Great tire on all accounts, traction, handling, wear,
puncture resistance and ease of changing.
It has held up to pretty much every surface I have been on, with excellent roll and soft feel.
My go to tire for low rolling resistance, great performance and standing up to the miles'
I used these for Ironman Wisconsin. Much of the road surfaces were rather poor. And the railroad tracks were worse than the ones I’ve crossed in the Pittsburgh area. There were many flat tires on the bike course, and I’m very thankful to say I wasn’t one of them! These tires held up wonderfully!!
I have about 500 mi. on these tires so far. The grip and ride feel are great. I've got over 50,000 mi. on various bikes and tires. These are a great tire for the money.
These are great tires that hold the road really well. Ordered 32mm for my Orbea road bike and they absorb the bumps well. A bit hard to install, but once on the rim they perform well.
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.
My experience with Continental 4000 and 5000 road tires is superior. They ride best and last longest of any tires I have used over the years.
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.
Still good after 400 miles. Nice surface grip. I've road on very rough and pot hole filled roads with no complaints.
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!!
Great tire that is a nice ride and fast. What else do you need?
Used to ride the GP 4000S and I switched to the 5000, it's keeping me satisfied.
Great road feel with adequate puncture protection. Loved the 4000 but they seemed to have vulnerable side walls. 5000 seems to have better sidewalls.
I use this tire for riding in group rides
I like the puncture resistance of the tire. I live in the goat head state of NM and these tires roll nice and keep me from repairs.
32cm nice grip and more comfort. How long will they last?
