Takes a bit of work to get the bead over the rim the first time, otherwise a great tire.
Love these tires , rarely flat . They have gotten me through many triathlons with no flats . Easy to get on and off .
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 ride thousands of miles a year and have used many major brands including Continental. I used the 400 for years and tried the 5000 when it came out. Great rolling resistance, smooth comfortable feel and very few punctures. I got close to 3000 miles on the rear tire and almost 6000 on the front. Great value and extremely reliable. Would recommend to any road bike rider.
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
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've been a fan of Conti road tires for years and these are the best clincher road tires yet. They're not the most puncture proof but I rarely have problems even with the debris strewn roads of west Los Angeles. Their suppleness is excellent and they're reasonably durable.
I held off on upgrading tires, but wish I had done so sooner. I ran Conti Gatorskins 23ml for years -- I'm now 4 rides into Conti GP5000 25ml and noticed the ride quality (and speed!) difference immediately.
Very smooth and fast tires. Confidence inspiring .
