = 4,000+ miles till replaced. Transparent make a black road bike look fast. Downside: REALL, hard to get over the rim when installing.

I love the Continental Grand Prix 5000 S Tr tires, they are easy to mount, and they bead up nicely. They are fast, smooth, and long wearing tire, I am on my second set of these, and don't think I will switch to anything different.

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.

I have used Pirelli and Vittoria but I always come back to continental. Quality is unmatche, rolling resistance superb and puncture protection is as good as it gets on this segment

I've ridden Continental Grand Prix tires for many years. They have always been reliable, fast and smooth. The tubeless S T's take them to another level of smoothness, quiet ride and traction.

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.

My goto tire... Durable enough to use as an everyday training tire yet great performance on race day! Low rolling resistance and a supple good cornering tire. A little pricey but a great tire that does it all.

Just as you'd expect from a product handmade in Germany, these tires are premium. I'm sure the TT version would save a few more watts, but the added puncture protection of the "standard" TR version has been great so far. Running them with lower pressures thanks to a tubeless setup has improved my ride quality by orders of magnitude from the days when I used butyl inner tubes.

What can I say'.these are still the best overall. I do wish they lasted longer with the same rolling resistance and grip but'I use the on the rear (28) with the 111 (29) on the front. I always seem to come back to Continental.

Love these tires. Run them tubeless and have never had any issues. I love them. They roll fast and accelerate easily.

great ride no flats wish a little cheaper and prefer the black sidewall look

Have used these tires for four years now. Never had an issue!
