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

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.

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.

Very light! Wears well!

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!

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

The S TR, in my opinion, offers excellent rolling resistance, comfort, handling, and durability.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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 am using the 32mm size in the low 50 psi pressure range. The tires still roll nicely and smooth out a lot of bumps. They give me more confidence on roads with cracks. The lower pressure and wider contact patch probably reduces the likelihood of punctures. I've only had one puncture in two years riding - about 10,000 miles. A small piece of metal went completely through my rear tire and rattled around inside of it. I used two Dynaplugs to seal the hole and rode another 60 miles afterwards. Since the tire had about 4500 miles on it, I replaced it with a new one. I laid the new tire in the sun to warm it up and then installed in on the Zipp 303 Firecrest hookless wheel without too much effort after soaping the last section that needed to roll over the edge of the rim. I use heavy, grippy rubber gloves for this purpose. I look forward to installing them on my Roval CLX III wheels when the Specialized Turbos that came with my Tarmac SL8 wear out.

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

Bought these as my dry road tires for spring & summer riding. I knew they were more oriented towards high performace which is what I wanted since I ride in a fast pace group ride twice a week. However the loss of durability was more than I expected. Within the first two months the rear tire sidewall was ripped open by a small pothole. I purchased a replacement and then a few months later the other tire succomed to what I believe was internal cord breakage seperation. One section of the tire snaked back and forth. Plus, I stopped counting after twenty. For the first two months I was suffering from one at least one flat per week. I've had more flats this year with these tires than the last three years combined. I probably spent an equivalent amount of money on tubes as the tires themselves. I'm going back to the standard GP 5000 or perhaps trying something entirely new.

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.

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.
