ContinentalGrand Prix 5000 AS TR Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

The conti brand continues to innovate and refine. The 5000 AS TR take the 5000 life to a new level. As an all season tyre, the grip is perfect for 'all season' riding. Grips great in wet conditions, while rolling fairly fast in dry. Admittedly, they can be a bit challenging to mount, but with patience and practice, I've overcome that small hurdle.

They set up tubeless without much fuss on a wheelset with 19mm internal width. I have had two punctures in the past two months, but both punctures sealed with sealant while I was riding and I didn't even notice them until I got home. I ordered these tires in 35mm, and they blew up to 34mm on my rims. I have another set of wheels with 24mm internal width with some 32mm tires, and they measure the same 34mm width. This is a good width for me, as it allows me to run low pressure (~50psi) which isolates a lot of road roughness and also allows the tubeless system to work better.

These replaced a well-worn set of Gator Hardshells on my winter setup and they are a noticeable upgrade in ride quality. Much faster, better wet grip, and far more supple over rough road. No flats yet with about 250 miles running butyl tubes.

Have had these on the road bike for a few weeks. Replaced Conti GP4000 4 Seasons. The GP5000 seems quite a bit faster, and grippier. Been riding in the rain with a lot of confidence. Can't comment yet on puncture resistance or longevity. Mounted on Enve M50s - tight to get on, seated with floor pump + storage / release chamber.

Happy with this product, good so far! I needed a replacement, and got it very fast to ride again... thank you!

For this winter, I swapped in GP 5000 AS TR (32mm) for the regular GP 5000 (28mm), using butyl tubes. Grippy in the wet, over firm gravel and small rocks, dropping 5+ PSI. Slightly heavier and a tight fit on HED Ardennes RA so I used levers to install. Fast enough to set PRs. Get the black for the reflective sidewall!

There is a reason these are the standard go-to for most commuters. They feel a little slow, but the ride is comfortable and no flats.

I've got about 500 miles on these so far and liking them a lot. I ride on a lot of chipseal roads and these tires smooth them out.

I've had the previous version and had over 2500 mile on them before road debris sliced them open. We'll see how many miles I can get out of them.

Wow! Easy to mount tubless on Reynolds's ATR carbon wheel set, look very nice and grip is amazing on pavement. Haven't tried them off pavement yet.

Road rides of 50 miles or so are faster smoother and flat free.

I bought these Conti's to replace the same tires on my road bike. I'm using 32 mm tires which plump up to 34 mm on the Zipp 303 FC's. I run them at 41psi F/B. After 6k miles with no flats the rear is toast, i.e., wear marks are gone. They mount up tubeless with a track pump.

These are great performing tires, but very hard to get on some rims. I could barely get them on older carbon Enve 3.4s. The Enve wheels cracked after 11 years. Now I have Astral Veil carbon wheels and cannot get the 2022 GP5's on even with special tools. Buying a different brand now to get rolling again. Check about the difficulty before you assume they will go on easily enough to fix a flat on the road. Otherwise they are 5 star.

I installed these tires on the road wheel set I use on my Trek Checkpoint gravel bike. My previous set of tires were Conti GP 5000 with tubes in size 28. Those were great with 0 flats over quite a few miles. When they finally wore out, I wanted to switch over to tubeless and decided to try the wider 32mm width. I only have a couple of rides on these so far, so can't speak to durability, but the ride is extremely smooth without feeling sluggish. I'm typically riding solo, and not racing so I'm not seeking the fastest tire possible - durability is more important to me. That said, these don't feel slow at all, and the ride comfort is superior. I've been running at about 55psi up front and 56 in the rear.

I needed levers for install, and it definitely took a little elbow grease, but nothing terribly difficult. Tires sealed with Orange Seal and only a floor pump. So far, I would definitely recommend.

The 32mm wide tires allow me to ride with TPU tubes at 51 psi front & 54 psi rear, due to firm sidewalls, and provides a soft ride with great traction. I don't yet know the longevity of these tires, but others have commented positively. Although they're more costly, all the benefits seem worthwhile and the reviews are very positive (https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com). My only negative is that they're really hard to install (probably because they're intended to be used as tubeless).

You can't help but notice the quality of these tires when you first unbox them, very tight production tolerances with no discernable irregularities - even the excess rubber in the center of the tread is very

consistent. They do feel, stiff but it doesn't translate to a harsh ride. I think it is just a very dense compound. I just gave them a 40 mile maiden voyage on a typical late-Fall New England day with a mix of good, bad and truly horrendous wet roads and came away extremely impressed, such a great ride quality with loads of grip. The active comfort technology must be legit, these might be the best tubeless tires I've ridden to date as far as road feel goes - it's really like riding on clouds compared to many other race tires I've tried. They also feel very fast, honestly I could not detect the rolling resistance from these tires even on inclines and even though they are heavy-ish I didn't notice the weight. I didn't do any categorized climbs of course but a few steep ones anyway. Hopefully they will last me at least a few thousand miles, judging by all the 5 star reviews here and on other websites there appears to be a good chance they will.

I've been riding Conti GP tires for decades with GP4000 and GP5000 clinchers that typically lasted about a year before getting a sidewall or tread cut that warranted replacement. Switched to GP5000 TR when I went tubeless and while they were great, durability was an issue and had 2 flats within two months vs having zero punctures in years. Read the new GP5000 TR was made a bit thinner for greater speed. So switched to these GP5000 AS TR and so far no flats and hope to get at least a season out of them. Feel just as grippy and fast as the GP5000 TR but maybe slightly less supple. I have them in 32mm and are perfect for the imperfect SF Bay Area roads.

Continental has been my choice of tires for over 20 yrs. Started with the 4000 series 2003/2005 .They are still the best road tires for the type of long distance rides that i enjoy, 60+ mile days on paved roadways. I get between 5000/6000 miles on a set. I rotate them every 1500/2000 miles,depending on how well they are wearing which for me is about every 3 months. Not too much trouble as I have 2 sets of wheels mounted with these tires to swap out between. Running both sets tubeless.Wish the price were not so high,but I will still keep using them as I think they are the best tires for how I use them.

This GP 5000 As-TR with the latest version of Black Chili compound gives a glued-down amount of confidence-inspiring grip. I paired this in 25c as a rear tire with an Aero 111 in 26c on the front on 19mm internal width TL wheels (I weigh 180lbs). With 65psi r and 60psi f on far-less than perfect worn city streets with lost of cracks, debris and old road construction scars. I felt total confidence on this tire on my hilly up and downhill training rides. In terms of road feel/comfort, the change is dramatic. Owed to the 12-15 less psi as well as the lack of inner-tube. The tire construction itself is said to incorporate "Active-Comfort" elastomer which "absorbs road vibrations and smooths the ride"...

It apparently DOES work! I finished my rides feeling less fatigued and less of the usual effects from road buzz and vibrations. Bravo, Continental !!

I was having lots of punctures with city riding on the GP5k S TR in the rain (3 sets in 4 months, all in the wet), picking up lots of grit and causing large, unfixable gashes. Switched to the AS TR in the same size, and after 500miles they're holding up strong.

Wet grip seems on par with the S TR, dry grip slightly worse. They feel slower than the S TR, but it's a worthy compromise for my winter riding.
