Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tires are fairly easy to setup tubeless. Thay ride well, stable in corners and smooth on rougher pavement.
Review by David B
Impressed with the overall performance of the 5000 series tires. Have been riding them for several years and have no complaints.

Reasonably durable 1000 miles plus
Expensive
Review by SaGriff
So far so good, these tires were recommended to me by a bike club member and I am happy I made the switch. Hoping to get some good mileage out of them.

I avg over 10,000 miles every year, these GP 5000 STR tires are far the best tires I�ve ever used.
Review by msteed
For most things I�ll have to trust the reviews from people who can take precise measurements, but I can say these tires were easy enough to mount and provide a nice smooth ride.

Plenty of other reviews out there on these two tires, but sadly BTD has co-mingled reviews of the original GP5000 TR tire with the current/improved GP5000 S TR. Beware and read other reviews that are not co-mingled to get a better read on the current tire.

best performance tires going right now. Breeze to setup tubeless and easy to mount.

I ride on the road about 100 miles/week. I used to ride Gatorskins for their durability, but switched to tubeless about 6 months ago. After an initial failed set of Vittoria Corsa N.EXT tires, I installed a set of GP 5000 S TRs, and couldn't be happier. I ride these tubeless, on Shimano RS370s, at 63 psi. They're very grippy, fast rolling, comfortable, and durable. No leaks/sealing issues using Stan's. My favorite road tires.

Great tires, ,maybe not the best value but roll well and slick looking.
Review by Jim L
I�ve been using GP 5000�s tubeless for 5-6 years and the S TR since it became available. I�ve been getting around 5000 miles on each tire on rough pavement and occasional gravel. I like the feel, the grip and the rolling resistance at 65/70 seems as good or better than earlier versions.

Like these tires for a year, until my first flat! Tire sealed on the road and I was able to ride the remaining 10 miles home. It held air through the next day until I pumped it up to riding pressure. The sealant could not hold the air pressure and select came out. I then plugged the hole, which solved the problem, but there is a bump where the plug went in. To be safe I'll probably buy a new tire..

I love, love, love these tires. Fast and durable. Not one puncture (that I'm aware of) over several thousand miles. Great road feel and easy to mount on my DT Swiss wheels. FWIW I run these with Silca Ultimate sealant.

I did a recent race 60 miles, when I arrived I noticed everyone was was riding a gravel bike Turns out about 33 miles was gravel, I rode and completed the ride on the 28mm continental 5000 on Cadex hookless wheels at 63 psi ,not a single mark no flats zero problem well maybe one on 10% hill my tiers were spinning so much in the gravel I had walk part of the way up the hill in my road shoes.

This is a phenomenal tire. Amazingly efficient rolling resistance with no compromise when it comes to durability. The tires are incredibly hard to install, but the plus side is that the seal that is created when they are seated is so tight you could almost go without using sealant. Highly recommend these tires.
Review by Nick
I finally wore past the indicators on my rear tire. It rolled 5,281 miles. Incredibly fast, incredibly durable, fantastic puncture protection, easy mounting.
$0.02 per mile for the fastest road tires a pleb can buy.
Review by ARG
These tires really, really perform well. Very resistant to cuts and punctures. Stable in the corners. I've got 2,000+ miles on a pair and they look almost new. I've been a Continental tire client for 10+ years and these are the best they have made to date. I have a spare set of these from BikeTiresDirect but I expect it will be a while till the existing ones show any significant wear.

I have these in 25, 28, and 30. I love them!!!
Great all around performance. Confidence inspiring in the corners.
Review by Jim J
I've used multiple variants of this tire and currently run the 28mm and 30mm versions of this tire. They snapped right on to my Zipp 808s without requiring any tools. The first for a TLR tire in my experience. I was worried there might have been an issue and they wouldn't hold air since they went on so easily - but they seated and held air just great! I will have to see how these compare long term this season but so far so good.
