I have used Continental tires for over 30 years and absolutely love them
As a weekend cyclist I don't need top of the line tires. These tires work well and hold up on the sorry roads I I'm forced to ride.
Love these tires , rarely flat . They have gotten me through many triathlons with no flats . Easy to get on and off .
I have done miles up on miles with minimal puncture.
No issues going on DT Swiss 421 rims. Loved the look with dark grey bike and tan sidewall. Feels softer and grippier than Michelin Power, Specialized Turbo Pro and Vitoria Rubino. No issues with flat protection on Houston streets and bayous. Bought in 28 and installed width is 29mm on 20mm internal wheel.
I placed an order in Oct 2021 and received these tires in January (28cm). Conti tires are my mainstays and can already tell a difference.
The last set (another brand) punctured with relative frequency and the thought of a possible puncture was always present.
Time will tell with this set, but experience with Conti tires leads me to believe I'm in good shape.
I am not a hot shot hi speed rider but more like an old guy looking for every advantage. I have ridden on Conti 4000 since they came out and when I got a new bike I upgraded to the 5000. The improvement was noticeable and when I experienced a really bad cut in my 5000 I ordered a new one. I don't think it is my imagination that the newer 5000 I bought is even better than the originals. Plus the sidewalls give me that '56 Chevy look!
6000 mile per year road rider and have easily gotten 5000+ miles regularly on them.
These tires are awesome. They move fast, but they don't wear fast. The tan sidewalls also look pretty sweet, which of course is the most important part of cycling...
You already know, these are great. The gold standard of tubed road tires.
Great tires and lowest price available!
Continental easiest to install and beads up perfect with little effort
GP 5000 good all around tires and they have very competitive price at BIKE Tire direct.

I use these tires on my road bike, I probably get about 3000 miles for a set. They ride well, durable, just a great road tire to use.
I have used these for some years. I'm no lightweight (200 lbs.), so flats are an issue for me. I have had uniformly good luck with Grand Prix 5000's - particularly when they are new. They ride and corner well. I replace them about every 2500 miles - I notice that at that wear level I start getting flats.
Because of the weather conditions in my area I haven't had a chance to ride but my experience with the tires so far are great. They were easy to install them and I am looking forward to get on the trails in spring and try them.
It took six months to receive the new tires with >20 shipping updates with new dates. The price of the tires on this site was slightly lower when the tires actually did ship compared to when I placed the order, but I still got charged the original price.
Been using Continental 4000 and now 5000's for several years and I don't think they can be beat for overall performance, durability and flat resistance. I believe I will be staying with these tires for the foreseeable future.
In the last couple of years, I changed up from GP 4000 Contis to these 5000s and they are a subtle improvement with better sidewall resistance to flats. During my career I have ridden everything from $10 east European tubulars to Vittorias and Michelins. These Contis work well in the wet as well as the dry - and for winter I put on the 4-Season Contis in a wider fit.
