ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

After suffering through a summer of flats I decided to ditch my almost new Vittorias and try the new Continental Grand Prix 5000. They are superb. I broke them

in at Santa Rosa 70.3. The road condition was not good and the Continental 5000 performed perfectly. Excellent road grip and very fast!

Oh and Biketiresdirect had them to me in 2 days!

We switched over to the 32s of this model from a light touring tire for the summer. We have a tandem that can run up to 38s but these fit the bit for nice pavement to chip seal country roads. They are much faster and corner great. They also have a nice road feel as the larger volume lets us get away with lower pressure. Wouldnt take these on dirt, but thats not what they are made for!

Easy to mount. Smooth rolling. Grip feels more than adequate. Not many miles on them yet, so I can't speak to durability.

Love this tire! Handles great on steep winding descents, very sticky but with great rolling resistance.

Very comfortable ride. Long lasting Tire. Thanks

Great tire and looks great!

Upsized to 28mm - faster and rides better

Had GP5000 25mm previously - great grip, and smooth, quiet ride - rear wore out pretty fast though

More flats than I'd like though

I ride this tire in a 700c x 25mm size daily on asphalt, typically 20 - 60 miles. I used to switch to Gator Skins for Fully Supported week long tours, but this year I have left the 5000S tires on my bike rims and they are proving surprisingly flat resistant. I may switch to a 28mm width for the next week tour.

They are really good tires will buy again

Picked up a pair of the 700c x 25mm tires when they were on sale. I couldn't tell a noticeable difference over the previous model of this tire (GP 4000 SII) but I did use them in a 60 mile race and they rolled as smooth as butter, gave a soft ride. They have not punctured after 350 miles of riding so far and that includes over some rough gravel and road debris. If you can grab these when they are on sale you can't go wrong.

I have always enjoyed brand new tire, but the continental gp 5000 is exceptional . The road feels is excellent the bike handling is superb.

The GP5000 is all it is supposed to be. I've been riding the GP4000SII for several years. It has been a great tire for our rough roads. It has been durable and fast. The GP5000 appears to be just as durable and seems to roll better. Recommend these tires to everyone. I do fast group rides and several long ridesraces per year.

I highly recommend Bike Tires Direct. Always fast, reliable service.

My Bike instantly was faster!!

Short rides with moderate hills, decent but not great paving quality. Put the tires on an older Bianchi Eros that doesn't get a lot of miles these days.

I have been riding the Continental Grand Prix tires for many many years.

Previously always the 4000 S. Now...the new Grand Prix 5000.

I find these tires to be even better. They seem to roll better, smoother, and just feel great !

I think the shock absorption is superior, and they just make the bike feel better than before.

Very nice, I highly recommend these tires.

I ride about 75 mi. a wk. 25 mi. per ride average speed 13.5 14.5 on blacktop streets ,usually the same route ,I bought these tires 2 mo. ago and cannot attest to the durability at this point but I will say that they are by far the best rolling and fastest tires I have ever owned over the last 27yrs. .

Awesome tyres ! Good for training and racing

I have this tire mounted on a Fulcrum Racing 3db and it's a really nice combination. Ride, handling, rolling are all top notch. Expensive, but worth it. Can't speak to durability yet since I only have a few hundred miles on them.

GP5000s are a great all-rounder for road tires. Perfect balance between rolling resistance, durability, and puncture resistance. BTD's price matching program is amazing.
