Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire

I am using the 32mm size in the low 50 psi pressure range. The tires still roll nicely and smooth out a lot of bumps. They give me more confidence on roads with cracks. The lower pressure and wider contact patch probably reduces the likelihood of punctures. I've only had one puncture in two years riding - about 10,000 miles. A small piece of metal went completely through my rear tire and rattled around inside of it. I used two Dynaplugs to seal the hole and rode another 60 miles afterwards. Since the tire had about 4500 miles on it, I replaced it with a new one. I laid the new tire in the sun to warm it up and then installed in on the Zipp 303 Firecrest hookless wheel without too much effort after soaping the last section that needed to roll over the edge of the rim. I use heavy, grippy rubber gloves for this purpose. I look forward to installing them on my Roval CLX III wheels when the Specialized Turbos that came with my Tarmac SL8 wear out.

Running these tubeless has been a revelation. Mounting was straightforward, sealant setup was painless, and they've held air flawlessly. On the road, the GP 5000 S TR strikes that rare balance of low rolling resistance and real-world durability, all while delivering an incredibly supple ride. They're the plushest road tires I've ridden'soaking up rough Michigan pavement without feeling slow or vague. Fast, grippy, and confidence-boosting at speed. Benchmark-level performance.

These tires are perfect for my endurance road riding!

This is going to be a little different... I saw a video on youtube with Caden from Caden wheels explaining how he used sealant in TPU tubes with tubeless tires. Not TPU specific sealant, just tubeless sealant. He claimed the sealant lasted longer because there wasn't as much evaporation from inside the TPU tube and that the chances of a burp flat went dramatically down.

I decided to try it and here's the result so far. TPU tubes in this tire with sealant have been flat free through the Tour de Tucson and several hundred miles more. These tires roll and corner great and have been reliable. I won't know if I've gotten any punctures until I get one that's so big the sealant won't fill it or I take the tire off to replace it, but so far Caden has been right.

I find this a Great tire for the price. I ride 3000 miles a year and have aways had great success with the Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire. Change them out every year with a new set.

Changed out my original stock Bontrager tired and replaced with these 5000S TR. Maybe it's part placebo but they feel so much faster and the ride quality is great. (Bicycle tire rolling resistance agrees with me). Best upgrade for your bike

Best all around tire for racing or training fast. Decent durability, get them on sale for best value.

Fast and hold up well to the bumpy roads around where

Fast and grippy. Had a puncture that self sealed without a problem during a ride. Plugged it when I got home.

Easily the Best tubeless tire out there

I'm a pretty big guy (190lbs), I ride in and around New York City (lots of less-than-ideal road surfaces, to put it kindly) and I rack up meaningful mileage (~9,000 miles/yr). So I am a destroyer of tires. I'm not really road racing right now, but I still prefer the road feel of a good race tire.

Other tires I have run (all in 28mm tubeless, mostly on ENVE rims) :

Schwalbe Pro One - it's been a few years, but the pair I had got cut up faster than any other tire I had used to date

Enve SES - loved the road feel of these tires, but have never gone more than 100 miles without puncturing a rear tire. Front tire was ok for a decent amount of time.

Vittoria Corsa Pro and variations: loved the way these rolled, but not durable enough for me

Hutchinson Secteur: a very durable tire that rolled acceptably, but seems to be gone now?

Teravail Rampart: durable, but honestly I didn't realize how terrible a road tire could feel! It was like riding in mud

Once I landed on the GP5K S TR, I have not looked back, except to occasionally test out other tires. They are really nice on the road, and, in my experience, have been more durable than other tires.

Punctures happen, and not generally in consistent ways, so I am careful not to blame a new tire if I happen to puncture early in its service. But when a tire consistently punctures early in its life, over multiple tires, that's when I say goodbye.

This is my go-to go-fast tire. I know there are models that supposedly measure faster spinning on a drum somewhere protected from the real world, but I don't see the point in possibly saving a couple of watts, especially if the margin of error is more than the measured savings.

