Running tubeless. GP5000 are supple, sticky, and puncture resistant. Little hard to mount but that goes with tubeless system.
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.
Tires ride smooth and comfortable. Slashed front tire on glass at about 400 total miles. Unrepairable. Just bad luck but with these Conti GP5000s that is a spendy run of misfortune..
Using the Grand Prix 5000 S TR tires on my current road bike. Great grip, fast rolling, extremely smooth ride with the tubeless setup even on our crappy Massachusetts roads.
I have these in 25, 28, and 30. I love them!!!
Great all around performance. Confidence inspiring in the corners.
I've used multiple variants of this tire and currently run the 28mm and 30mm versions of this tire. They snapped right on to my Zipp 808s without requiring any tools. The first for a TLR tire in my experience. I was worried there might have been an issue and they wouldn't hold air since they went on so easily - but they seated and held air just great! I will have to see how these compare long term this season but so far so good.
Installation of this tire was extremely hard. It took all my power plus some to get this tire on my TR wheel. However, it filled up with air with my floor pump easily. So far, the ride on this tire is real nice.
Once you break them in, they are the fastest tires I ever had, vs Schwalbe Pro One, Conti GT 5000 TL.
They are really a race or time trial tire, with a bit more puncture protection.
I bought a set of Schwalbe Pro One TE. They are listed as only 15 grams more, but they seem 2X as durable.
This is probably the highest rated road tubeless tire in the market and it does live up to the accolades. According to my bike shop, it was super easy to install/set up. I have been riding with these and they are very smooth. So far, I have had a great experience.
I've used these tires for years and am very happy with them.
The only road bike tire you should be running, whether it be for training for racing
So far I would give them a 5/5 except for two minor things. They are quite difficult for an older fellow with arthritic fingers to get on/off the rims. Also they tend to lose air and need topping off more quickly than one might expect. Perhaps that is standard for tubeless set-ups or maybe for hookless rims.
Mounted on Zips 404 Firecrest hookless wheels effortlessly and I feel confident cornering in both wet and dry conditions. Rolling resistance is negligible from the Continental TL 5000 (28mm) tires I had previously, ride comfort, just fantastic!
I liked the first iteration of these and waited for the second iteration. Mistake. Ruined 2 new tires with in weeks. One sidewall and one big cut. Didn't seem to have much protection. Unfortunately I have several left in stock. Will run them as front tires now.
I use the 5000 s TR for my Zipp wheels which provide so much security against flats. All type of roads don't stop these babies. It's been hard to get but now I'm fully stock. They're so consistent with air pressure especially after refill of tire sealant
I've used Continental tires for years and was relieved that they offered the tubeless, hookless version for my new Zipp wheels!
From my experience the Continental tires are durable and easy to get on and off my wheels!
Too early to say how durable this will be over the long run. The one thing that stood out was how easy it was to get this seated on my tubeless rim - no sweat at all. Definitely not the case for the Vittoria Corsa tire it was replacing which was next to impossible for me to seat.
I have used similar Continental road tires for years with tubes, so I expect great results.
I've only been riding for about 12 years or so. When I first started, I was using 23mm pumped to 100. Riding these I only pump to 85 or 90.
So much better.
Great tires. Fast rolling resistance, low pressures, and no issues with running tubeless with silca sealant. Would recommend 100%
I've used the 28s before for miles and they were good, these 32s are softer and more comfortable.
