Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

Top tyre for the real racer

Pros & Cons

Tyres bought as a gift for my girlfriend, who drives in Canada. She appreciates the comfort and durability of these Continental Grand Prix 5000 tyres.

Fully meets expectations.

Pros & Cons

Easy to put on the wheel and looks sleek!

Pros & Cons

Easy to put on and fine to use despite cycling at 7/8

Pros & Cons

Chose the 32mm, to ride longer touring and randonneur rides (100 - 200 km) on a gravel bike. Been on it for a week, done a few rides. Smooth running, easy to fit. On asphalt and concrete good handling, both dry and wet. On compacted gravel and gravel (unpaved park roads) it also rolls very well. On cobblestones and rougher terrain, I lost ride quality (compared to a 40 mm light gravel tyre: the schwalbe G-One). But overall very satisfied. Did not ride enough km (150 km) to be able to say anything about anti-puncture or behaviour in rain + curves.

Pros & Cons

After 2 punctures in quick succession (mileage 4000 km), I replaced the factory rear tyre with the Conti GP 5000. After approx. 1500 km, I was particularly impressed by the rolling resistance and cornering stability. The Conti is very well made. I am very satisfied with it.

The Continental Grandprix 5000 is really the ideal tyre for one road bike, especially the puncture resistance and handling are a big advantage, really could not list any downsides of this tyre.

Pros & Cons

Very easy to fit on my mantel tlr 50 rims compared to the schwable. Very good performance and grip when cornering. .

This is already my third time using these tyres. I get 9000 to 12000 km on them. First time all those km without a single puncture. I don't spare them, feel free to ride gravel oid on them. To be honest, the last time I rode in Spain on a very steep path with sharp rocks (more for mountain bikes), it was a bit too much. Not a puncture but the rear tyre was damaged (flaps of rubber detached from the tread). Anyway I thought that was what I should expect with such behaviour. They run very lightly, yes there are faster tyres but they are really much less puncture resistant and wear super fast (3000km) Really nice tyres for trouble-free riding.

Pros & Cons

Looks good with the usual features of the GP5000, I'd recommend! Mantel delivery was super fast, ordered on Sunday, received the next day!

Pros & Cons

Had 32mm version and does fit in the front fork, but with very little space, so now 30mm and the 32 disappears into another rear wheel.

Pros & Cons

Excellent performance and comfortable! However, the sidewalls of the tyre are fragile. 30,000 on the odometer on my various pairs of wheels and never disappointed! A must-have

Good quality outer tyre, due to its suppleness also easier to put on. Also, the tyre runs well with the asphalt and is more resistant to punctures

Pros & Cons

Went from a 25 mm Schwalbe Lugano (factory) to this 28 mm Continental GP5000. What a difference! Much more cushioning on uneven roads and it feels like there is much less rolling resistance. Well worth the extra price. Very satisfied!

Pros & Cons

Purchased the Continental Grand Prix 5000 32mm tyres for my cyclocross bike for road use on UK broken roads -really great comfort and low rolling resistance -highly recommend these tyres.

Pros & Cons

very nice tyre, totally changed my bike

Pros & Cons

Ideal all-round tyre with low rolling resistance

I am now buying these tyres for the second time because they have been good. However, they are very tight around the wheel which makes taking them on and off difficult. I like the tyres and ride 5000+ km on them and haven't had a puncture yet.

Pros & Cons

Just a reliable tyre that rolls well. Only drawback is getting it onto the rim. Ended up having to use tyre levers because it wasn't doable otherwise.

Pros & Cons

I use the clincher in training and I get on very well, almost comparable to the tubular. Fantastic grip.

First band!

Drives fine

Pros & Cons

Been using this tyre for years. Fine good tyre

Pros & Cons

So far, no problems experienced, even on gravel and crushed stone bike paths.

