I've ridden many other tire brands but none of them provided me with the confidence like Continental. The tires handled dry/wet pavement conditions with no problem. The rolling resistance was very noticeable and offered a comfortable ride. Truly the best tires on the market.
California's Central Valley might be flat but the adjacent Sierra Mountains are not. Riding from home I get a great mix of flat terrain and climbs of up to 14% - 16% and even 19%.
The GP 5000S TR has very low rolling resistance, excellent durability and climbs, descends and corners better than any tire I have ridden.
I highly recommend this tire.
Won't buy anything else. Lasts 200 miles +. Hardly ever flat with these
Much easier to mount than my previous GP5k TL tires. Still far from the easiest, but not nearly as many cuss words, beer and planetary alignment required to get these things on. Fast as always, pretty resistant to punctures and a nice ride. Conti continues to impress me.
I had great experience using Contintental's GP line of clincher tires and this tire in tubeless configure delivers on that promise. These were easy to seat on the initial install. These tires perform just as well as the Vittoria Corsa TLRs that preceded them and they seem to be a bit more durable as well. Even on sale, they are pricey, hence only 4 stars on value.
Came back to these after a year on a cheaper set from a different brand. I was immediately reminded how much tire choice impacts the quality of your ride. These are excellent. Expensive, but no more so than other premium tires.
Bought two sets of 32s and have set these up tubeless on two of our bikes (Canyon Endurace with DT Swiss wheels and Trek Domane with Bontrager Aeolus wheels). I was able to mount them by hand on both sets of wheels but it does take some effort. They certainly feel faster than stock tires and are grippy in dry and wet conditions. Fast, smooth, and comfortable.
Only a few miles on them, but the track record is great

After about 1500 miles the rear has plenty of cuts and a decent amount of wear, more than half way to the garbage can. The front still looks pretty good. Got a few flats on the rear in the last couple hundred miles.
Great tire! Sets up nicely with tubeless and its combination of speed and puncture resistance that can't be beat!
My first go around with these tires and I absolutely love them. Fast, smooth, confidence inspiring, and the tan sidewalls look great on my 22 Roubaix Comp. The only negative is that I've only put only 1700 miles on them and the TWI is almost indistinguishable. Gonna switch to the "all season" version of these tires in hopes that they last me over 1 season.
Comfortable, good grip, and feels fast. Great so far. I need more miles to test their puncture protection and durability.
The 30mm were easy to setup on Zipp 303s with a regular floor pump.
Very few tires last so long that the tread is the first to go, after probably 1,000 + miles. With the tubeless setup I don't even notice when I get a thorn, and glass hardly creates a cut in the rubber.
This wheel contributed greatly towards a smoother ride, on alloy or carbon. Unfortunately I've had three puncture flats in two months and will be switching to something else. I knew I was taking a risk. These are excellent as far as performance goes, so my advice would be to use in a specific situation and not expect it to commute well or withstand city roads for very long.
Installed by weak hands on Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels. and only needed a little help with front wheel. Rear wheel inflated with hand pump. Front wheel needed the compressor. 32 mm tires inflated to 32mm. Running tubeless with 42 lbs front and 46 rear. I'm 150 lbs. Superior cornering The only negative is they aren't as compliant as other similar tires I have used.
Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tires are fairly easy to setup tubeless. Thay ride well, stable in corners and smooth on rougher pavement.
I run 30mm 5k S TR at 60/65 pressure and they have loads of grip, roll fast & no punctures in over 2000 miles even though I regularly run over glass, pebbles & road debris.They are tough to mount but i use some sealant on the bead which allows them to slip on & seal up with a standard floor pump. The original GP 5k were great also, 15k & only 2 flats, 1 because I ran out of sealant.
This tire was easy to install and back on the road fast. Love it so far, no problems and comfortably riding.
Very good tire. Never had a problem. They last a long time. The one down side is, they are tubeless tires and are hard to get on.
