Description The Fastest GP5000, Tubeless Ready
The Continental Grand Prix 5000 TT TdF LTD is the specialist for the fight against the clock and the hunt for speed. Mount up the same tires used by the pros in their debut at the prologue time trial at the 2022 Tour de France.
Ideal for TTs, triathlons, and criteriums, this tire is a limited edition, honoring the rich history and evolving future of time trials in the Tour de France. Coming in 25g lighter than the already fast GP5000 S TR, Continental has engineered an even faster and lighter tire that offers a 17-second saving over a 40 kilometer time trial.
Despite this tire's exceptionally low weight and rolling resistance, Continental's "Black Chili" rubber compound ensures maximum grip in corners, and their tear-resistant Vectran Breaker layer protects against punctures and tears when it matters most.
Features:
Lazer grip — Micro profile structure on the shoulder for increased cornering grip
Black Chili Rubber Compound — Proprietary rubber formula for optimal grip and minimal rolling resistance
Vectran Breaker — Excellent tear and puncture resistance with low weight
ActiveComfort — Absorbs shocks and provides outstanding riding experience
Tubeless Ready — Construction keeps the tire from losing air while also being extremely puncture proof
Hookless compatible
220 TPI in 2 layers
Claimed weight of 215g

Smooth ride with higher pressures

I purchased a set of Conti TdF TTT tires to race my 8th and final time @ Hawaii Ironman. While training, I experienced pinch flats on both front and rear wheels riding at my usual 75 psi/25mm tire width. The contact patch on these tires appears wider than on standard Conti 5000 GP @ the same pressure.When I increased to 90-100, the tires worked great. The sidewalls seem to be more supple - flexing more deeply - than Conti's standard 5000 GP tires. Road feel @ 90-100 psi for this 66kg rider is than same as 70-75.
Pricey, but superior to other Contis.
