I run these on my Aethos with my Enve All Road 3.4 wheels. They stick well and feel fast. I doubt doubt them at all descending or cornering. I keep a few spares on hand, as I plan to use this model forever.
I have had maybe 3-4 sets of 28mm and 30mm tyres running tubeless and on my local bad road surfaces I have had failures that were not resolved with sealant or with a dyna plug.
Good tire for training & racing. seems to hold up well.
I ride on the road about 100 miles/week. I used to ride Gatorskins for their durability, but switched to tubeless about 6 months ago. After an initial failed set of Vittoria Corsa N.EXT tires, I installed a set of GP 5000 S TRs, and couldn't be happier. I ride these tubeless, on Shimano RS370s, at 63 psi. They're very grippy, fast rolling, comfortable, and durable. No leaks/sealing issues using Stan's. My favorite road tires.
These Conti 5000 are the best Tubeless I've tried. I've avoided a number of small punctures as the tires have worked as advertised. Plus they hold air well.
I've been using GP 5000's tubeless for 5-6 years and the S TR since it became available. I've been getting around 5000 miles on each tire on rough pavement and occasional gravel. I like the feel, the grip and the rolling resistance at 65/70 seems as good or better than earlier versions.
Easy mount. Great ride. Definitely worth the price.
If you want speed these are the tires to go with
Best road tire, fast and withstands glass/debris on our local roads
Tough to tubeless mount . Took several attempts.
Riding in these , however, is excellent. Low rolling resistance, and reasonable cut resistance.
Have had several brands of performance road tires, GP 5k is my choice for overall performance. The new S TR, set up tubeless, has been excellent so far, appears to wear well and feels great.
A top shelf tubeless tire - carries on the GP line's tradition of high quality and high performance with decent durability.
This is one of the fastest tires out there as proven by its use by a significant number of World Tour teams. I have them on two bikes and have not had a puncture in over a year.
Like these tires for a year, until my first flat! Tire sealed on the road and I was able to ride the remaining 10 miles home. It held air through the next day until I pumped it up to riding pressure. The sealant could not hold the air pressure and select came out. I then plugged the hole, which solved the problem, but there is a bump where the plug went in. To be safe I'll probably buy a new tire..
I love, love, love these tires. Fast and durable. Not one puncture (that I'm aware of) over several thousand miles. Great road feel and easy to mount on my DT Swiss wheels. FWIW I run these with Silca Ultimate sealant.
I did a recent race 60 miles, when I arrived I noticed everyone was was riding a gravel bike Turns out about 33 miles was gravel, I rode and completed the ride on the 28mm continental 5000 on Cadex hookless wheels at 63 psi ,not a single mark no flats zero problem well maybe one on 10% hill my tiers were spinning so much in the gravel I had walk part of the way up the hill in my road shoes.
This is a phenomenal tire. Amazingly efficient rolling resistance with no compromise when it comes to durability. The tires are incredibly hard to install, but the plus side is that the seal that is created when they are seated is so tight you could almost go without using sealant. Highly recommend these tires.
Great tubeless tire, just converted to tubeless in early winter 2023 so still not sure how much mileage I will get. I average 150-200 miles weekly over 5000 yearly, will update later
I finally wore past the indicators on my rear tire. It rolled 5,281 miles. Incredibly fast, incredibly durable, fantastic puncture protection, easy mounting.
$0.02 per mile for the fastest road tires a pleb can buy.
With my Trek Emanda road and Trek Speed Concept Time Trial
