Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

Good tire with low rolling resistance!

Pros & Cons

Tubeless was not there . So this one on

Pros & Cons

Could replace front and rear 2x in three months due to deep cuts through the kevlar! Absolutely not puncture resistant and durable. My previous standard conti grand prix (so not the 5000) lasted for years!

Pros & Cons

Very fine and very good tire. Especially in (sharp) corners it performs very well and much better than other quality tires. Only one big disadvantage is that they are really hard to mount. I like them better than the schwalbe one. But I still ride the one now because the gp5000 are really hard to mount on my rims, and with a flat on the road you really don't want that. I hope continental will improve that part. In terms of performance, I think the gp5000 is great.

Pros & Cons

I have been trying different tires for years, but like continental 5000 g p I have never found any, the best even for the Rolling Resistance site. I don't give 5 stars because you can always improve !

Pros & Cons

top band

Pros & Cons

Great looking version but sidewall on brown version wafer thin / i have the all black version on another bike and have had no issues after many miles of use ..

Pros & Cons

This 5000S in 28 replaces a 4000 S in 25 at the rear, with which we managed 2000km without a puncture. Although the 25 was a big cutter, the 28's balloon is slightly larger. Nevertheless, it seems easier to ride, especially on nice roads, and offers greater comfort (normal given the size difference) with a little more grip. After 115 km, the wear seems more pronounced. Which leads me to believe that we'll be doing fewer km. For the record, the crew and bike weigh 130kg. Inflated to 7.5 with latex chamber.

Pros & Cons

Tough tire that can handle all terrains

Pros & Cons

I was in need of new tires because my previous set of GP5000 had worn out. I doubted for a long time whether skinwall would fit my bike. But I gave it a try otherwise you never know. I am very happy with the new look (see pictures) and trusted GP5000 tires.

Pros & Cons

top band, nothing else for years

Pros & Cons

I know this type of tire very well, I've been using them for a very long time and I can say that they are great

Pros & Cons

Even a better tire than the 4000s

Pros & Cons

Bought saddle for my wife's E bike and it satisfies perfectly,less saddle pain and the seat is comfortable.

Pros & Cons

Mooie band, rijdt heerlijk. Echter bijna niet om velgen te krijgen (Reynolds solitude). Zie op tegen lekke band onderweg.

Pros & Cons

Very good band

Pros & Cons

Price quality top

Pros & Cons

Ridden over 10000 km on my previous tire set. I am confident that I can cycle the same number of miles again with maybe the occasional flat.

Pros & Cons

First time but won't be the last

Pros & Cons

I mount them on my two bikes nelka 25mm and 28mm version. Both very good. Now with the brown side band versions they give a nice vintage feel to the bike.

Pros & Cons

Grippy and good ride feel (coming from Conti GP 4 Season)

There the wheel rolls again like one :)

Pros & Cons

Fine alround tire, lasts relatively long and I experience less punctures.

Pros & Cons

Tops

Had 2x crack in sidewall. Never had this with the 4000.

Pros & Cons

Top grip, right durability I can only recommend them

Pros & Cons

I have been using them for years without ever having a problem.

Pros & Cons

Durable and long-lasting.

Pros & Cons

With Mantel always okay

Pros & Cons

yield in style with brown flanks. a little dark too bad

Pros & Cons

Very fine tires with a lot of grip!

Pros & Cons

Tires easy to fit. Little rolling resistance at. Good grip in dry weather, but as soon as the roads are wet you have little grip with these tires.

Pros & Cons

The tires are exactly what I expected. I really appreciated the speed of shipping.

Pros & Cons

Haven't had them long but haven't had a puncture for now

Pros & Cons

Great band!

Pros & Cons

The best tire tried so far

Pros & Cons

Very fine tire. I have been riding with Conti for >10 years. Glue small cuts with sec.glue, after 3,000km change front and rear, for total 7,500km with set. Top.

Pros & Cons

still no leakage

Pros & Cons

The German has built a stylish and high performance tire that gives a great experience in all curves. Osbeck

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied , switched from 25mm to 28mm , bolt better and more comfort !