Faithful to this set of tyres, I've done over 8000km with the previous ones (front and rear, taking care to deflate them after each outing). Virtually puncture-proof. Very attractive price

Years driven with the 4000 predecessor

Pros & Cons

A tyre that suits my requirements and my riding style: I generally drive 3000km a year in Belgium. I can do 2 seasons without any problem. Solid and robust, it holds the road perfectly. Very good value for money.

New set of front and rear tyres with new tubes. On the outward journey (70km) rear tyre punctured (small tear in tyre as big as pinky nail), can happen. On the return journey next day front tyre punctured. In short, not this set again for me. Only rode asphalt. Was 33 degrees though, maybe that was it?

Pros & Cons

perfect as always quality products fast delivery

Product meet expectations

Pros & Cons

I have been using this brand and type of tyre for years and drive an average of 5,000 km without any problems.

Pros & Cons

Good quality top band!

Pros & Cons

Super tires! I've been using these for 2 years now since my new bike in combination with an aerothan tube (or regular race light tube) and I haven't had 1 puncture since. Has good grip and lasts a long time.

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with these products

old and trusted, remain very good ties

Pros & Cons

This is my second batch of Contis and not disappointed.

Pros & Cons

The tire is fine to fit. I ride at 7 atmosphere pressure. Little rolling resistance and long life.

Pros & Cons

Good tyre a tricky one to put on but doable

Pros & Cons

Very good product, I change them at 6000 km, sometimes a little more.

I ride it every day through Amsterdam, including through the glass on the street which is almost impossible to avoid. The tire is doing great so far!

Pros & Cons

Have been using this type of tire for years and like it very much.

Pros & Cons

Top product.

Pros & Cons

The bike rolls much better and easier with these compared to the Scwalbe that I had always used.

Good tire, does not puncture often. With brown stripe looks good on my bike.

Pros & Cons

The Continental GP5000, you get a tire with that. The tire! Ride it once and you don't want anything else!

Pros & Cons

Like them super, nicer ride than the Schwalbe

Pros & Cons

Nice tires, reasonably puncture resistant, but hard to get over the rim

Pros & Cons

Replacement for Conti GP 4Seasons to ride in summer season. Neat tire, stays flat for a long time. Replaced both tires in 15 min, so quick fitting.

Pros & Cons

I bought a couple of 23mm Gp5000s while stocks last. They are simply the best road tyres by a country mile IMHO ... fast rolling and like cornering on rails. I have a slightly older bike that will not take anything wider than 23mm tyres. I don't know what I'll do after these wear out.

Pros & Cons

Used these tires on my gravel bike, what a difference noticeable from a lesser quality race tire of the same brand. Rides smoothly and very secretly: faster too!

Pros & Cons

Yes

Easy to assemble and rolls great!

Pros & Cons

Very fine tire that feels very smooth and fast

Pros & Cons

tire is too tight, therefore it does not fit well on all wheels. I had the 23mm myself, they also don't fall well with ffwd wheels, making you bump while riding. It also didn't fit on my time trial wheel because it was too tight. If you get a flat with this in winter, it becomes quite impossible (with cold hands) to change your tire.

Pros & Cons

I have been driving these tires for years and they are really good!

Pros & Cons

Exactly what I was looking for. Very good quality. First time installation takes some skill and strength.

Pros & Cons

This tire is easy to fit compared to other tires.

Pros & Cons

Class coat... clearly better than 4000iis

Pros & Cons

As always, ultra-fast Mantel delivery, upgrade from GP 5000 in 26mm to 28mm, more comfort and performance still TOP ++.

Pros & Cons

Not the cheapest but you get something in return

Pros & Cons

as usual, promises kept in terms of delivery times and great value for money - what more could you ask for?

Pros & Cons

Fitted immediately after delivery, Bike runs smoother and you feel you have more grip.

Best all weather tyre on market

Pros & Cons

Previous Continental GP 5000 lasted 6000 KM and only had 3 punctures. Tire started to get square only at the end. So I bought the same tire again.

