SUPERB PERFORMANCE AND INCREDIBLY EASY TO MOUNT

I initially purchased these tires to obtain maximum speed in an upcoming bicycling event. They delivered and seemed very fast, but this is subjective. I'm not able to quantify whether they're faster than other tires. That is, I don't have any way of measuring their speed against that of other tires.

I can quantify that they are incredibly easy to mount. I was able to mount them by just pushing them over the rim with my hands. I didn't need tires irons. The best part is that although I am running them tubeless, they inflated with great ease. I didn't need an air compressor or similar device to get them to seat. Instead, I just attached the pump to the valve stem and began pumping. They inflated very easily, just the same as tires with tubes. I didn't have to take any special steps to get them to seat.

I have not had any flats with them, but this could be to luck and/or the sealant doing its job.

Their only negative is that they seem to wear-out a little faster than some other tires and they are a little expensive. That's why I gave them only four stars for value.

Thank you for your feedback.

race day favorite

it feels like a fast and very grippy tire, however it's not very sturdy. I got a flat on my second ride, less than 150 miles overall (it was the sidewall that got a hole, i assume from some kind of pinching). Definitely great for race day, not so much for everyday training.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best road tire?

This is an awesome road tire - almost unbeatably low rolling resistance, and pretty decent puncture resistance with a good sealer (Orange or Silca). Just don't buy them at full boat price, as over $100 for a bike tire is pretty insane. Wait for a sale for under $90, and preferably under $80.

Yes, the tread is thinner than an S-TR, but if you have them mounted on wide, aero wheels, you will be wearing a flat spot onto the tread long before those are worn out, or just losing grip from the rubber degrading from time in the sun. There really isn't a downside to the TT TR, unless you like to run your tires until they show threads.

Thank you for your feedback.

Tubeless and fast!

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 TT TR Road Tire is great match for my Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels. The balance of grip, rolling resistance and weight is unmatched for the tire's weight.

Bought it at a reasonable price vs. MSRP.

Thank you for your feedback.

The Continental name stands for quality

True to historic performance, I�ve used Continental tires for training / racing throughout my career. I�ve used others, but keep coming to back to Continental for its durability, speed, and overall quality.

Thank you for your feedback.

Love the Dancing Shoes

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 TT TR Road Tire is fit for race day. Supple, low rolling resistance and holds the line when you dive into the corners. They installed on my Zipp 404's with relative ease. The sea was good.

I do not use it for training everyday rides. Even though I have not had a flat with it after 450 miles of "big boy" riding.

Have fun with these shoes. They have performed to my expectations.

Thank you for your feedback.
