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

This is my first time using the GP 5000 S TR, and right out of the packaging, these tires are super impressive. They a supple, which made installation easy and effortless. I was able to get them seated on my carbon rims with a floor pump. I�m a novice mechanic at best, and it took me less than 30 minutes to get them installed, filled with sealant, and out on the road. That�s a win for me. The ride is plush and I feel like I�m on rails when entering turns at speed. Really impressed with these tires. Aesthetically, they look fantastic, too.

Contis are excellent road tires, nearing 3K miles on current set, and replaced with same.

Fast pace group rides.

Have been using these and the previous model for years now. For me the overall feel is what I like best. Connected to the road but very supple. I seem to get about one flat a year with these and most of the time the sealant keeps the tire from going flat. They do not last as long as some harder tires but the handling and feel are well worth it. I now run about 90psi in the back and 85 up front in the 25s. I get almost two to one on changes front to back.

I run this tire as a tubeless and get about 3000 miles on chip and seal roads.The rear tire (~2600-2800 miles) wears faster than the front (3200 miles). I like the weight, traction, cornering charcateristics. I don't like that they seem to be prone to gets tears, lacerations, and small chunks out of the rubber, and wear rather quickly. From what I understand, these are the racing version of the GP5000 lineup (vs the AT-S version. The AT-S version is .33# heavier per pair, but have thicker rubber/wear longer). These are easy to mount and seal on my Hunt 44/54 wheelset. For me, it's a balance of weight vs performance/longevity. I'm running the 28mm, which has been great for smoothing the chip n' seal roads I encounter, and much better when descending than a 25mm IME. I like the way they grip the road. They seem faster when new. While they aren't perfect, I think they hit the balance between weight and performance. They are speedy, but I buy 2-4 tires at a time when they're on sale, so I always have at least one spare in the shop. Western Bike Works has these on sale quite a bit, and are quick to ship them. The 28's were out of stock for awhile this summer at just about all retailers (premium price/in stock on Amazon though).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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

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

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.

I'm a pretty big guy (190lbs), I ride in and around New York City (lots of less-than-ideal road surfaces, to put it kindly) and I rack up meaningful mileage (~9,000 miles/yr). So I am a destroyer of tires. I'm not really road racing right now, but I still prefer the road feel of a good race tire.

Other tires I have run (all in 28mm tubeless, mostly on ENVE rims) :

Schwalbe Pro One - it's been a few years, but the pair I had got cut up faster than any other tire I had used to date

Enve SES - loved the road feel of these tires, but have never gone more than 100 miles without puncturing a rear tire. Front tire was ok for a decent amount of time.

Vittoria Corsa Pro and variations: loved the way these rolled, but not durable enough for me

Hutchinson Secteur: a very durable tire that rolled acceptably, but seems to be gone now?

Teravail Rampart: durable, but honestly I didn't realize how terrible a road tire could feel! It was like riding in mud

Once I landed on the GP5K S TR, I have not looked back, except to occasionally test out other tires. They are really nice on the road, and, in my experience, have been more durable than other tires.

Punctures happen, and not generally in consistent ways, so I am careful not to blame a new tire if I happen to puncture early in its service. But when a tire consistently punctures early in its life, over multiple tires, that's when I say goodbye.

After about 1500 miles the rear has plenty of cuts and a decent amount of wear, more than half way to the garbage can. The front still looks pretty good. Got a few flats on the rear in the last couple hundred miles.

I am riding on the 32mm wide version of this tire on Zipp Firecrest 303 wheels (25mm inner diameter) at 50/52 psi F/R. I weigh 185 lbs. They are both wearing well after 1500 miles use. The front tire still shows a trace of the casting seam in the middle of the contact surface, but not the back. Wear dimples are still visible on both tires. I have only found two tiny nicks from road trash in the contact patch of the rear tire. Sidewalls are in pristine condition. They roll very well and are extremely comfortable. I thought I was on a new bike after replacing 28mm tubed Conti GP5000 S tires on Mavic rims with 17mm ID. I expect the front tire to last for over 6,000 miles, perhaps much more. One of my Conti GP5000 S tubed 28mm tires lasted 10,000 miles before I replaced it. I have front and back ones still rolling with 8400 miles. I hope to get similar life out of these tubeless ready tires.
