Perform well, mount easy & roll without effort.
Great rear tire, a little more puncture resistance versus the S TR. Get it on sale.
Bought these to replace some gravel tires because i really did not ride that much gravel. They track and grip perfectly on the corners.
Gravel tires tend to squeegee/squish when you go through turn which can be a bit tricky.
Have had these on the road bike for a few weeks. Replaced Conti GP4000 4 Seasons. The GP5000 seems quite a bit faster, and grippier. Been riding in the rain with a lot of confidence. Can't comment yet on puncture resistance or longevity. Mounted on Enve M50s - tight to get on, seated with floor pump + storage / release chamber.
I ordered these tires a few times. All around the best tires I have ever owned. They last a long time, and I have not had a flat with them yet. They grip well throughout their life span. They can be hard to put on my rims, but it's the nature of the beast for me.
I have installed many TLR tires before, but this was my first time trying GP5000. It was indeed nicely built. The only problem I have is, it is slightly not true. Not sure what's going on. My wheels are true. I tried to remove it and then re-install it, but it didn't solve the issue. It feels 'bumpy' at the same location. I don't think it is my skill. Might be a QC issue.
I am almost through a 35-day cross-country tour. 110 miles per day. I swapped to these new, tougher Conti 5000 tubeless after wearing out a set of Schwalbe Pro One tubeless. I have never had any piece of bike tech make as much of a difference to my performance. They are dramatically more comfortable and faster. They also installed easily on my notoriously difficult Zipp 303 hookless rims. I can install myself with arthritic hands, without a tire jack. I love these tires!
I'm trying these as a replacement for the GP 5000 S TR I started with. The S TR only got 3300 mi / 5300 km before being worn out, barely 6 months of riding. The AS version is a much tougher version. I've got only a few hunder miles / km on them, so I've no indication, yet, if they are longer wearing, but I am very pleased with the handling of this tire. Corners like the racing version, grips like the racing version, but the feel is much stiffer. At 10-15 psi less than I used to carry, the bumps are still noticeable. Previously, I used about 70 psi, and I'm now down to 55 - 60 psi.
The stiffness of the ride is due to the increased tread thickness. This is also supposed to provide more puncture resistance, but I'm hoping just to get a full year out of these tires. Using Silca Ultimate Tubeless Sealant, I never noticed if I had any punctures, so the puncture resistance is not an issue for me. Only time, and distance, will tell if this change was worth it.
Performs the same as a regular gp5000tr as far as traction/handling in dry weather but slightly heavier and thicker which helps with comfort and durability. It absorbs vibrations slightly better than the regular lighter version. I found that the thicker tire is also less prone to deforming when your rotate tires frequently between rims which helps with easy inflation. Unfortunately I ended up flatting my 28mm about 300 miles in on a massive m8 wood screw. Patched it up but the tire would inflate with a slight hump where the puncture was which pretty much made it useless. Overall it is a great tire that performs just as good as previous models but with added comfort, durability, and reliability but is not invincible. The extra weight is not noticeable. Great for daily use but I wouldn't mind racing on them.
Low rolling resistance that I could feel
with excellent confidence inspiring grip and durability. So far I've had about 200 miles on these. No cuts or punctures (knock on wood)
Easy to install. Grips the road well and smooths out the rough spots.
Durable, grippy, robust, comfortable.
No flats that needed repairing with 3000km.
Great tire! Easy to put on, pump up tubeless and rides great too!
Rode these twice in the rain, wet roads, and found them to be very grippy. Much better than Goodyear and Schwable I had on these rims before. Even pushing pretty hard into corners on wet road I have a great deal of confidence with these tires. I'm 175-180 lbs, and I ran them at 45 psi on wet, vs 50psi for dry roads.
Also raced two criteriums with these tires and they worked fine. Probably not the lightest race-day tire you can get, but good enough for me (Cat 4).
After many years working in a bike shop, I have a longstanding hatred for Continental tires because they are traditionally so tight. BUT, I broke down and tried these as there are very few options for my rims, Giant SLR2 carbon hookless. They were super easy to mount, no problem, and sealed right away.
Out of the package they feel a little more substantial than Schwable Pro One, but not quite as heavy as Goodyear Eagle F1s that I have run on this bike. Roll seems really good and they are very grippy, at least on dry pavement. Only had them one week, but if they're as durable as the ad says, they could be my go-to for training and racing. Pleasantly surprised.
Was able to get 28mm on without much struggle then easily use regular hand pump with small amount of stans, hooked SLR giant wheels. Handles great on steep descent. Had been happy with the durability of Maxxis, these appear at least as durable.
I use this tire for foul weather and training...it is a little heavier than my GP S TR that I use for summertime and fast peloton, but feels quite similar.
I put these on my road bike that is tubeless ready. Great tires. Long lasting with grip. I will sometimes ride lite gravel and dirt on them.
Love the comfiness and durability for the offseason.
Love these tires. Just wish they made them in 30mm.
