Easy to change and long lasting
These are excellent tires, but if I did not know whether I was on my older 4000s or my new 5000s I could not tell the difference.
Been riding Continental for a long time. They just seem to get better. Never get flats, and pair them with a latex tube and sing to you.
We switched over to the 32s of this model from a light touring tire for the summer. We have a tandem that can run up to 38s but these fit the bit for nice pavement to chip seal country roads. They are much faster and corner great. They also have a nice road feel as the larger volume lets us get away with lower pressure. Wouldnt take these on dirt, but thats not what they are made for!
I use them for cycling. I like their durability and smooth ride.
I ride this tire in a 700c x 25mm size daily on asphalt, typically 20 - 60 miles. I used to switch to Gator Skins for Fully Supported week long tours, but this year I have left the 5000S tires on my bike rims and they are proving surprisingly flat resistant. I may switch to a 28mm width for the next week tour.
It used to be a great tire. Not anymore. Terrible material quality. Great company but not for their GP 5000 product anymore.
Took another chance after giving up on earlier Grand Prix versions due to way too many flats, blow outs, etc. Tried these and they are great!
I'm happy to be back on the Conti's.
Picked up a pair of the 700c x 25mm tires when they were on sale. I couldn't tell a noticeable difference over the previous model of this tire (GP 4000 SII) but I did use them in a 60 mile race and they rolled as smooth as butter, gave a soft ride. They have not punctured after 350 miles of riding so far and that includes over some rough gravel and road debris. If you can grab these when they are on sale you can't go wrong.
The 5000 is the replacement for my go to 4000 SII. Improved rolling resistance, puncture resistance and grip makes this my new go to tire. It has the nice aero shape of the 4000 and rides just as nice. Highly recommend the 5000.
The GP5000 is all it is supposed to be. I've been riding the GP4000SII for several years. It has been a great tire for our rough roads. It has been durable and fast. The GP5000 appears to be just as durable and seems to roll better. Recommend these tires to everyone. I do fast group rides and several long ridesraces per year.
I use these on the road 50-75 miles a week . They hold the road very well . First night out ran into heavy rain 5 miles into a 25 mile ride.They did very well at 32 mph in a tight down hill curve. I was stupid but they were fantastic.
I have been riding the Continental Grand Prix tires for many many years.
Previously always the 4000 S. Now...the new Grand Prix 5000.
I find these tires to be even better. They seem to roll better, smoother, and just feel great !
I think the shock absorption is superior, and they just make the bike feel better than before.
Very nice, I highly recommend these tires.
I ride about 75 mi. a wk. 25 mi. per ride average speed 13.5 14.5 on blacktop streets ,usually the same route ,I bought these tires 2 mo. ago and cannot attest to the durability at this point but I will say that they are by far the best rolling and fastest tires I have ever owned over the last 27yrs. .
Fast rolling, grippy tire. 4-500 miles in and no complaints.
Pump up to 100 PSI and your bike becoms the rocket.
I have this tire mounted on a Fulcrum Racing 3db and it's a really nice combination. Ride, handling, rolling are all top notch. Expensive, but worth it. Can't speak to durability yet since I only have a few hundred miles on them.
These are the only tires i put on our bikes! And for the price this is perfect.
Rolls great and durability.
