ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

This is probably my fifth or sixth set of Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tires, and they continue to impress. It's the perfect all-around tire. I race almost every weekend, and it's a relief to use the same tire for both training and racing. No need for separate training and racing wheels with tubular tires�those can be such a hassle!

I've been running versions of the 5000 for 15 years. This is my first mount of the tubeless version. For me, they mounted easily on my Giant SL1's. I ride faster on these 30mm than on the fondo 32mm's that my Defy Advanced Pro came with. No flats. I run 60 to 65 psi front and back. More than satisfied.

I got these in 28mm and mounted them on HED Ardennes LT+ TR rim brake rims (21mm interior width). Replaced a set of tubed GP4000s. Like other commenters note, the 28mm tubeless look like my former 25mm tubed tires, but I haven�t measured them. I didn�t have any trouble mounting these, though I used tire levers to mount them. They�re a pleasure to ride; tubeless is always a little plusher than tubed, but these are a bit silkier than other tubeless I�ve ridden. It may be my imagination but they seem a little faster than my previous GPs. I�ve ridden about 300 miles on them over all kinds of surface, including milled asphalt, crappy NYC streets, and dirt, and I�ve had no flats and no premature wear. Expensive but I expect to get every penny out of them.

I am riding on the 32mm wide version of this tire on Zipp Firecrest 303 wheels (25mm inner diameter) at 50/52 psi F/R. I weigh 185 lbs. They are both wearing well after 1500 miles use. The front tire still shows a trace of the casting seam in the middle of the contact surface, but not the back. Wear dimples are still visible on both tires. I have only found two tiny nicks from road trash in the contact patch of the rear tire. Sidewalls are in pristine condition. They roll very well and are extremely comfortable. I thought I was on a new bike after replacing 28mm tubed Conti GP5000 S tires on Mavic rims with 17mm ID. I expect the front tire to last for over 6,000 miles, perhaps much more. One of my Conti GP5000 S tubed 28mm tires lasted 10,000 miles before I replaced it. I have front and back ones still rolling with 8400 miles. I hope to get similar life out of these tubeless ready tires.

Not the tire's fault. I've been running them on Zipp 404s. But I did pick up a staple 40 miles from home.

Bad day to be me. But I patched the tire and have put another 1500 mile on it since. So really little to complain about. I'll defiantly buy them again.

Continental tires have always been my go-to, but over the past couple years I had decided to try a few other brands: Pirelli, Maxxis, Michelin, to name a few. Came back around to these Contis and I love them! Light and durable, great road feel, and hold air better than any other tubeless I�ve used!

The only road bike tire you should be running, whether it be for training for racing

I've used these tires for years and am very happy with them.

I�ve had great success with Continental tires. They are my go to tire. Bought a new Trek Madone and quickly replaced the tires with these Continentals and haven�t looked back. Got the natural rubber sidewalls which look awesome. The ride is excellent, smooth, and resists flats.

The Continental 5000 : DON�T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEM!!!

I�ve used them since they first came out as the 4000 as clinchers and at present as 5000 tubeless with no issues. Low friction (fast!!) and great grip. No wonder it�s the best all- a rounder when selecting dependable rubber for your steed.

Two years using these exclusively now. Not one flat. I have got the hang of seating them, I have accepted that the harder they are to put on the more secure I am. For the price I wish they lasted longer but I love the feel and ride.

Started running tubeless on my road bike and these tires are great. I've always loved the tubed version, and these are just as good (if not better). At the risk of jinxing myself I have not had any punctures and they were actually fairly easy to mount and to seat without an air compressor.

I spent years racing on tubulars and finally decided after retiring from racing to switch to tubeless tires. I am so glad that I chose the Continental S TR Road tires in 28 mm. Honestly they were difficult to get on my DT Swiss 1400 wheels, Once on the wheels they aired up without an issue. I can dial the air pressure in based on my training rides. Wahoo

If you're switching to tubeless, this is the spring/summer tire for you. Supple, smooth, durable, and super easy to mount. Rides well in damp conditions; haven't tried in the true wet of Oregon.

The tubeless journey started with the MTB tires and then I tried the road tires. This new version of the Grand Prix is superb. I have acquired the appropriate tools and I can now change this tire in my garage in 5-10 minutes. Check out the Park Tool wheel block, it makes it much easier to get the needed leverage. I have been using Orange Seal Endurance without incident. The occasional puncture gives off a little spray and then seals. I'm talking 4k miles this year without a ride ending flat. I ride in Central Oregon on chip seal and on local mountain roads with debris and pot holes and snow plow gouges. I continue to lower the pressure on the tires until this year 64 front and 70 rear. I'm 189 pounds and this has significantly softened the ride.

The tires are great. For a point of reference, I ride them on a Canyon Endurace - carbon fiber frame, aluminum wheels and Di2 drivetrain. 700x28. They are fast but, still smooth. A more comfortable ride than Gatorskins. They�re very grippy. I�m taking corners and descending with these like perhaps and old man shouldn�t. I did over time end up with gashes that wouldn�t seal and had tubes in both tires before the wear indicators were all the way down. It�s my third set so, I definitely like them. I weigh 210 lbs (95ish kg) and they last me 1500 to 2000 miles.

I outfitted my new dream road bike with these pricey tires, and I have nearly 1400 mi on these 28C tires without a single flat, despite frequently being unable to avoid rolling through broken glass on Chicago streets, so I'm impressed with the puncture resistance. Indeed, the tires are remarkably unscarred considering the miles. Similarly, the rear tire is showing minimal wear despite my 215 lbs, so I'm also impressed with tread wear. Together with the sweet ride, these are the best-performing Contis I've ever ridden, and I anticipate that they will serve me well beyond my typical life cycle of 2500mi for road tires except... Unfortunately, the loss of 2 stars in my rating is due to the regular appearance of threads peeling from the sidewalls approximately 5mm from the rim on my Enve SES 3.4s at what appears to be a subtle seam line. The threads of up to several inches in length fray from the sidewall of both front and rear tires, indicating the issue is not unique to a single tire. I trim away the loose ends, rather than pulling them due to concern for somehow compromising the tire. I've ridden mostly Contis for the last 40,000mi, and I've never experienced this issue with Conti road tires or any other tires on any of my bikes. Very disappointing for a pricey tire that's otherwise worth every penny!

This is my second set of Grand Prix 5000str tires. I'm sold on this product. I really appreciate the grip that these tires have going into and out of a corner with speed. It's a real confidence booster.

California's Central Valley might be flat but the adjacent Sierra Mountains are not. Riding from home I get a great mix of flat terrain and climbs of up to 14% - 16% and even 19%.

The GP 5000S TR has very low rolling resistance, excellent durability and climbs, descends and corners better than any tire I have ridden.

I highly recommend this tire.

Much easier to mount than my previous GP5k TL tires. Still far from the easiest, but not nearly as many cuss words, beer and planetary alignment required to get these things on. Fast as always, pretty resistant to punctures and a nice ride. Conti continues to impress me.
