Easy installation still sealed with no issue. I always put on tubeless first without sealant, try to seal it then open it up and put sealant in the tire. This new Conti kept pressure up without the sealant! Difficult to compare rolling resistance but probably one of the best.
Not the easiest to install or seat onto my Hunt carbon ribs, but once set up, these tires ride extremely well and even took them on gravel trails. Ride great on the road and trails.
I've been riding and doing most of my own bike maintenance for going on 28 seasons and I've never encountered a tire that was so difficult to mount. In fact, I never got it mounted. I tried both tires on 2 different HED wheels, but no dice. I spoke with the mechanic at my LBS and he said that they are that tight and are near impossible to get on/off. In the end I had to return them.
No more flats, but fairly expensive.
Frankly, I have given up trying to mount these. A lot of anguish and the effort to mount them even drew blood. What a waste of money!
I am a long time cyclist and not a rookie at putting tires on rims. This is not the first difficult time I've had with Continentals but even though the others were difficult this is the one I finally gave up on. I had to give it one star as zero isn't an option.
Can I have my money back?
Absolutely impossible to mount on Rovals. Literally, will not go on. Tried everything including a tire jack and heating the tire. Took it to LBS; couldn't do it, either. Would give it zero if I could since it's useless.
I did not have the hand strength to mount the GP5000. I am able to mount the GP5000S. They roll easy and have good traction. Overall great tire.
everything they claim to be.....
Great tires
Great service
Perfect. Easy to mount and ride great.
These tires are way easier to mount with much less finger damage and swearing the the GP 5000 TLs. I've only ridden a few hundred miles without any issues so far, but clearly not enough to speak to longevity. So far, seems to have a similar ride feel to the previous GP 5000 TL. These tires are very hard to come by. Waited about 4 months for the set.
I have been running TL tires now for several years and found the Continental Grand Prix 5000 TL to be the best tire around. Great performance in both training rides and races and peace of mind knowing I am running a great tire. Highly recommend this tire, it may be a little pricey but well worth it.
Love the roll! Smooth, reliable, fast. Can be a little tough to mount the first time but I consider that a good thing.
Seals well enough to ride without any sealant on my carbon rims. Mounts easily, inflates with the pesta valve in place, but that might say more about my rims then the tire. Plus it's fast.
ENVE approves only hookless rim compatible tires for use on their hookless rims, so I'm glad I can now safely try a GP5000 set. (I know a number of people have gone through the difficulty of mounting the earlier hooked GP5000 tire version on ENVE hookless rims, so these new tires ought to make them much happier too.)

Best tire made. LIght but thick rubber to prevent punctures. The best tire to get to avoid flats.
After 250 road miles they have good grip and roll smoothly
Easy installation, fastest rolling, and I've had no flats. GP 5000s seems like the default answer for the best road tire.
I needed a tubeless tire and the Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR was the best choice to meet my needs.
Long Lasting and super fast tires.