Pros & Cons

Only 200 km driven with it yet. Too short for a good driving experience.

Pros & Cons

Very good tire

Pros & Cons

Top

Pros & Cons

I personally have been using them for two years. I can only say that they are the best in my opinion Safe quiet and extremely smooth

Pros & Cons

Leak-proof and good grip

Pros & Cons

very fine band

Pros & Cons

By far the best tire I have tested. Durable, gets a lot of miles. Very rarely gets a puncture.

Pros & Cons

Good tire, good puncture protection. Too bad they wear out.

Pros & Cons

many things tried on the market, you just keep rolling back to conti

Pros & Cons

Pure speed tires

Pros & Cons

After 1000 km I notice deformation in the tire. Both in height and width. And yes it lies well on the rim and checked with different tubes. Seems like less care is taken in the production process. Been riding conti for 10+ years and also the 4 seasons which are a lot better.

Pros & Cons

Excellent band. Better than its predecessor ????

Pros & Cons

Been riding this for several weeks now. Already had many hundreds of kilometers and no punctures yet. Before this I had brand new Vittoria Corsa's, same number of kilometers, 2 punctures.... So far super good and fast tire.

Pros & Cons

Product offered at an excellent value for money and delivered on time

Pros & Cons

Have now done 2 dry rides with the tires. Previously I had the Schwalbe One 30mm. These Continentals in 28 seem to have lower rolling resistance. They feel very reliable when cornering. I really like the looks of the brown skinwall. Nicer even than the standard skinwall color you often find.

Pros & Cons

For many years I have used this tire because I have virtually no punctures.

Pros & Cons

I've been using it for years, in all weathers and on all kinds of roads.

Pros & Cons

Within a year cracking and puncturing. I was very satisfied with the Continental 4000 but not this one for me anymore

Pros & Cons

First impression positive: coats are light, have low rolling resistance and look good. After 200 km then the disillusionment: crack in the side flank at low speed on smooth asphalt. This should not happen with a tire in this price range.

Pros & Cons

For me the best scoring on all subjects; Fast delivery.

Pros & Cons

Very fast delivery

Pros & Cons

Perfect

Pros & Cons

Does not last long enough (significantly less long than the 4000S II).

Pros & Cons

Ridden the 4000 for years. This is a steep drop in durability compared to that.

Pros & Cons

It takes blood, sweat and tears to get the tires on (with 2 people), but once they are on it is a fine tire.

Pros & Cons

After switching to Vittoria for a while because there was no skin-wall version of the GP5000 yet, I am very happy to put these tires with skin-wall again.

Pros & Cons

Nice balance between low rolling resistance and grip in most conditions. Too early to judge puncture protection. The gum wall finish looks good on my carbon wheels. The tyres were easy to fit. They have come up a little narrower than some other brands I have used on these wheels

Pros & Cons

Excellent tires. Did many safe and enjoyable miles on the previous set. Highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

Fast delivery, haven't cycled with it yet. Previous 5000 lasted almost 2 years

Pros & Cons

very competitive price for a top quality road tyre which is difficult to source in the large size at the moment, you will pay significantly more on other websites, delivery was fast, very pleased with purchase

Pros & Cons

characteristics match the expectation

Pros & Cons

Excellent tire with long life, very satisfied with it.

Pros & Cons

For years my favorite tire. To put the tire on for the first time, I put talcum powder in my hand and run the edge of the tire through it. Putting it on goes a lot smoother1

Pros & Cons

Very smooth running, grips the road well. Best tire so far.

Pros & Cons

Good rolling and reliable tire

Pros & Cons

When I bought my new bike, it unfortunately did not have Conti's on it. Glad I quickly fixed that. With rainy weather in the Limburg hills, no problem. Good rolling resistance and easy to mount. No need to look any further.

Pros & Cons

If you coat the edges of the tire with Teflon you can get it on the rim better.

