Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR

I’m really pleased with the Continental GP 5000 S TR: they ride smoothly, feel fast and inspire a lot of confidence. You really notice the difference between the standard GP 5000 and this tyre when the road surface gets a bit rougher; this tyre is much more comfortable and less twitchy at higher speeds. Fitting the tyre onto the rim can take a bit of effort, but it’s well worth it.

Pros & Cons

I’ve fitted these tyres to my Giant Defy Advanced Pro 1 – what a difference. The bike has really come into its own now, just as it was meant to; I’m really happy with this purchase.

Pros & Cons

A brilliant tyre; I rode over 7,500 km on the previous standard set (inner tube) without a puncture

Pros & Cons

I’ve got this tyre set since the beginning of the season, and so far super happy with it. Done many KMs on them and I was impressed by how much speed I gained since I switched to them, using same bike and wheels.

Pros & Cons

I have complete confidence in this tyre; it has never put me in danger or caught me out. It is simply exceptional.

At first, I ordered the wrong size (32mm) all on my own – they wouldn’t fit my rims. After some good advice and quick help from Mantel, I sent them back and fitted the correct width (35mm). They were airtight straight away and very easy to fit onto the rim (hookless).

Pros & Cons

Top-quality wheel

Pros & Cons

When I first used this tyre, I really felt as though I was going faster.

Pros & Cons

a bit more expensive than the standard version, but also better

Pros & Cons

These tyres inspire a lot of confidence, especially on dry roads, but they are also reliable in wet conditions. With previous performance brands, I used to get punctures much more often that wouldn’t seal themselves with sealant.

Pros & Cons

I had it for less than two weeks before it was irreparably punctured and I could throw it away. Very unfortunate, especially for a tyre described with a "focus on ... puncture protection".

Pros & Cons

My favourite outdoor road bike tyre.

Pros & Cons

Just a top tyre. It rolls quickly and has good grip. The previous set of Conti GP 5000 lasted 5700km.

Pros & Cons

The tyres roll easily and have good grip even when it rains. Reduced vibrations on bad tarmac and better comfort.

The best tyres on the market for me! Easy to mount.

Tyres I got mounted on the rim just fine. Fine experience at first. Now after few 100km continuously new holes in the tyre. Low puncture resistance and short lifespan

Pros & Cons

Super nice tyre for the road bike. I have tried a number of other tyres in the past too, but still always end up with the Conti grand prix tyres.

Pros & Cons

Like the clincher, just a lovely quality tyre.

Pros & Cons

I ride them tubeless with some lower pressure Fantastically comfortable and still fast. Few problems with punctures. In need of replacement after 6 to 7 thousand km. Better experience with them than other racing tyres.

Pros & Cons

the quality you would expect from this brand and price

Pros & Cons

The tires are excellent in safety against punctures, and good tubeless tires

Pros & Cons

Nice and fast tyre, but absolutely unsuitable for non-summer conditions. Punctured twice and that within less than 200 kilometres of riding. This tyre never again.

Pros & Cons

Great tyres! Comfortable to ride on, but as with many tubeless tyres, they are a little difficult to mount. You have to make sure to get the whole tyre edge down the middle of the tyre and it works!

Was quite a struggle to put tyre on. Feared 1st puncture. Next tyre will be a different one anyway

Very poor puncture resistance. First tyre punctured after 40 km and tubeless did not seal while it was a very small hole which should be within tubeless performance. Ordered a new tyre, this one lasted 100 km and again the same problem. All in all, a tubeless tyre that does not seal the holes

Pros & Cons

I love these tyres - top value for money

Top tyre with good grip and easy tubeless mounting

Pros & Cons

More expensive than other tyres, but placement is really easier than with other makes and models. The grip on the road is really good. Performance too.

Good long-term performance

The best road tyre

As a replacement for Gravel race tyres.

very good tyre but still sensitive to small cuts

best road band without a doubt!

Pros & Cons

I thought better

Trouble-free tyre (rarely punctured)

Pros & Cons

Read the review in one sentence

Reliable rubber

Pros & Cons

The tyres are super continent

Pros & Cons

After advice perfect tyres delivered

Pros & Cons

Good for speed

Pros & Cons

Too little cycling with these tyres yet to judge but so far very satisfied

Pros & Cons

I easily do 5000km on one tyre

Perfect

Easy to fit, good grip and low rolling resistance.

Pros & Cons

GP 5000 very good tyres its performance and resistance at the Top

superfast delivery

Pros & Cons

Reliable tyres that no longer have to prove themselves

With the 5000 I rode >10,000km and only punctured once with 2 tyres! But I hate punctures, so I spent an extra €10 per tyre anyway for the 5000STR which scores better on puncture resistance. A waste of money! In 2 weeks 2x punctures on a grain of sand! There is no sign of a puncture-resistant intermediate layer! Just rubber.

Pros & Cons

These tyres are easy to put around the rim. Using a foot pump (Joe Blow), they 'pop' in one go. Then insert the latex and you're done. Your bike is tubeless in 15 minutes! The tyres roll lightly and have plenty of traction. I can't say anything about puncture resistance after three rides.

Pros & Cons

Incredibly good mileage and puncture protection compared to other premium tubeless tyres. Very comfortable and fast tyre.

For about 1200km, I was very satisfied; feels fast and comfortable! However, then the best seemed off and puncture resistance was completely gone. Five punctures at 220km (4x rear, 1x front, 4 TPU, 1 butyl). Found the hole and pebble each time, so not just badly checked. My conclusion must therefore be that this one is not 'tubeless ready', but 'tubeless mandatory'. The thinner construction than the standard GP5000 does not adequately protect inner tubes after some distance. Sealant would presumably have sealed the holes in the outer tyre.

