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

After 1k miles ridden on this tires I can say Conti 5000 S TR new tire is better than old 5000 one. Feels like is faster, more supple and have better grip probably due to lower pressure. Max tire pressure for 700x30 is listed 70psi but since its made for tubless setup - shall be fine for even for heavier riders. No flats or cuts or other issues so far and based on regular tear and wear seems like I can squeeze more miles from those, compare to the previous Conti 5000`s.

I decided to try out a pair of these tires based upon reviews that I had read.

I must say that from a performance perspective the lived up the hype. Grippy and fast. Although the ride seemed to be a bit harsher than what I experienced with the Enve tires I had ridden previously.

What I don't like is that they seem to be more prone to punctures & cuts than my Enves. The surfaces I ride are primarily chip seal, so sharp little rocks are the norm for these types of roads.

After 4 weeks, I've already had to replace one of my tires due to a cut, that couldn't be plugged. I rode my Enves on these same roads with no significant issues.

I'm giving these tires a 2nd chance but will find something else to ride, if they continue to cut & puncture so easily.

This is probably my fifth or sixth set of Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tires, and they continue to impress. It's the perfect all-around tire. I race almost every weekend, and it's a relief to use the same tire for both training and racing. No need for separate training and racing wheels with tubular tires'those can be such a hassle!

I've been running versions of the 5000 for 15 years. This is my first mount of the tubeless version. For me, they mounted easily on my Giant SL1's. I ride faster on these 30mm than on the fondo 32mm's that my Defy Advanced Pro came with. No flats. I run 60 to 65 psi front and back. More than satisfied.

I've seen great performance from these tires in the 30mm width running tubeless on a wide carbon rim. On road they roll fast and feel like a magic carpet. Very grippy. On broken tarmac they soak up the bumps and on gravel they endure way better than they should. So far no punctures after about 1k miles and they still hold pressure for days. I found them no more difficult than other tubeless tires to mount. Technique is key. Study some online videos to make the task easier.

I had previous experience with the 32mm tubeless GP5000 on a gravel bike with 38mm rims. On very unscientific downhill rolling tests, I would consistently gap riders on road bikes -- I chalked up the surprising downhill speed to the higher weight of the gravel bike.

Going to an aero road bike I first used 28mm tubeless Vittoria Corsas. Seemed fine, but when I was ready to replace them and wanted 30mm tires, the GP5000s were the only easily available option.

Again, not a scientific comparison, but there's every indication that the 30mm Contis are faster than the 28mm Vittorias. First ride with the Contis was no big deal, but once scrubbed in they really started to shine. It felt like going from the Vittorias to the Contis was like going from the gravel bike to the aero road bike -- the Contis are that good. Possibly a good mile-an-hour faster or more.

Grip and comfort are excellent (rider+bike=175lbs; front 58 PSI, rear 62 PSI). I don't bother mounting my own TL tires -- it's always a struggle on my Reserve wheels so I let a shop take care of it, especially with their air compressor. That said, I struggled to even get one side of the Contis over the rim; they're extremely tight.

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.

These tires are my favorites. Long lasting great rolling resistance and good grip on the road.

Smooth ride, durable, sticky. Ride as tubeless and while they require some skill to mount, they stay on. Hit a hole hard enough to bend an aluminum rim without deflating or unmounting.

I've tried many tires, most are good. These are just good in all the areas. Rolling resistance, durability and grip. I have 100% confidence when leaning into a corner, whether dry or wet.

good and fast tires

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!

GP 5000 tire - balance, performance, and durability in the absolute best package. BTD always has the best prices and exceptional service.

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.

Fairly difficult to mount, like the Challenges, but buy the Challenge tire mounting tool and two Schwalbe tire

levers with the rim clip, you'll get them on! I think the ride is not as supple as the Vitoria's or Challenge tires,

(700cx30mm) but I can live with them. Installed tubeless with Finish Line sealant, they hold air for 2-3 months.

Great looking with the tan sidewall

I've used Continental tires for over 15 years, starting with Gator Skins for my tubed tires. 7 years ago I went tubeless with Mavic wheels. I was able to mount the older Continental tubeless tires, but with a lot of effort. I now have Mavic Ksyrium Elite Disc UST rims. Today I tried to mount the new version Continental tubeless tires 700X30C. I couldn't event get close to mounting them, even the first side. I'll go to my local bike shop for help tomorrow. FYI, the bike shop has told me that Mavic rims are difficult for mounting, depending on the tire type. I love Continentals as being very durable tires. But if you go tubeless, don't even try to mount them yourself.

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.

I've used Continental tires for years. Went tubeless a few years ago and will never go back to tubes. I've now gone through two sets of the new GP 5000 S TR tires. As with all Continentals, they are very difficult to mount, especially on my Mavic rims. And they are pricier than the original GP 5000 tubeless. With local roads getting worse (potholes after recent heavy rains) I've gone to larger 700 X 30s. Ride is comfortable. One word of advice: if you run tubeless, make sure you carry repair plugs. I use Dynaplug.
