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 been using the Continental Grand Prix tires for several years now. This newest version seems to work well. I will continue to keep buying them. I have used them with Latex tubes in the past and they work very well. Currently I am trying the Tubolito tubes which are working well with these tires. Not quite the same ride feel as with the Latex tubes though.
Better puncture protection for my needs than any other tire I have used that rolls this well. The compound also feels very grippy versus other similar racing/training tires. Tread wear far surpasses cotton casing tires for a tire that isn't very slower in use by my estimates.
Great grip of the road; resists glass and other sharps items that can cause flats;
A beast to change/put on.
I was a fan of Continental tires (routinely purchasing Gatorskins in the past).
However, when I got my first flat with this tire, I broke a tire lever removing it, and I could not remount the tire without another set of hands to assist me.
I bought two tires and returned one of them after my experience fixing the flat with the first one. I don't want to be stranded if I get a flat and no one is around to help me removing and remounting the tire.
Smooth, great grip, high quality tires.
great tire for the price considering the performance it offers
these tires are really easy to install compared to other tires too
Moved to these tires from the 4000S. These tires seem to be a bit faster (or I am a little fitter). There is an increase in speed with these tires. The black chili rubber is sticky and sticks very well in the corners. I cannot comment on the puncture protection, so far they are holding up well.
Great tires and long-lasting but a bit pricy
Installed these before heading out on a week-long ride. Perfomed well in all conditions - wet, dry, steep and curvy downhills and even some gravel.
I use them for group rides. I don't like getting flats, so I use Conti tires and tubes.
Then only tire I race and train on. Ever since nobody is racing on tubulars anymore.
I can't think of a better all around tire.
Great quality fast tires on open road and light!!
Very smooth and fast tires. Confidence inspiring .
