If it's good for Pogacar It's good enough for me. Get the black it's faster.

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.

Impressed with the overall performance of the 5000 series tires. Have been riding them for several years and have no complaints.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
Review by Habanero
Installation of this tire was extremely hard. It took all my power plus some to get this tire on my TR wheel. However, it filled up with air with my floor pump easily. So far, the ride on this tire is real nice.

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.
Review by Ged
Once you break them in, they are the fastest tires I ever had, vs Schwalbe Pro One, Conti GT 5000 TL.
They are really a race or time trial tire, with a bit more puncture protection.
I bought a set of Schwalbe Pro One TE. They are listed as only 15 grams more, but they seem 2X as durable.

This is probably the highest rated road tubeless tire in the market and it does live up to the accolades. According to my bike shop, it was super easy to install/set up. I have been riding with these and they are very smooth. So far, I have had a great experience.
Review by Tony H
So far I would give them a 5/5 except for two minor things. They are quite difficult for an older fellow with arthritic fingers to get on/off the rims. Also they tend to lose air and need topping off more quickly than one might expect. Perhaps that is standard for tubeless set-ups or maybe for hookless rims.

Mounted on Zips 404 Firecrest hookless wheels effortlessly and I feel confident cornering in both wet and dry conditions. Rolling resistance is negligible from the Continental TL 5000 (28mm) tires I had previously, ride comfort, just fantastic!
