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.
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!
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.
Much easier to mount than the tubeless gp 5000
I have it on all my bikes 25's on my Cervelo S5 and 28's on my new Pinarello F. Its durable, fast and light everything i look for in a tire.
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.
Easy to install, smooth rolling, good puncture protection & good looking
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. .
I have rode these tires last 2 of the 9 RAGBRAI's I have participated in. Continental makes a quality product. Well worth the price.
Mount super easy. Very reliable and grippy tires. Good puncture protection too.
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.
Conti Grand Prix 5000 just keep getting better and better. Great puncture and rolling resistance!
Great race tires. Would highly recommend. Super tight bead on them however, might need some real elbow grease to get on.
Can't go wrong with Conti tires. Simply the best.
Fast and reliable. Easy to change and flat more than gatorskins but a better race feel. Good for about 1500 miles
Best tires I've ever had on my bike, got them within a week of ordering. Good service
Great grip great flat resistamce and good price when on sale!
