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

They are the best tubeless tires by far

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.

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.

So far in Oregon these tires have been great. I've only had about 100 miles on them, but they have a good feel.

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.

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!

Was looking forward to try out this brand, but so far not impressed with the look and quality of the transparent tires. The transparent brown lines are not straight, looks like the paint bled and making the wheels look, Meh. Does not look as good as the Schwalbe Pro one. I wish I could upload pictures.

Hoping it's as good The Schwalbe Pros that I had on which did a pretty good job for puncture resistance and sealing

I was wary of using the GP5000 because I've had issues with Conti tires in the past. This time I got them on my DT Swiss rims with very little hassle and they seated using an air compressor with no sealant inside. They roll extremely well and so far I've had no issues.

This tire is my gold standard that I haven't been able to replicate onto my gravel bike. This thing is tough, lasts forever, and looks great. This tire is my standard I measure all other road tires off of.

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.

Can't say much more about the conti 5000 S TR other than they're comfortable at lower pressures, don't seem to have any issues with them. Have had a couple of flats most likely due to all the garbage, glass, metal shards etc on the roads from winter, but when riding a clean road the tires do what they're supposed to.

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.

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.

The road feel is great. They're comfortable, feel fast and have good grip. However, the puncture protection is not great. I get too many punctures, it was never a problem with the regular GP5000 with latex tubes.

According to BRR, the transparent version performs worse than the black one. Maybe that's the case. I'll give it a try with the black ones, but I'd probably be switching to another tire or brand.

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.

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire is on my list as the best tires for my club racing. At pressures I run 73/69 psi, the feel is very responsive without a harsh ride. I use them with a Zipp 303 FC rims and they have a smooth profile. Don't know the science, but love the ride.

Best tire on the market, love these. Have good puncture resistance and the tan sidewalls are sick

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.