Anyway, I digress, these tires are great. I don't have the wear issues some have noted, I'm a light rider though, 152 pounds or so, maybe that's the trick. They are tough to get on almost every rim I've used them on, my trick is to leave them in the driveway on a sunny day, let them get toasty, and then get them on. I can do it with my thumbs, no levers, but it is a bit of a chore at the end. I have also inflated them with a normal floor pump and they pop right into place.

They roll fast enough for me, they definitely are more comfy than my daily driver tires (Cinturato Velo). Those tires are tough as nails, but noticeably slower.

I do run these tubeless, to protect me from some of the easy ones. I really don't have anything negative to say about them. Catch a sale to even out the price so you don't have to eat Corn Flakes for 2 weeks saving up. They weigh very close to the numbers posted too, which I appreciate not from a weight savings standpoint, but from a QC standpoint. You won't get the Friday afternoon special as frequently.

Give them a go, there's a reason they have tons of reviews, it's one of those situations where everything else tries to compare to this tire, just buy THIS tire and save the headaches.

I had no problem mounting these tubeless on Zipp 303 Firecrest rims. Piece of cake. They ride really nicely.

I love the Continental Grand Prix 5000 S Tr tires, they are easy to mount, and they bead up nicely. They are fast, smooth, and long wearing tire, I am on my second set of these, and don't think I will switch to anything different.

Long time GP, GP 4000, and now GP 5000 TR tire user. For the weight, these are the most durable tires, long wearing and great grip. I'm 185 lbs and ride in the PNW, often crummy road surfaces and sometimes wet. I'm running 700x30 on 25mm internal width rims at 58/62 psi. These are still comfortable (I down sized from 32s) but, handle better on high speed turns, as I don't feel the tire flexing between the road and rim. The right tire, rim and PSI is crucial, and these are my numbers. I've ridden Schwalbe G1, Vredestein, Maxxis High Road, and top end Vittoria tires, but always go back to Continental GPs. Great tire, great ride.

This tire hands down is the most consistent, well performing, long lasting tire I've ever raced/trained/ridden on.

I run tubeless, 700x32 on a 2021 Cannondale SuperSix with the HollowGram wheels. I run roughly 58PSI FR / 60PSI RR - in damp Seattle and it's great. Grippy, supple, comfortbale, and fast.

Typically I can get a full summer of heavy riding and racing from them, and swap over to the 5000 AS TR for the winter.

I race a lot of crits, some road courses, and train on them daily.

Really happy after changing to these! I'd previously used Vittoria Corsas and Pirelli PZeros.

Although I feel that the ride sensation of the Corsa's was the best of the bunch (they're absolutely glued to the road), the durability just isnt there. In my limited experience, it felt that punctures began at about 1000 miles.

With the GP5000s, the ride feel is nearly as good, and the durability is vastly superior. My rear tires do well until 2000 miles, at which point the wear indicators are usually completely gone so I swapped them. I swap the front at 3000 miles.

Overall very happy with them!

What more do you need to know in order to purchase Continental GP5000 STR tires yourself ?

By far the best tires on the market.

25 years ago I raced on Vittoria and Veloflex tubular tires. Then I transferred to a Specialized sponsored team which means I had the opportunity to race on custom made Specialized tubular tires and S works clincher tires. I can tell you that after a long break from being on the bike, I chose Continental GP 5000 STR tires to get a tubular like ride, But a more durable tire. Not to mention that the tire pressure is unbelievably low comparitivly speaking.

Really love the feel of these, they're light and fast. Unlike the schwalbes and the enves they seem to retain their speed after the first hundred miles.

Very susceptible to small punctures- definitely not as durable as the schwalbes. Probably equivalent to the enves.

Been riding these for a long time in various forms. From clincher 700x21's to these tubeless 28's. Always a good fast tire.
