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

I just made the transition to tubeless and really like these tires! They were one of the lighter options I looked at and I enjoy the ride with them! They feel super compliant and have great grip, they roll really well and have been very durable so far. I had read that some folks have difficulty mounting them them but I fortunately did not. Once they were on the rims I was able to inflate them using a standard floor pump! They are a super sweet tire!

The previous generation was an excellent tire; the latest generation is even better. It is more supple and grippier, and the overall ride quality is improved. They are still difficult to mount on tubeless rims, but that's largely true of all road tubeless tires in narrow widths like 25mm. I got about 3,400 miles out of my previous set with no flats before they started looking dry and stiff. I suspect I will get even more longevity out of these.

The dream tire for tubeless enthusiasts- this is my go to tire. Reliable fast rolling tire that�s head and shoulders above all other brands. Western Bike works provides great deals and service.

I have been riding the 500 tubules series since the very first ones availability and love these tires, recently road a mountain route in California that ended up with several washout areas of very jagged rough rock and gravel and I just knew I wouldn't get through without a puncure but I did and was amazed. I have never been flatted and ride mostly in the city with glass everywhere.

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.

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).

Used the 32mm on Hunt Gravel Hookless 35mm deep carbon rims with a 25mm internal width. More difficult to mount than Schwalbe Pro One TLEs. Smooth rolling and grippy with cornering. Doesn't fit as well as the Schwalbe tires--reason being is that when I remove the core to add sealant, there are some small leaks from where the bead gets unseated. Other than that, great 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.

I�ve ridden many other tire brands but none of them provided me with the confidence like Continental. The tires handled dry/wet pavement conditions with no problem. The rolling resistance was very noticeable and offered a comfortable ride. Truly the best tires on the market.

I've only been riding for about 12 years or so. When I first started, I was using 23mm pumped to 100. Riding these I only pump to 85 or 90.

So much better.

I have had maybe 3-4 sets of 28mm and 30mm tyres running tubeless and on my local bad road surfaces I have had failures that were not resolved with sealant or with a dyna plug.

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.

This is one of the fastest tires out there as proven by its use by a significant number of World Tour teams. I have them on two bikes and have not had a puncture in over a year.

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.

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

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.

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
