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

So I put these tubeless on last week to replace my old tires that had 24000kms on them, and I never grow tired of the sound of new tires whirring up on the pavement as you speed up. New tires bring so much joy. And I have complete faith in these tires on descents and turns. Super grippy. In Conti we trust!

Great tire, easy to install if you have an air compressor. These are the 2nd set of continentals that I have bought. Love them

Inflated to 60f/67r psi these tires ride very well and have very good cornering and braking traction. No flats yet.

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.

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.

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!

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.

These tires are perfect for my endurance road 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.

Best all around tire for racing or training fast. Decent durability, get them on sale for best value.

Fast and hold up well to the bumpy roads around where

Fast and grippy. Had a puncture that self sealed without a problem during a ride. Plugged it when I got home.

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?

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.

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.
