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

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.

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 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.

They are the best tubeless tires by far

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I've used Continental tires for years. Went tubeless a few years ago and will never go back to tubes. I've now gone through two sets of the new GP 5000 S TR tires. As with all Continentals, they are very difficult to mount, especially on my Mavic rims. And they are pricier than the original GP 5000 tubeless. With local roads getting worse (potholes after recent heavy rains) I've gone to larger 700 X 30s. Ride is comfortable. One word of advice: if you run tubeless, make sure you carry repair plugs. I use Dynaplug.

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.

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!

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.

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.

It has been a while since I last used continental tires. I wish I would have switched back a long time ago. These tires live up to the hype. I feel at one carving and descending unlike the other brand I was currently using. 10/10
