The gp5000 are great tires and look great. I've been running 28's until my last order and I got the 30's. They ride great.
With or without tubes these are faster and I'm a long time GP4000 user. Beware their sizing has changed so the tires are actually as wide as the label. In other words GP4000 28's are the same size as GP5000 32's. This goes for the entire line. By one size larger to get same size as 4000's
The tan-yellow sidewalls look great on my black bike. Performance is typical for GP5000 - which is to say good to great.
This tire has legendary status for a reason. Checks a lot of boxes: durability, feel, rolling resistance. Been running this model and its ancestors a long time, have tried others, but always come back to this one.
The Continental Grand Prix 5000 is an excellent road tire.
Comfortable, smooth ride, light weight, wears well.
I am on my second pair, from last year, and I ride a lot. Best tire.
I don't think you can go wrong with this leader in the clincher category !
Buy them !!
The Conti GP 5000 are my tires for racing and everyday riding. I have ridden on Conti GP 4000 tires for a number of years and really liked them, but the 5000's are even better. I find they grip the road really well in corners and all conditions. They are also faster (less rolling resistance) - so if you are looking for a little more speed try them out.
I have ridden Continental for years, maybe decades now. The technology keeps getting better. I ride mostly road and road conditions can be messy. 5000 is even better. I ride 25mm and can go through most road debris that gets pushed onto the road shoulders. I have confidence in these tires.
Good tire. A little better than the 4000. Handles good and seems to roll easier. Only complaint, they seem to cut easier than the 4000. Mileage seems about the same. 2 rear tires to 1 front. On my second set.
This tire very rugged and has superior puncture resistance. It grips the road very well to give an unparalleled feel when riding in practically any outdoor conditions. Regardless of your preference for tubeless or tubes performance is never lacking.
After experiencing poor durablity performance with the prior GP 4000 tire (lots of cuts and too many punctures) I started leaving my GP Four Seasons on all year. I have recently tried the new GP 5000s and so far they are a significant improvement. Rolling resistance and speed are obviously better over the Four Seasons, but durability also seems to be improved. After a couple hundred miles, no cuts or punctures. Cornering grip is stellar and stepping up to the 25mm has improved overall ride comfort. They measure 26.3 at 105 PSI, which just barely fits in my narrow Ridley Noah ISP frame, but the ride quality over 23mm versions of the GP 4000 and Four Seasons is apparent.
I recently switched to the Continental Grand Prix 5000 and I'm very happy with my purchase. I've ridden about 800 KM with these tires and the grip is excellent and has performed well in the rain. I live in a city where wet weather can come unexpectedly and it's reassuring to know that these tires can perform well in wet conditions.
Simply the best- no better tire, period.
I find two things annoying about these tires compared to the older GP4000s. First, there isn't much rubber there to start with, which helps explain the low rolling resistance. But I wonder how long they will last. Second, the tires are narrower than the older GP4000s. This is to compensate for the wider rims in use today. But I liked the width of the GP4000 700x25s. The new GP5000 700x25s are too narrow, but the 700x28s are two wide.
Got this when it was on sale, otherwise I would rate it 4 stars because they are a pricey tire, but you get what you pay for and this is all around a great tire.
I ride about 40 to 50 miles per week, I'm clearly not a hardened workout enthusiast but then I'm 65. I have ridden on multiple tire brands for over 45 plus years of riding and I have to say I'm very, very impressed with these Continental Grand Prix 5000 Road Tires. I have not had a flat yet and I have been riding on them for 18 months through rough roads, dry and wet conditions and they have performed superbly. I would highly recommend this tire!
I used this tire on a week long tour of Wyoming backroads. I also installed a 28 Conti Gatorskin on the rear. I am very impressed with both as I had zero punctures on the ride while my fellow tourists suffered many punctures. The tires replaced a pair of Vittoria Corsa tires with excellent road feel but suffered many cuts and the Conti's were 95% as nice riding as the Vittorias. I am a new Conti fan
Personally, I think these are the best tires money can buy. The are comfortable to ride, easy to install, withstand punctures and last. I road them across the US with only two flats, through gravel, country pothole roads, highways, 246,00+ grasshoppers,... etc. A great tire.
The 4000 and 5000 series tires are in my opinion the best tires that very seldom experience a flat since my old Wobler glue ups from the 80's
I have been using the GP5000s on three different bikes and I love them. To me, they are such a good, all-around performer. They are fast, durable, and puncture resistant. GP5000s are my go-to tire now.
Top of the line for Continental. I have been using this tire only for several years now, and they are great !
Comfortable ride, roll resistance, and all around smooth and great riding tire.
Strongly recommend. Like their description says..."Lazer grip and Active Comfort". Totally agree !
Buy them !
