After 1k miles ridden on this tires I can say Conti 5000 S TR new tire is better than old 5000 one. Feels like is faster, more supple and have better grip probably due to lower pressure. Max tire pressure for 700x30 is listed 70psi but since its made for tubless setup - shall be fine for even for heavier riders. No flats or cuts or other issues so far and based on regular tear and wear seems like I can squeeze more miles from those, compare to the previous Conti 5000`s.

I had great experience using Contintental's GP line of clincher tires and this tire in tubeless configure delivers on that promise. These were easy to seat on the initial install. These tires perform just as well as the Vittoria Corsa TLRs that preceded them and they seem to be a bit more durable as well. Even on sale, they are pricey, hence only 4 stars on value.

Great tires. Fast rolling resistance, low pressures, and no issues with running tubeless with silca sealant. Would recommend 100%

Came back to these after a year on a cheaper set from a different brand. I was immediately reminded how much tire choice impacts the quality of your ride. These are excellent. Expensive, but no more so than other premium tires.

Bought two sets of 32s and have set these up tubeless on two of our bikes (Canyon Endurace with DT Swiss wheels and Trek Domane with Bontrager Aeolus wheels). I was able to mount them by hand on both sets of wheels but it does take some effort. They certainly feel faster than stock tires and are grippy in dry and wet conditions. Fast, smooth, and comfortable.

I decided to try out a pair of these tires based upon reviews that I had read.
I must say that from a performance perspective the lived up the hype. Grippy and fast. Although the ride seemed to be a bit harsher than what I experienced with the Enve tires I had ridden previously.
What I don't like is that they seem to be more prone to punctures & cuts than my Enves. The surfaces I ride are primarily chip seal, so sharp little rocks are the norm for these types of roads.
After 4 weeks, I've already had to replace one of my tires due to a cut, that couldn't be plugged. I rode my Enves on these same roads with no significant issues.
I'm giving these tires a 2nd chance but will find something else to ride, if they continue to cut & puncture so easily.

I've used the 28s before for miles and they were good, these 32s are softer and more comfortable.
Review by Rough road rider
I've seen great performance from these tires in the 30mm width running tubeless on a wide carbon rim. On road they roll fast and feel like a magic carpet. Very grippy. On broken tarmac they soak up the bumps and on gravel they endure way better than they should. So far no punctures after about 1k miles and they still hold pressure for days. I found them no more difficult than other tubeless tires to mount. Technique is key. Study some online videos to make the task easier.

I had previous experience with the 32mm tubeless GP5000 on a gravel bike with 38mm rims. On very unscientific downhill rolling tests, I would consistently gap riders on road bikes -- I chalked up the surprising downhill speed to the higher weight of the gravel bike.
Going to an aero road bike I first used 28mm tubeless Vittoria Corsas. Seemed fine, but when I was ready to replace them and wanted 30mm tires, the GP5000s were the only easily available option.
Again, not a scientific comparison, but there's every indication that the 30mm Contis are faster than the 28mm Vittorias. First ride with the Contis was no big deal, but once scrubbed in they really started to shine. It felt like going from the Vittorias to the Contis was like going from the gravel bike to the aero road bike -- the Contis are that good. Possibly a good mile-an-hour faster or more.
Grip and comfort are excellent (rider+bike=175lbs; front 58 PSI, rear 62 PSI). I don't bother mounting my own TL tires -- it's always a struggle on my Reserve wheels so I let a shop take care of it, especially with their air compressor. That said, I struggled to even get one side of the Contis over the rim; they're extremely tight.

After about 1500 miles the rear has plenty of cuts and a decent amount of wear, more than half way to the garbage can. The front still looks pretty good. Got a few flats on the rear in the last couple hundred miles.

If there's a better all around tire out there, I haven't met it.
Review by trailrunz
I bought these to use on my gravel bike for road rides. Install was very easy, and not a single issue with them after 500-1000 miles on rough asphalt roads. Very satisfied.

Good tire for training & racing. seems to hold up well.
Review by Joe
These Conti 5000 are the best Tubeless I�ve tried. I�ve avoided a number of small punctures as the tires have worked as advertised. Plus they hold air well.
Review by SF biker
I've used Continental tires for over 15 years, starting with Gator Skins for my tubed tires. 7 years ago I went tubeless with Mavic wheels. I was able to mount the older Continental tubeless tires, but with a lot of effort. I now have Mavic Ksyrium Elite Disc UST rims. Today I tried to mount the new version Continental tubeless tires 700X30C. I couldn't event get close to mounting them, even the first side. I'll go to my local bike shop for help tomorrow. FYI, the bike shop has told me that Mavic rims are difficult for mounting, depending on the tire type. I love Continentals as being very durable tires. But if you go tubeless, don't even try to mount them yourself.

Fairly difficult to mount, like the Challenges, but buy the Challenge tire mounting tool and two Schwalbe tire
levers with the rim clip, you'll get them on! I think the ride is not as supple as the Vitoria's or Challenge tires,
(700cx30mm) but I can live with them. Installed tubeless with Finish Line sealant, they hold air for 2-3 months.
Great looking with the tan sidewall

If you want speed these are the tires to go with
Review by Richrob
In the past I ran the GP 4000s with very few flats. Since using the 5000s I get a lot more flats and fewer miles. Conti went for performance over durability. I have found they make a GP 5000 AR which has thicker rubber. Now I just need Bike Tires direct to put them on sale.

Best road tire, fast and withstands glass/debris on our local roads
