Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tire

After a series of flat tires, 5 or six flats over a 6 month period, an extremely unusual experience for me, I chose to tubeless. I rode the same routes where I had repeatedly flatted w/o a problem. I have ridden these tires about 1800 miles since installing them and had only one flat, a week after I installed. Beyond being far less prone to flatting, they were noticeably faster than my tubed GP 5000s. They also corner noticeably better, and, at the same time, have to same wonderful road feel I expect from GP tires. I have been using Continental tires for more than 40 years. These are, by far, the best I have ever used. The wear dimples are still showing after 1800 miles of chip seal rides, so they look like they will last well into the 3000 mile range. Tubeless systems do require rims specifically designed for the purpose, and a pump capable of delivering an initial burst of air sufficient to set the bead of the tire before it can be inflated. It is much easier than I anticipated, and having done it, I will never go back. Continental, as I said, is my go to first choice, and they have never disappointed me.

Looks great, rides great, doesn't flat and generally keeps psi. I am a 90kg rider on Shimano C36 wheels and will get one 2,500 mile outdoor season on these, but no more. At 1,800 miles the tire tire wear indicators are almost invisible. For me, one season is good enough, but budget riders will want to look elsewhere. I just keep an eye out for sales, and budget for them annually.

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.

I run these on my Aethos with my Enve All Road 3.4 wheels. They stick well and feel fast. I doubt doubt them at all descending or cornering. I keep a few spares on hand, as I plan to use this model forever.

If you love the traditional Conti Grand Prix ride feel, you will love these. Easy tubeless install, super sticky on the roads when you need them to be and not sticky from weeping sealant, if you have had that issue? My previous Schwalbe Pro One's lost sealant through the porous sidewalls and the wheels were always sticky, not in a good way! Sealant issues begone and a luxe ride, can't go wrong. Too new to speak about longevity but if the past holds true, you get a great performance driven life out of conti, thrilled with their update and them being back in my stable.

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.

Service was great. Western always has best pricing and most material in stock. Shipping, which can be an issue, was fast and convenient.

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!

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

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.

Tires are used on road bike. They were easy to mount on DT Swiss carbon wheels. They roll fast, have good grip on corners and have been very resistant to cuts and punctures.

Great ride and fast

Easy to mount

Reasonably durable 1000 miles plus

Expensive

After 1k miles ridden on this tires I can say Conti 5000 S TR new tire is better than old 5000 one. Feels like is faster, more supple and have better grip probably due to lower pressure. Max tire pressure for 700x30 is listed 70psi but since its made for tubless setup - shall be fine for even for heavier riders. No flats or cuts or other issues so far and based on regular tear and wear seems like I can squeeze more miles from those, compare to the previous Conti 5000`s.

I decided to try out a pair of these tires based upon reviews that I had read.

I must say that from a performance perspective the lived up the hype. Grippy and fast. Although the ride seemed to be a bit harsher than what I experienced with the Enve tires I had ridden previously.

What I don't like is that they seem to be more prone to punctures & cuts than my Enves. The surfaces I ride are primarily chip seal, so sharp little rocks are the norm for these types of roads.

After 4 weeks, I've already had to replace one of my tires due to a cut, that couldn't be plugged. I rode my Enves on these same roads with no significant issues.

I'm giving these tires a 2nd chance but will find something else to ride, if they continue to cut & puncture so easily.

Really love the feel of these, they�re light and fast. Unlike the schwalbes and the enves they seem to retain their speed after the first hundred miles.

Very susceptible to small punctures- definitely not as durable as the schwalbes. Probably equivalent to the enves.

Love the roll! Smooth, reliable, fast. Can be a little tough to mount the first time but I consider that a good thing.

I've seen great performance from these tires in the 30mm width running tubeless on a wide carbon rim. On road they roll fast and feel like a magic carpet. Very grippy. On broken tarmac they soak up the bumps and on gravel they endure way better than they should. So far no punctures after about 1k miles and they still hold pressure for days. I found them no more difficult than other tubeless tires to mount. Technique is key. Study some online videos to make the task easier.

I had previous experience with the 32mm tubeless GP5000 on a gravel bike with 38mm rims. On very unscientific downhill rolling tests, I would consistently gap riders on road bikes -- I chalked up the surprising downhill speed to the higher weight of the gravel bike.

Going to an aero road bike I first used 28mm tubeless Vittoria Corsas. Seemed fine, but when I was ready to replace them and wanted 30mm tires, the GP5000s were the only easily available option.

Again, not a scientific comparison, but there's every indication that the 30mm Contis are faster than the 28mm Vittorias. First ride with the Contis was no big deal, but once scrubbed in they really started to shine. It felt like going from the Vittorias to the Contis was like going from the gravel bike to the aero road bike -- the Contis are that good. Possibly a good mile-an-hour faster or more.

Grip and comfort are excellent (rider+bike=175lbs; front 58 PSI, rear 62 PSI). I don't bother mounting my own TL tires -- it's always a struggle on my Reserve wheels so I let a shop take care of it, especially with their air compressor. That said, I struggled to even get one side of the Contis over the rim; they're extremely tight.
