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

Won't buy anything else. Lasts 2000 miles +. Hardly ever flat with these

The tubeless journey started with the MTB tires and then I tried the road tires. This new version of the Grand Prix is superb. I have acquired the appropriate tools and I can now change this tire in my garage in 5-10 minutes. Check out the Park Tool wheel block, it makes it much easier to get the needed leverage. I have been using Orange Seal Endurance without incident. The occasional puncture gives off a little spray and then seals. I'm talking 4k miles this year without a ride ending flat. I ride in Central Oregon on chip seal and on local mountain roads with debris and pot holes and snow plow gouges. I continue to lower the pressure on the tires until this year 64 front and 70 rear. I'm 189 pounds and this has significantly softened the ride.

The tires are great. For a point of reference, I ride them on a Canyon Endurace - carbon fiber frame, aluminum wheels and Di2 drivetrain. 700x28. They are fast but, still smooth. A more comfortable ride than Gatorskins. They're very grippy. I'm taking corners and descending with these like perhaps and old man shouldn't. I did over time end up with gashes that wouldn't seal and had tubes in both tires before the wear indicators were all the way down. It's my third set so, I definitely like them. I weigh 210 lbs (95ish kg) and they last me 1500 to 2000 miles.

Bought black 30cs for aesthetics and speed.

I've been using GP5000STR 32c and Corsa Pro 30c. GP5ks are much more reliable and puncture-resistant. Although crosa pros do have a better road feel and the side walls look nice, I go back to GP5Ks just want to deal with maintenance less. Also when you want a full black tire there is the option available from Conti.

I outfitted my new dream road bike with these pricey tires, and I have nearly 1400 mi on these 28C tires without a single flat, despite frequently being unable to avoid rolling through broken glass on Chicago streets, so I'm impressed with the puncture resistance. Indeed, the tires are remarkably unscarred considering the miles. Similarly, the rear tire is showing minimal wear despite my 215 lbs, so I'm also impressed with tread wear. Together with the sweet ride, these are the best-performing Contis I've ever ridden, and I anticipate that they will serve me well beyond my typical life cycle of 2500mi for road tires except... Unfortunately, the loss of 2 stars in my rating is due to the regular appearance of threads peeling from the sidewalls approximately 5mm from the rim on my Enve SES 3.4s at what appears to be a subtle seam line. The threads of up to several inches in length fray from the sidewall of both front and rear tires, indicating the issue is not unique to a single tire. I trim away the loose ends, rather than pulling them due to concern for somehow compromising the tire. I've ridden mostly Contis for the last 40,000mi, and I've never experienced this issue with Conti road tires or any other tires on any of my bikes. Very disappointing for a pricey tire that's otherwise worth every penny!

Great tires! According to Bicycle Rolling Resistance they are very good, and at a price that isn't astronomical they are a great value. I use them on my road bike and live on a dirt road so they are ridden on dirt just about every day. I rarely get punctures and they last a long time.

It may just be psychosomatic, but I swear these tires added a mile an hour to my average times. Love the ride quality. They're excellent in the rain when it's wet. I've been running Stan's slime in them and haven't had a flat yet. Plenty of holes that have self patched while riding.

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 spring I finally switched to tubeless tires on my road bike and I am loving the difference it is making for me. I am riding on the Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR tires. I rod over 3,000 miles this summer without a single flat. Additionally the decrease in rolling resistance has been noticeable. I really like these tires.

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.

20,000 miles on S TR tires size 25. Never a flat. I will switch to 28s next time. There is only a small weight penalty and I'll get a better ride. A bit pricey but I get 4000 miles out of back tires and 8000 miles out of the front tire.

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.

BTD is by far my go to online bike shop

Fast shipping and a great selection of products

Easy return policy

I've ridden tubeless road tires since 2006 and at that time and for many years Hutchinson was the go to tire. As new tires came on the market I road a bunch but let going back. Until now. These Continentals are the new standard - supple, comfortable, fit to my wheels, contact and handling along with durability. Very nice!

Fast and hookless compatible. My go-to tire for all my bikes. Recently switched to GP5000 AS TR for my casual bike (Aethos) and realized how much faster the S TRs are. When you catch them on sale, stock up. Can never go wrong with some S TRs.

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.

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.
