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

Changed out my original stock Bontrager tired and replaced with these 5000S TR. Maybe it's part placebo but they feel so much faster and the ride quality is great. (Bicycle tire rolling resistance agrees with me). Best upgrade for your bike

I use these everyday. They mount up easy with my old hands only. Inflate easily and hold air like no other tire I've owned. They roll and corner very fast. I had another set from a major tire company and when I mounted and rode with these, I immediately felt I could corner better and roll faster. They were just a tad harsher which I think maybe because once mounted they were exactly 32 mm as the other set measured 34 even though they were both 32 mm tires.

These tires are fast as hell and look good too but they do wear kinda fast. Not gonna stop me from buying them again though!

What can you say bad about these tires? look good and roll fast!! best road tire on the planet.

This is not my first set of GP 5000s but it is my first tubeless set. They seem to be working as expected with no problems

As described, the Conti 5000GP TR picks up where the 4000 left off. I rode 4000's with tubes, thought they were great, but I was skeptical of the benefits of going tubeless. I was wrong! The ride provided by the 5000TR's is amazing. Supple, smooth, fast, grippy, and knock on wood, dependable. I have about 2500 miles on my first set without issue. There are some scuffs and scrapes, but so far no issues. I think the sealant has likely handled a few pin pricks along the way. I always make a effort to avoid debris, gravel, and potholes, but the roads here around Tulsa leave a lot to be desired. Admittedly I've left mounting and setup to my LBS, so I can't speak to difficulty or not of mounting. My only knock against the Conti 5000TR's is the price, but you get what you pay for in equipment, and BikeTiresDirect always helps take the edge off with sales and promotions.

BTD asked me a few months later to review this tire again. My first review was after 1500 miles use. 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 still wearing well after 4400 miles use. Wear dimples are still visible on both tires, moreso on the front tire than the rear tire. I have had no flats. I attribute the good wear to a big contact patch. I have only found two tiny nicks from road trash in the contact patch of the rear tire. Riding at 50 psi and a larger contact patch likely helps reduce penetration from debris. Sidewalls are in good condition. I still expect them to be rolling at 6000 miles for me.

I love the normal version of the GP5000. With my new hookless rim, I had to go to the TR version. It seems like a lot of money for a bike tire. So I tried the Pirelli P-Zero and a Michelin Power Cup TR. The Pzero lasted one 25 mile ride, then got a 1 inch slice all the way through the tire after running over some glass the next day. I have never seen any of my GP5000's do that. The Michelin lasted a bit longer, but still did not seem as puncture resistant as the GP5000 TR. I'm done testing other brands, and will just stick with my tried and true GP5000. They are worth the cost, and get less flats than most all of my riding buddies. Worth a little extra money for the peace of mind.

I've been using these on the road in 32mm, 30 mm and 28 mm. These used to be great tires but puncture resistance is now abysmal. Pinhole punctures that seal on other tires just don't on these and they can't be inflated to the right pressure.

This is not a single experience. It's happened for a few years in multiple sizes. Meanwhile, I've ridden a pair of Strade Bianca handmade clinchers on my gravel bike for over 2 years and they're covered with pinhole punctures that sealed.

I've been riding Continentals for 15 years, but I'm done. There are faster tires with better road feel, if you don't care about puncture resistance. They GP 5000 ASs may be more reliable, but I just don't feel like supporting this brand anymore.

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).

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

Mounted easily on rims. Inflated width on 26 mm internal rim width is 33.5 mm.

Great tires which are my choice but have gotten expensive dive so look for a sale. Tubeless mounted easily and are true to size.

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.

Great all around tire. Not the fastest (but close enough), but great grip, puncture protection, and good durability compared to other performance tires.

Great weight, rolling resistance, and protection. I don't even try other road tires.

few other tires come close to the gp5000 in terms of rolling resistance and durability. I almost always run these and probably always will

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 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.

I got the 32mm version for 3-season riding on roads. Despite being much wider than my previous tires they are fast, as long as they are pumped up to ~60psi. At that pressure they definitely help smooth out the bumps on bad city streets and they grip well on corners so they feel much more secure than narrower tires.
