If there's a better all around tire out there, I haven't met it.
I bought these to use on my gravel bike for road rides. Install was very easy, and not a single issue with them after 500-1000 miles on rough asphalt roads. Very satisfied.
Good tire for training & racing. seems to hold up well.
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.
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 absolutely give these tires a 5 star rating. They are hands down the fastest, smoothest, and puncture resistant tubeless tires I have used. I was hesitant to make the jump to these tires, but after using them in Lotoja with no issues whatsoever I'm definitely a believer.
I went tubeless last year with the older style GP 5000 TLs, put well over 5000 miles on them with no problems at all. So far these new ones seem to be more of the same even better if that's possible.
Easy mount. Great ride. Definitely worth the price.
If you want speed these are the tires to go with
The rolling resistance of this tire is too grippy and slow. They are also bouncy over bumps in the road. My average speed is one MPH slower with these tires. The surface of the tire is rough not smooth like Schwalbe Pro ONE TLE 700c Road Tire (HS493). if I could afford to, I would remove them and install Schwalbe Pro ONE TLE. I find the Schwalbe Pro ONE TLE 700c Road Tire to be a faster with less bounce.
Best road tire, fast and withstands glass/debris on our local roads
Very happy with this tire. Feels as fast subjectively as my turbo cottons, corners better. 28s set up easily tubeless on roval clx 50s and hold air well. Plumps up to about 29-30 measured, depending on your internal rim width.
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.
Tried new Conti 5000 and side wall definitely under performs in puncture resistance. Half a dozen rides ?? pretty $$$. I felt nearly bullet proof on 4000's. Its either some really bad luck or these are just slow racing tires.
For these tires to work well you have to have the right rim which is a hookless rim like Zip 303 firecrest or other if you have older rims it'll be difficult to mount because they do meet new ISO standards for newer rims and tires
This is the last continental tyre I will purchase. I used gp4k clinchers for years, then went to gp5k tubeless which worked alright. You could find them for $65 bucks and I'd hope to get 2k miles out of them before too many cuts.
Now to have to purchase a $90 tyre and have it fail and not seal multiple times within the first 1000 miles. Nope. Off to a competitor.
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