Pros & Cons

very good tyre

Pros & Cons

lasts +-5000km in my experience. very satisfied

Pros & Cons

Now on my 9th tyre of this type. Rolls lightly and smoothly and has good traction, even in wet weather. On average, I can do 4205 km with one tyre, with peaks of 731 and 8877 km. All times a large puncture that was beyond repair but even on the 8877 km tyre the wear mark was still clearly visible so good durability.

Pros & Cons

I feel the latest version of the gp 5000 is very prone to punctures

Pros & Cons

Am on third set of tyres. Very satisfied. Can definitely do 6000km with them. Had 1 puncture. The latex Dynamic Barkeeper sealed the hole 2mm. Did 1000km more on them after that.

Pros & Cons

Drove 5,000 km in summer and winter with the previous tyre. Twice punctured by pieces of iron but a plug d'rin and on it went!

Pros & Cons

My 3rd pair

Riding with wider tyres is really great , I will never go narrower again !

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit for a tubeless tyre. Perfect combination of speed, handling and puncture resistance for me.

Pros & Cons

Very happy with this model, quick and comfortable

Started on Schwalbe Pro One's and after 2000km (summer) first puncture (tubeless setup). (Winter) New Pro One on, this one punctured after only 100km. Bad luck. Next I tried the Conti GP 5000, first impression is that it has a better finish than the Schwalbe (better symmetry, a nicer finish.) Rolling is also fine. This will be my default fast tyre. However, this one was also flat again within 50km, really bad luck. It was striking that the pebbles I found in the puncture were so small that I asked myself whether a competitive tyre is for me, as I don't have a follow car. From other experiences I gather that winter is also a killer for competitive tyres. That's why I have now chosen the Pirelli Cinturato Velo (tubeless), with the peace of mind that I will lose a little on rolling resistance, but this is hardly noticeable. Very happy with my choice, going for a long ride feels much nicer now.

Pros & Cons

Top

Great tyre that I got fitted to the rim very easily. It rides very smoothly.

Pros & Cons

Been punctured 6 times in the last 4 weeks ! Both with an inner tube and tubeless.

Pros & Cons

Very good grip, excellent ride, a very good tyre

Some tinkering to get on the rim but otherwise it is a top tyre

Pros & Cons

This tyre feels better than my former Bontrager tyre.

Pros & Cons

Perfect, comfortable and durable, with wear indicators

I have been racing on these tyres for 3 years. Very nice and fast tyre. Also lasts quite long.

Pros & Cons

Just very good tyres. One of the best out there.

Pros & Cons

Very fast and efficient after-sales service for all questions and problems, thank you Roy ;)

Excellent product exactly as described

Pros & Cons

In two years only two punctures, doing ~5000km per year. They are perfect in every context and with excellent durability. I see no better alternatives in the same price range.

Great tyres and look

Speed and grip you feel on the road, tubeless sphere you with slightly lower pressure comfortably and still fast or over most bumps.

Pros & Cons

Icm with milk and the blue sausage ideal. Never having to change tyres on the road with training and being able to get home. In races, although with lower tyre pressure, you can still finish a race.

Pros & Cons

Very few leaks with the "normal version, so "never chance a winning team"

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with these tyres after about 300 km in 3 weeks. They offer great grip and today I drove on quite wet roads, they can do just fine too!

Pros & Cons

I had good experiences with this tyre 2 years ago with the width 28 mm. Now in a month and a half 2 tyres width 32 mm have been written off due to transverse cracks in tread and sidewall. I would not recommend them again.

I normally order online, but this is nice anyway, just feel compare. i was also helped very well with good advice.

Pros & Cons

With these tyres, I feel an increase of 1kmph compared to the factory tyres that were on the bike. Also, handling is better and the ride is softer on my arms. Even through 5km of sharp gravel I didn't ride flat. Fitting is difficult but doable with 2 people and sopping water

Pros & Cons

Been using Conti GP 5000 for many years.My first experience with tubeless ones. Very reliable tires and long-lasting. Instant good feel as soon as you get on to your bike.

Pros & Cons

Super experience so far (30s). Bulges super with super comfort. Stick to the road, give great confidence. Top product.

Pros & Cons

Excellent product

Super rolling resistance, maximum comfort with wider tyres and a mega look to boot! Unfortunately quite expensive! But it's definitely worth it.

Outstanding performance and comfort for this 28 mm tyre

The product corresponds perfectly to my expectations.

I have always used Continental tyres because they are reliable and super comfortable. I would recommend them 100%.

Perfectly meets my expectations of a road tyre. Easy to mount tubeless, perfect rolling resistance

No more to say, would use this seller again

Pros & Cons

So far very happy with GP 5000 series from continental.Already some km away with the previous types that also always met expectations.

Pros & Cons

Super cool riding experience. I have ridden about 1000 km and have already found glass pieces in the tyre myself after bike rides, but no flat tyre! TOP :D

Pros & Cons

This tyre in 30mm is very comfortable.

Pros & Cons

Costs more than the other brands, but I can ride more miles with them too. Great tyres for tubeless.

Pros & Cons

Undecided about buying them, I changed my mind as soon as I received them. Spectacular

Nice tyres sitting tight on the zipp 303 rims. Fitting was easier than expected.

Pros & Cons

Top tyre. Excellent quality as always from Continental.

Pros & Cons

Having already ordered a tyre of this type elsewhere and found it to be good after a test ride, I ordered a second one here. Also because the manufacturer's website advertises the oh-so-great puncture protection. Unfortunately, after putting the first tyre on, I got two punctures on gritted cycle paths. Puncture protection is close to zero. I didn't even fit the second tyre. Certainly good for perfectly asphalted paths without grit, but not a tyre for the city in winter.

Excellent grip on dry roads.