Pros & Cons

Very easy to assemble and looks nice

Pros & Cons

I have driven 7000km with this tire in the back, and 10,000km in the front. Few punctures. Really like it a lot better than the tire I had before.

Pros & Cons

Been riding this type of tire for 2 years now. Never had a flat yet. Rolls better than any tire. (Vittoria, Vredestein,Hutchison)

Pros & Cons

Worth the high price as far as I am concerned. Almost never ride flat on these tires and they last a long time.

Pros & Cons

Nice skin walls with good grip. Also seem to have good puncture resistance because they also took a fair amount of gravel.

Pros & Cons

After the misery of Schwalbe tires never anything but Conti's again. The previous set lasted over 4 cycling seasons 0 punctures! Before that I rode the grandprix 4000, these are even better in every way. They fit perfectly around the rim, are easy to mount. What is striking is how nicely a new set cycles. Unless your name is Tom Dumoulin, this is simply the best tire for your bike.

Pros & Cons

Two new tires on my road bike, the old Continal 4000 were perfect, the new Continel 5000 feel good,have even better road contact.

By going a little wider, much more comfortable ride. Great outer tire, low rolling resistance, low wear, very satisfied with it!

Pros & Cons

Pleased with.

Top tire. No problems yet. Much less chance of punctures. Put new tires on for LBL and despite the lesser roads in the Ardennes did not go flat.

Pros & Cons

Fully meets expectations.

Pros & Cons

Excellent tire, first had the 4000, now this 5000, can be mounted and dismounted with some skill and strength without tire removers.

Pros & Cons

Smooth tire with low rolling resistance and plenty of grip (on dry asphalt at least). Chosen the 28 mm version, so you still have enough comfort.

Pros & Cons

I've been riding Continental's GPs for years. First the GP4000, the S and RS variants and for a while now on the GP5000, both in all black and with skinwall. On the Aeroad are still 23mm tires, on the Ultimate 25mm which gives a bit more comfort and also off-road capability. I actually never ride them flat, they last quite a few miles (I think 10,000+ kms already and still plenty of tread left)

Pros & Cons

Tires used mainly in spring and summer. About 3000-4000km before change

Pros & Cons

Immediately feeling good about the job!

Pros & Cons

nice tire with tread, rolls smoothly and has good grip.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable tires (I have the 28mm version), which immediately felt nice and "soft" on the first ride. They offer great comfort by filtering out unevenness in the road surface well. They also have good grip in corners, without you noticing it in rolling resistance. I personally think the cream color goes very well with my dark blue frame, but of course that's personal. Only the finish of the edge from black to cream could have been a bit neater. This one is a bit "choppy" in some areas.

Pros & Cons

Already 15,000 my choice

Pros & Cons

Always driven with black tires Had first thought that this color could be disappointing, but no, I like it very much.

Pros & Cons

good prices, and super fast shipping

Pros & Cons

Ride super well. Beautiful classic look.

Pros & Cons

It's not night and day, but I've clearly noticed a gain in comfort compared to my old 23" tires.

Pros & Cons

Top tires. Highly recommended for the normal touring cyclist. Few punctures and good road and steering characteristics.

Pros & Cons

I have been riding the GP5000 for years. Almost never a flat tire. They last 1 season to 7000km.

Pros & Cons

GP5000 is of course top, as shown by all tests. Especially with 28mm width and TPU tubes results in a very smooth ride.

Pros & Cons

I bought these tires because I have almost always driven with this brand and I have never been disappointed. Ordered and received the next day. Great service.

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with it

Pros & Cons

rides well and few punctures

Pros & Cons

Excellent quality tire we use for competitions

Pros & Cons

Fast and easy to use website, fast delivery

Pros & Cons

Great for laying out

Pros & Cons

It may not be the cheapest tire but worth the money. Differences to cheaper tires you feel in any case.

Pros & Cons

Fine tire. Good resistance to bad road surfaces, great grip and I hardly ever ride flat.

Pros & Cons

I have had them for several weeks now and for now only positive points.
