These tires are great that i saw it on sale and need it to buy another pair. I love the built and smooth ride
Another great purchase from Western! A great shop!
Loved the GP 4000 because of the combination of speed and durability. The 5000s are faster but poor durability. 3 flats in the first 100 miles with cuts in the tire on regular San Diego Roads. Had to throw the tire away before wasting more money on tubes.
I have tried many different tires over the years and always came back to Continental 4000. These new 5000s are truly an improvement over an already great tire. The ride is smooth and comfortable. The cornering is where I really notice it. These are very sure and confident. I live in Colorado and love riding in the mountains with these. So far seem very tough as well with no flats, or cuts. Not sure on the mileage yet.
Can't say enough about these. My bike felt better than new, wanna say game changer, but that's overused. I felt it brought out all the handling characteristics that was engineered into my bike. Made me more stable in crosswinds, greater stability at high speeds, best all around tire on the market.
I'm a fan of Continentals. My very first ride with these tires I managed to pick up a goat head and that caused a little road side delay, but other than that, I've put a few hundred miles these. So far, they have been very stable and predictable handling, so i couldn't be happier
These are I believe about the best clincher road tires I have ever used. A good compromise on the essential characteristics.
Nice and light. Super confortable tire.
I love these light weight high performance tires
Seems like a must for racing, looks great, costs too much but that's nothing new for bike equipment. Can't say anything about long term durability though because I've only put in a few hundred kms on them so far.
I went tubeless, my bike handled like it did when it was new. Any line i wanted to follow in a turn, the bike dove into, and begged for me to go faster the next time. Truly an underrated tire.
Ive had less flats and less punctures since making the switch to the GP 5000. Great choice, you wont regret it!
Great grip, better than GP4000iis, less noise too, tends to soften faster and in teh wet is as good as a wet tyre
I have had these on most of my bikes in a size 28mm and they are lighter, more puncture resistant, and have better rolling resistance compared to the GP 4000. I find the tires to be very grippy, fast, and knock on one I haven't had one puncture yet. The only downsides is that there a true road tire so I wouldn't really want to do light gravel on these. Secondly these aren't cheap. I would recommend buying them in a 2 pack to get the best savings.
Ride these in my bikes in Napa Valley. Rough rides, potholes etc. Would not use any other tire.
I use this tire for my daily rides(5-6 days a week) and with the exception of a couple of flats early on,once I started using heavy duty intertubes I have not had a problem. My speed might have been a little faster with thinner tubes but it's nothing significant. I'm not a racer
Love these tires. Run great rain or shine.
Tires were a little tight to put on. However, they feel great when riding!
Great riding tire, love the feel of these and do think they are an improvement in ride over the 4000s but I have already had several flats and a couple good slices in the tread which require a replacement after 2 months and approx 800 miles of riding. The all season 4000 offer the best puncture resistance for me and tread wear but not as smooth of ride as the new 5000
Easy to change and long lasting
