ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I had been searching for a tire that would not get punctures when I rode vaguely near some piece of detritus with an edge or a point. I had tried other highly rated tires but with no success. The Continental Grand Prix 4K & now 5K do the trick. I imagine they are heavier than some but I can live with that. They are a bit pricey, but since I have to replace them less often, I'm probably not actually spending more. I certainly get a lot fewer flats which makes riding far more fun. As long as Continental keeps up the quality, I'll keep buying them.

Like many, I used the 4000s II for years and loved them. This newer version has less tread thickness and costs more. I bought them based on my experience with the previous model, but cannot recommend them due to changes in manufacturing and the price. There are more 700C sizes available in this model and the graphics are smaller and more appealing to me. It is still a good tire but Continental has not advanced the model technologically as much as the introduction of Black Chili compound did years ago.

There is nothing negative to say. This tire rolls effortlessly fast. Wears well and is very stable. I would absolutely purchase again.

With or without tubes these are faster and I'm a long time GP4000 user. Beware their sizing has changed so the tires are actually as wide as the label. In other words GP4000 28's are the same size as GP5000 32's. This goes for the entire line. By one size larger to get same size as 4000's

Perfect combo of durability and performance!

Excellent tire,nice comfort.

Great price ??

The tan-yellow sidewalls look great on my black bike. Performance is typical for GP5000 - which is to say good to great.

This tire has legendary status for a reason. Checks a lot of boxes: durability, feel, rolling resistance. Been running this model and its ancestors a long time, have tried others, but always come back to this one.

I have ridden Continental for years, maybe decades now. The technology keeps getting better. I ride mostly road and road conditions can be messy. 5000 is even better. I ride 25mm and can go through most road debris that gets pushed onto the road shoulders. I have confidence in these tires.

This tire very rugged and has superior puncture resistance. It grips the road very well to give an unparalleled feel when riding in practically any outdoor conditions. Regardless of your preference for tubeless or tubes performance is never lacking.

Best price found online. Shipping was quick. Figment was a bit tricky, but once in place the tan walls made my bike look nice and roll a bit faster. Steel is real.

I recently switched to the Continental Grand Prix 5000 and I'm very happy with my purchase. I've ridden about 800 KM with these tires and the grip is excellent and has performed well in the rain. I live in a city where wet weather can come unexpectedly and it's reassuring to know that these tires can perform well in wet conditions.

I used this tire on a week long tour of Wyoming backroads. I also installed a 28 Conti Gatorskin on the rear. I am very impressed with both as I had zero punctures on the ride while my fellow tourists suffered many punctures. The tires replaced a pair of Vittoria Corsa tires with excellent road feel but suffered many cuts and the Conti's were 95% as nice riding as the Vittorias. I am a new Conti fan

Personally, I think these are the best tires money can buy. The are comfortable to ride, easy to install, withstand punctures and last. I road them across the US with only two flats, through gravel, country pothole roads, highways, 246,00+ grasshoppers,... etc. A great tire.

BTD rocked it with this deal

I am a daily fitness rider who rides at least 30 miles each morning. This is my second set of Continental Grand prix 5000's and I have been very happy with them. They are resistant to flats, corner well and are very dependable, lasting around 5000 miles even through a Boston winter. Bought them on sale for a good price and expect for them to last me the rest of this year and into next year as well.

I have been using the GP5000s on three different bikes and I love them. To me, they are such a good, all-around performer. They are fast, durable, and puncture resistant. GP5000s are my go-to tire now.

Top of the line for Continental. I have been using this tire only for several years now, and they are great !

Comfortable ride, roll resistance, and all around smooth and great riding tire.

Strongly recommend. Like their description says..."Lazer grip and Active Comfort". Totally agree !

Buy them !

Continental 4000,s 5000s, Black Chili compound are my go to tires. I average 2,300 t0 3,000 miles a season, which is somewhat short in Maine.

Avid road cyclist, loved the old continental 4000, these new continental 5000 are horrible. The wear is ridicules, 1k miles an they are significant wear on tread. All kinds of cuts an side wall shows seperation an thinness. They do ride better an I like the low profile. But not worth the over all wear factor. The 4000 were great last thousands of miles with little or no abrasions. Bring back the 4000 thks.
