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?
I've been using Continental tires for years....first the GP 4000, the GP 4000 - II, the 4 Seasons, the Gatorskins.....and now the GP 5000!
All great tires that are durable and reliable! I use the GP 5000's on both my Tarmac and Roubaix with excellent results.
If you have worn out tires just about any tire is an upgrade. These are certainly worth snagging when in the market. I've had no issues seating them on the wheel, they handle decent, and so far no flats. After a few rides I am a bit dubious of their life, but you can't have everything. I would consider these again if I get some miles out of these. If they wear quickly (as I fear) I'd probably go another direction for the money.
Initially ordered wrong size and replaced with no hassle Thanks for the great service
Just completed a 50 mile ride out to Corbett yesterday from Northeast Portland and hit a lot of glass but not a single flat because these tires are fantastic and not prone to flats.
I put at least 5000 miles a year on my bike and I've got a whole year with these tires and only one flat
Continental GP5000 tires are the only ones I use. I put 2 on my bike at the beginning of every year. They always last the 8,000 or so miles I put on them. Use standard tube and they almost never flat. They corner well and ride smooth too.
I purchased the cream wall tires , look great and Very smooth riding tire, great puncture resistant tire over 700 miles. Won't use no other tire. Worth every penny !
Rolls very quickly plus great grip around corners. Top quality tire.
One of the lowest rolling resistance tires and all around performers out there for the money. This has become my "go-to" tire and have it on several bikes.
Got the 28c recently, noticeably smoother and grippier than the 25c at slightly lower psi and based on initial impressions, can't say I feel any slower. Cornering does feel more secure and if the 28's are supposed to perform better in wet conditions than the 25's then even better as the 25's worked fine for me in the rain. Will see how long these last. So far no punctures on my 25's after 2000 miles but perhaps I just jinxed myself...
Feels good
The Continental makes for a smooth comfortable ride. They absorb some of the roughness of the road. I also found them to be puncture resistant. I had only two flats all year. For a tire that grips so well in the corners, they wear very well.
Love these tires. Light, fast, durable and sticky! I've ridden numerous other tires and these are the best....250 mile training week, crit, social ride..... it doesn't matter these tires do it all!
Started using these Conties again and nice and sticky and good flat protection. I train and race on these.
You can't go wrong with these, pricey but when on sale can be a good buy, stock up when on sale.
Road riding lots of road riding, at my age (68) it seems like the right thing to do, and the Grand Prix 5000s are great tires to do lots of miles on, I really have never had a problem with them!