Pros & Cons

Ultra performance and durable tire

Pros & Cons

Good tires

Very difficult to mount ( Mavic ust wheel)

When I mounted it on my bike I immediately noticed that it is very fast. I don't feel the tire is very durable. I see a number of times it says it is difficult to mount, I myself think that is not so bad.

Pros & Cons

Band definitely recommended

Pros & Cons

This 25mm is less wide than my previous 25mm. This one rather 23mm. So gives much less comfort. Wonder if a 28mm would then match a 25 from before?????

Pros & Cons

Unmatched value for money! Excellent in every respect. A reference for the category

Pros & Cons

Fully meets expectations

Pros & Cons

They just wear out too hard. Never had a flat, but they cost me a fortune in tires every year. Recently I recommended Pirelli's Cinturato, which literally lasts twice as long. And in terms of resistance, it is not that bad.

Have had several skinwall tires on my rims. First Victoria's super satisfied with only wear fairly quickly. Then tried Schwalbe One but no success. Then Pirelle P Zero. Top tire. The reason for all these other brands was that Continental had no skinwall tires. But now they do. Had some doubts after reading that quite a few users found the tires very difficult to fit. Well with me they went on without any problems. Rims are 50mm high. Tires were on both front and rear within minutes. Haven't ridden them yet. Will complete review later with road conditions.

Pros & Cons

Setback in that this tire is less comfortable and wears faster than the GP 4000 SII

Pros & Cons

32mm onder gravelbike, 1500 km, 0 keer lek gereden, weinig of geen visiuele schade tot dusver, zeer tevreden.

Pros & Cons

After seeing that my previous set of GP5000 needed replacing (after almost 5000km) after much consideration I ordered these last week. Day later in house and mounted. Upon returning home Sunday after 2 long rides I notice a superficial damage on the rear tire. On additional inspection this morning a 2nd one where the inner tube is visible. So that one can already go in the bin. No different ride than usual. The rating becomes 3 stars because 1st set did not cause any problems. This 2nd one did.

Pros & Cons

After previously cycling very many kilometers without problems on the GP4000, last year I switched to the GP5000. In the meantime we are already on the 2nd set. Not because they are so pleasant, but because they leak very quickly. This is definitely my last set of GP5000 because I hardly dare to make a long trip on this set anymore. It may be bad luck, but as I read I am not the only one with this experience.

Pros & Cons

After less than 1000 km a cut in the side so it can go in the trash. Inner tube comes through. Also not so good experiences in terms of durability with the 4 seasons tire. I will avoid continental in the future. Far too expensive for what it is worth.

Pros & Cons

Always liked these tires but apparently there is a new version that is narrower than before. 25 mm is actually 23 mm, with my previous set of tires it was 26 mm.

Pros & Cons

Purchased through Mantel. Within 200 KM 2x punctures, front and rear. Then braked for crossing duck and profile runs flat totally off resulting in a complete hole.

Pros & Cons

Just put on the 3rd Conti GP5000 in 2021 already. Hope this one lasts longer than just 900 km. With the previous 2 tires, cracks appeared in the sidewall of the tire, causing me to have flat tires all the time. I never experienced this with its predecessor, the GP4000. Although I am a Conti fan, this will be the last time if this tire does not also last ± 5000 km (which I easily achieved with the GP4000). I would almost think it is a manufacturing defect because I read an earlier review with pictures about this (see Tessa on March 31, 2021) and with me the 2 previous tires tore in the exact same place.... Can't you (Mantel) claim/claim something with Continental, is becoming a very expensive hobby this way.

Pros & Cons

Good tire Rolls well Does wear out quickly.

For years I have been riding Conti, first the 4000, then the 4000 S2 and now the 5000. I like the latter variant although you do notice that it runs out a little faster than the S2. Also, with each upgrade marks the tires get a few euros more expensive, you wonder what they bring extra.... I have not been able to discover this yet.

Pros & Cons

Completely meets the expectation have been riding with this tire for years

Pros & Cons

4000 km without a leak

Pros & Cons

Have Gp5000 on 4 bikes
