Excellent good traction and long lasting
This is a great tire. It has great traction, really sticks to the road in curves, and is pretty resistant to flats.
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.
Been riding these for years and they haven't failed me yet
Reliable, low rolling resistance and lightweight.
The best allrounder in the field, brought to a whole new performance level. Ride faster, more comfortable, and with increased puncture protection. Made to make you better.
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!
Exceptional tires I buy two sets a year
Awesome tires changed from gator skins and what a difference!!
I have been using Continental tires for years. I find them very durable and easy to install, especially the new 5000 tire.
Great tire. I use tubes and very few flats. Rolls and grips well. Mileage varies dependent on terrain but got about 4,000 out of my last set.
Have used Contis for many many years.
Best all around tire!!!
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.
