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

Two years using these exclusively now. Not one flat. I have got the hang of seating them, I have accepted that the harder they are to put on the more secure I am. For the price I wish they lasted longer but I love the feel and ride.

Started running tubeless on my road bike and these tires are great. I've always loved the tubed version, and these are just as good (if not better). At the risk of jinxing myself I have not had any punctures and they were actually fairly easy to mount and to seat without an air compressor.

I spent years racing on tubulars and finally decided after retiring from racing to switch to tubeless tires. I am so glad that I chose the Continental S TR Road tires in 28 mm. Honestly they were difficult to get on my DT Swiss 1400 wheels, Once on the wheels they aired up without an issue. I can dial the air pressure in based on my training rides. Wahoo

Durable and light . Easy to mount on tubeless rims. Bead seals firmly to rim. I use these tires training and racing with good results.

I got a 25mm pair put on my ENVE 3.4s and did my normal training route and at the end of my ride, I had a feeling of utter joy and mind you, I've done this is the training circuit countless times for several years!

I have the 25mm in tubeless on both my bikes in black and transparent. This new version of the 5K S TR is really just bliss. My set that is now one year old shows no little to no cuts, and has never needed a dynaplug, knock on wood!

I really love these tires and they rank just above the Schwable Pro One tubeless setup.

My advice is that you will need a slick of soap in the stubborn part of the tire to get it up and over the rim wall lip. These tires are certainly hard to put on but after using a tiny bit of soap and my rubber palm mechanics gloves from climbing the cables on Half Dome in Yosemite. The tire snapped right into my rim brake ENVE 3.4 SES with a few hard goes of gripping the tire with my palm shove method, my thumbs alone weren't strong enough.

Added some Orange Seal Endurance, blasted them with my Lezyne chamber pump and hit my hilly training circuit with more joy than words can describe.

The tires were smooth, supple and confident. I really loves the feel of them and now have them on both my road bikes!

If you're switching to tubeless, this is the spring/summer tire for you. Supple, smooth, durable, and super easy to mount. Rides well in damp conditions; haven't tried in the true wet of Oregon.

Bought these to replace my worn out Schwalbe pros. I've used GP tires in the past eg...GP4000 clincher, GP5000 clincher etc...Decided to try the new GP5000 TLR since I've heard great reviews of their previous version. Mounting was easy for my specific rim. Everything was going ok . After a couple hundred miles, notice the pressure wouldn't hold as well as the Schwalbe's did. Probably lose around 30-40 psi per week. Unfortunately one day I ran over maybe 11 thorns on my usual 40 miler. Must be bad luck. 8 out of the 11 sealed. I always carry a hand pump so eventually limped home. Used soap and bubble to find the tiny punctures. Decided to check the side walls too and low and behold found multiple micro leaks on both sides. Checked the other tire and same thing. Switched to Pirelli's and so far so good.

Super fast rolling tire.

I use 28mm size

Use a good sealant like the Silca stuff and they are fantastic.

I have had a 5mm hole in the tread when I used Stan's and they would not seal to anything above 25/30psi.

No match for broken glass on a sidewall though.

but I stress that these are fast and sticky tires!

Only "problem" is the price, however if hookless rims are what you use, this is THE tire to beat.

Very good combination of ride quality and durability.

Although I'm old and have weak, arthritic hands, these tires mounted easily, without tools. I have almost 2500 miles on my current set, and will likely ride them for a few hundred more.

I live in a small west coast city where about 1/2 the population is now homeless, living in a variety of tents, tarp shacks, and lean-tos made out of stolen building materials. As a result, all the bike paths and lanes are littered with broken glass, needles, and other various bits of sharp junk that cause punctures. These tires have had at least 10 punctures (small and large), but they have always sealed. They have saved me many times, coming or going from work, from having to change a tube, on a dark, isolated bike path.

I will most certainly buy these tires again.

I've been riding road bikes for 25 years and used many different brands and styles of tires within brands. I generally like Continentals but these are the hardest tires to mount and dismount on rims I've ever encountered. It took me half an hour trying to mount these stubborn tires on my front rim and longer on the back rim. I can usually change a flat in less than two minutes. Pinched a tube on the back, broke a tire lever, tore up my hands, and scratched my rims. I could not imagine trying to change these on the road. Do yourself a favor and do NOT even consider these. Besides they are priced so high.

This is my second set of Grand Prix 5000str tires. I'm sold on this product. I really appreciate the grip that these tires have going into and out of a corner with speed. It's a real confidence booster.

I have the Grand Prix 5000 tubeless and feel it worth every penny.

Got a puncture/ slash last week which was leaking. But'. It sealed itself after a while and I've been riding consistently.

I'm a fan.

This replaces my old GP5000 TL 700x30 with 2500 miles and rubber is starting to get harder.

I ordered STR in 700x28 and immediate notice improve handling and confidence and allow me to take a corner faster. I had a accidentally rollover some glass and sharp rocks and this Conti kept me rolling.

Tried other tires like Pirelli PZero TLR, flats within 300 miles, Schwalbe Pro 1, GY, but GP5000 STR is the best for me so far for reliability, speed and handling.

California's Central Valley might be flat but the adjacent Sierra Mountains are not. Riding from home I get a great mix of flat terrain and climbs of up to 14% - 16% and even 19%.

The GP 5000S TR has very low rolling resistance, excellent durability and climbs, descends and corners better than any tire I have ridden.

I highly recommend this tire.

Very happy with the tires. I was able to mount myself and actually complete a successful tubeless setup. Love these tires. Purchased a few for backups. The Tan walls are beautiful!!! I will purchase again.

So far so good. I'm running a tubeless set up with vittoria inserts around 75psi. Grip and road feel are great. I haven't tested it in the rain (since I live in CA). About 500 miles and no issues other than having to repump the psi more often than I would like to do. To be fair I don't know if that's the tire our my sealant. I would had rated higher if prices were a bit lower.

Much easier to mount than my previous GP5k TL tires. Still far from the easiest, but not nearly as many cuss words, beer and planetary alignment required to get these things on. Fast as always, pretty resistant to punctures and a nice ride. Conti continues to impress me.

I had great experience using Contintental's GP line of clincher tires and this tire in tubeless configure delivers on that promise. These were easy to seat on the initial install. These tires perform just as well as the Vittoria Corsa TLRs that preceded them and they seem to be a bit more durable as well. Even on sale, they are pricey, hence only 4 stars on value.

First.

I have ridden Continental 5000 tube tires for 15 years. Loved them.

Between my wife and I we crushed 3 pairs of the Continental 5000 TL tubeless tires. Run into the cords without a single flat! Super great.

The new version Continental 5000TR is plain awful. We had six of them two months ago. One went 650 miles without a flat - the record. The other five failed within 150 miles. None are repairable.

These tires cut like playdoh. No hole is too small to fail.

I'm tempted to cut a plug and run a test to see if there is any aramid (Kevlar) cord. I think there is none.

My advice - buy the 5000 TL if you find it. Never buy the 5000 TR. bad bad bad

Any claims of product improvement are lies. These suck.
