Excellent tire,nice comfort.
Great price ??
These tires r recommended as good tires but are nearly impossible to get on the rim. They are just way to tight, if I ever get a flat there won't be any changing along side the road cause I won't have the strength
I have used Contis for years and have made the transition to their tubeless. During the pandemic I tried another brand (supply chain) and they didn't have the same road feel, and durability was also less. I have continental tires on all of my bikes
The Conti GP5K is probably today's go-to standard for a basic all around tire. I don't race, so I can't comment on it's performance under those conditions. But for the average rider, these tires roll very smoothly, are relatively grippy, and have pretty long tread life. I have them on all my bikes.
This is used on my performance titanium bike. Very good durability. Use then on paved backroads and sometimes crushed stone trails common as rec trails in WI.
A little pricey, but probably still a good value considering tire life.
Best price found online. Shipping was quick. Figment was a bit tricky, but once in place the tan walls made my bike look nice and roll a bit faster. Steel is real.
Used the 32mm with tubes for a month and about 500 miles after a 6 month back order. I ran over something that put a 1 inch slice in the rear and now that tire is useless. Maybe just bad luck but will not order them again. I'll stick with the 4-season or gatorskin.
Got the 28 mm version. Extraordinarily comfortable especially on chip seal roads which are very common where I live. Great grip on wet roads, too. A little pricey, but if you want to avoid disappointment, always buy the best; and these are the best.
I bought these to replace my aging tires specifically for a century in San Antonio with all the crappy Texas chip seal you can imagine and they held up great (no flats!). I bought 28mm and haven't tried putting calipers on them but my guess is they're narrow. I was able to mount them with my bare hands too, which is always a plus. Great tires, would buy again.
My experiences with the GP5000 tire has been very good. A bit pricey, and I can only get 1200-1500 miles on a set; but experience on road has been a good performer. I plan to continue I need to use this tire on my road bike
Ride smooth, feel fast, not enough miles to comment on puncture resistance. Moved to these from a pair of Pro Endurance 4's and they are a tighter fit for sure but nothing I'm concerned about if I have to make a change on the road.
Wanted to change to a wider tire for a better ride. The 5000 is a tough tire with excellent rolling resistance and traction.
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!
This tire is a great balance between light weight and puncture protection. I use it on my Cannondale hybrid bike, and get excellent millage also.
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.
