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

I really like the feel of this tire in 32mm running tubeless at 62psi. I ride on mostly dedicated paved bike trails and roads with surface ranging from worn out chip seal to freshly paved. I trust them on speedy Colorado descents. That said I have had issues with glass punctures impacting longevity. Of the last 6 GP5000 STR's I've ran, 3 of them had to be changed due to punctures not normal tire wear. But, I keep buying them'.

I've been using Continental GP5000's for about a year and a half now, first 28mm and now 32mm.

These tires are great due to their excellent rolling resistance properties, have bettered my lap times just by changing to these tires. They can handle some form of compact, easy gravel but most of the time I ride on road.

Seating them on the rim is always the hardest part but I've put on and taken off about 8 pairs now for myself, and for 5 different rims and for other people. They inflate up easily all the time.

Love them and will continue riding them all year round (including wet springs and cold winters).

I use them on my TT bike as I compete in Olympic and 70.3 triathlon races, building towards a full Ironman. I needed a quality tire that will reduce resistance and increase speed while also reduce punctures. I could immediately feel a difference, which boosts my confidence on the bike.

Bought a set as spares/future tires after the second set of Challenge PRO Strada's wore off. My bike came with the Challenges and I loved them! Absolutely the supplest tire I have EVER ridden. Got 1,000-ish miles on them before all the fibers started fraying on the sidewalls. I had bought a spare set of those despite all the reviews of the impossible difficulty in mounting them simply because of the ride quality; after spending a little over an hour to mount each tire(!) and that after trying all the tricks, I was rewarded with the sublime ride and a tread cut ON THE FIRST RIDE. So I ordered a set of Conti 5000S TRs. Put them on this last weekend and rode them for the first time today (27 July). Impressions below:

1. EASY to mount; 700x30 tire on Astral Radiant wheels; a little less than an hour to install BOTH tires

2. Lose a little air overnight; same as the Challenge tires

3. Maximum pressure is 73 psi vice the 65 psi on the Challenge; a little more room to try higher pressures for the big/fat rider

4. At 66 psi front and rear, the ride is very very good. It is not sublime like the Challenges. It is compliant and solid, but nowhere near as supple (that was expected)

5. (Hopefully) longer wearing; I am used to getting anywhere between 3K and 5K miles out of the Gatorskins with the tubes inside; rotate the tires=get more miles

6. Price is a virtual tie

I think I may give the Schwalbe Pro ONE TLEs a try, too

I have not had one flat tire since going tubeless with this continental tire. I ride on average, 5000 a year. I get that many miles out of a set of tires. I love the wear indicators. I do think they are more difficult to mount, they seem to be a tighter a fit. I will continue to go with the tires that haven't failed me yet.

If you're on the fence' or your spouse is trying to convince you otherwise' just do it. You won't regret having free speed and excellent tires. They even plug nicely if you get an unfortunate shot of glass like I did on my last TT training ride.

I am riding on the 32mm wide version of this tire on Zipp Firecrest 303 wheels (25mm inner diameter) at 50/52 psi F/R. I weigh 185 lbs. They are both wearing well after 1500 miles use. The front tire still shows a trace of the casting seam in the middle of the contact surface, but not the back. Wear dimples are still visible on both tires. I have only found two tiny nicks from road trash in the contact patch of the rear tire. Sidewalls are in pristine condition. They roll very well and are extremely comfortable. I thought I was on a new bike after replacing 28mm tubed Conti GP5000 S tires on Mavic rims with 17mm ID. I expect the front tire to last for over 6,000 miles, perhaps much more. One of my Conti GP5000 S tubed 28mm tires lasted 10,000 miles before I replaced it. I have front and back ones still rolling with 8400 miles. I hope to get similar life out of these tubeless ready tires.

Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire

These tires are the best option for my road bike.

My GP 5000's have provided outstanding rides for over 5000 rugged miles. The roads I ride are very tough and I have not had a flat. I'm also impressed with how much easier my GP 5000's are to get on my Roval wheelset.

Loved these.

I ride mix of road and gravel (steep logging roads in PNW) so this was a new kind of tire for me. I wanted it for riding in the Pyrenees, went to ride and watch the 5 stages there this year for the Tour.

These were perfect. long days on mostly road with huge vert up and down. Super comfy and confident on the ripper decents.

Been riding these for a long time in various forms. From clincher 700x21's to these tubeless 28's. Always a good fast tire.

Ride on Maui, lots of debris in bike lane, rough roads. Flats every month. Thought Gatorskins would help. NOPE. Then bought a new Canyon with Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR. Have had two flats in 18 months. Well worth the extra cost and less hassle. Only Ride 50-60 mi/wk, but a huge difference.

Been riding Conti GP's for years. Got the TR version when I bought my tubeless wheelset. These are just as good as every previous GP's. Super comfortable, great traction, seem to be wearing well. Why ride anything else?

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.

Always a pleasure getting out on these tires with great handling in all conditions and long life. My wife and I put big miles in and have been through quite a few of these over the years and they continue to perform to our high expectations.

What can I say, out of all of the top race day-ready tubeless road tires, these are the best. I have rarely had any issues with puncture protection on these. These are fast, light, and have great road grip.

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!

Best traction and puncture resistance of any tire on the market. And, the best prices on BTD!

Just mounted these on some new wider carbon wheels; phenomenal ride at 6 bar. I love these tires!

Awesome tires
