ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 TL Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

These tires achieve the trifecta for me - fast, durable, and great feel on the road. I strongly recommend them for anyone looking for a good tubeless road racing tire.

Tires are awesome, they are wearing down a bit quickly, I've put around 800 miles on them and the rear tire is getting a bit flat on the contact surface, I've seen 4 and 3 small punctures on the tires respectively it is unsure if they made it all the way in as I have not seen a significant decrease in tire pressure. The tires do drop 10-15 psi every 2-3 days, I'm inflating them to 100psi and using stans racing sealant. This tire does it seem to have a lot of life, the wear dimples seem pretty shallow. Lastly these tires were difficult to install. Overall a great tire, only time will tell how they wear vs what I've seen.

I was hesitant to trust tubeless on the road but it's been pretty bomb proof. One puncture that wouldn't seal (a slice, really) in over 10K km of riding. Those are far better results than I expected. I feel like these wore more quickly than the 4000/4000s clinchers I've used the past few seasons, but I'll trade that for the dependability, traction and overall excellent performance. Mounting these on my ENVE 5.6 rims was brutal. So much so that when I sliced that tire, I took it to a shop to install the new one (and, while they did it in about 15 mins, they commented that it was really tough to do). So 5 stars for riding performance minus a star for being so tough to mount.

ber gription, YES STICKY (even in wet conditions), tough (used on road, small aggregate fire road, easy single track...so far), available in tubeless model (this is the model I'm writing about), NOT SUPER light but acceptable, mounted relatively easy BY HAND and pumped up with REGULAR floor pump, with NO sealant, on a 2015 Reynolds Blacklabel 29er XC wheelset (I did add sealant post mounting...why tempt fate). I've never been a big Continental fan but this tire has changed my mind, at least for this model 5000 TL 32mm

Having just moved to tubeless, I wanted a fast rolling, yet durable tire. Research shows the 5000 TL is one of the fastest on the market today. Having previously ridden its tubed predecessor, a 25mm GP 5000, I knew Conti made a quality tire, yet it always felt stiff. I left that model for the buttery smooth ride of a 28mm Vittoria Corsa with skin walled cotton casing. Now I'm back to Conti for a 25mm GP 5000 TL. Set up tubeless, as it is intended, this tire strikes the balance it's fast, it's got incredible grip through corners, and it rolls really nice as well. It is not as supple as cotton casing, but a racier feel that is still comfy. I'm 5'9, 150lb, & run the tires 75psi front & 90 back, with a full Stan's set up.

Made the switch to tubeless about a year ago with these and was not disappointed. Fast rolling and NO flats. The rear tire went 3200 miles before showing casing; I've changed it out. The original front tire is still going with the dimple wear marks looking fine. Overall: fast, grippy, & a bit stiff, but no complaints since no flats.

I use these tires on an endurance bike (Giant, Defy, Adavanced 2), which is probably not as "fast" or responsive as traditional road/racing bikes. But these tires have helped me keep up with others.

I have been a fan of Continental 4 Season tires for years and years, commuted with them year 'round . So, when I went tubeless, I choose the Conti GP5000 TLs. Unfortunately, these do not fit on Mavic Pro UST wheel sets. Trust me, I tried all the tricks for hours and 2 different bike shops also tried without success. These GP5000 TLs simply don't fit. Extremely disappointed.

I tried to run these Tubeless on Bontrager Rims. Me and then 4 people at local bike shop couldn't get them on. I would say the fault is 5050. Half the fault of the rim and half the fault of the tire. I wanted to go tubeless because I always ripped a sidewall on the 4000's long before they were done. Essentially I had to buy 3 tires to get the normal 2500 miles out of two of the 4000's.

6 hundred miles with lots of debris on the road & no cuts on tires good grip tires are still perfect. Set up tubeless making ride smoother.
