For most things I'll have to trust the reviews from people who can take precise measurements, but I can say these tires were easy enough to mount and provide a nice smooth ride.
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.
best performance tires going right now. Breeze to setup tubeless and easy to mount.
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.
Fast and comfortable. They wear fast tho.
Great tires, ,maybe not the best value but roll well and slick looking.
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.
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.)

This is my first set of tubleless tires and so far I love them. Ride is smooth and no more having to change a flat out in the cold weather
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.
No more flats, but fairly expensive.
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.
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.
Best tire made. LIght but thick rubber to prevent punctures. The best tire to get to avoid flats.
Easy installation, fastest rolling, and I've had no flats. GP 5000s seems like the default answer for the best road tire.
