Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

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

Pros & Cons

Excellent tire, not the cheapest but worth the security

Pros & Cons

Probably the best tyre for general sporting use (Interestingly these 25C sized up exactly the same as my old GP5000s that were labelled 23C: both measured 25mm on the same rims!)

Pros & Cons

Good

Pros & Cons

New tires on the bike, cycles great again!

Pros & Cons

Comfortabele en snelle banden omdat de 28mm breedte lagere druk toelaat en tegelijk de rolweerstand verlaagt.

Pros & Cons

First class tire, safe to ride and puncture resistant

Pros & Cons

Normally I am very satisfied with the Contentinal GP, before the GP 5000 I always used the GP 4000. Unfortunately today a bad experience with the GP 5000. There is a tear on the side of the tire. The tire is only 2 months old (+- 2000km). I had to take the outer tire off twice due to punctures. Very strange that the tire tears so early. Brake pads checked but that's not the problem. Is this covered by any warranty?

Pros & Cons

Totally as expected

Pros & Cons

Lots of grip, equally difficult to put on the rim

Pros & Cons

Great tire and runs very low

Pros & Cons

Driven less than 1,000 km with it. Now in last 200 km, punctured three times....

Pros & Cons

Exactly what I expected.

Pros & Cons

Prettige band voor de wekelijkse fietser, met een combinatie van goede rolweerstand en voldoende grip.

Pros & Cons

I have already driven 2000km with it and have not had a flat yet. Tire stays fine on pressure too.

Pros & Cons

2300 km without a flat tire.

I have been riding with this tire for 20 years, never really had any significant problems and can be used all year.

Pros & Cons

Here before had the continental grand prix 4000 s2 to satisfaction

Pros & Cons

The band looks like it is good quality and will last a long time.

Pros & Cons

28 really adds to the comfort!

Pros & Cons

My favorite tires, since I tried them I don't change them.

Pros & Cons

I drive for years and am still very Satisfied with it! Last year I drove with a Conti set over 8500km puncture-free!

Pros & Cons

Good tire, stable bike experience no matter how the road surface is. Less chance of punctures due to the good protection.

Pros & Cons

Fantastisch soepele band en goede grip, zelfs op vochtige straatklinkers voelen ze nog steeds vertrouwd!

Fine tire, but can't remotely match the gp4000s2. That tire lasted around 4500 km without puncturing too often. The 5k significantly more

Pros & Cons

Super tire, rides even better than 4000SII

The product exceeds my expectations

Pros & Cons

This seems to be the best all round band and so far nothing but good

Pros & Cons

Great tire, putting it on takes a little more energy, but it works!

Top product that manages to improve especially in durability and smoothness the excellent characteristics of its predecessor, also highly recommended for those who do not do but want the best especially in terms of safety.

Pros & Cons

The choice between winter tires and summer tires is no longer necessary with these. With continental's you drive all year round, in any type of weather, with excellent tires.

Pros & Cons

Ordered tapes in combo pack with indoor fires. Delivered quickly and installation went smoothly.

Pros & Cons

I have been using Conti's for years, but am not so satisfied with the 5000 series. It is simply too difficult to mount. With an aluminum rim I don't mind using a tire lever, but with an expensive carbon rim I really don't like it. In my workshop it is already a chore for 2 people, let alone if you have a flat somewhere on your own. Conti really needs to improve this in the next series!

Pros & Cons

Still too little riding experience with these tires for an informed judgment. This is the first tire I have had problems mounting on Campagnolo-Eurus rims. Tried all the known tricks and it worked, but with the skins off my hands!

Pros & Cons

Nice tire and good to mount if you are a little handy and just be careful when inflating that he lies all right

Pros & Cons

Cycles wonderfully

Pros & Cons

Bad marketing ploy. More expensive and less sustainable.....

Minus point Leakage in heavy rain

Pros & Cons

Very well-made tire, easy to mount. Tires grip well in all conditions

Pros & Cons

Third set in a few years that I have put on. Very fast tire that also does not puncture. Top of the top.

Pros & Cons

good tire so far no problems with it.

Pros & Cons

I bought the tire to ride with even now in winter. gives excellent grip in any kind of weather. Easy to fit.

Pros & Cons

This is really top quality. have tested several other tires but this is really top

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount. Only leaked once last year.

Wear resistance significantly less than the 4000 series

Pros & Cons

GP is and remains a good tire, putting it on was a bit more difficult as the precursor though

Pros & Cons

These are just fine bands. Minus points I haven't discovered yet. Good thing no one charges the recommended retail price, or few cyclists would buy them. Buy.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Zoals eigenlijk alle voorgaande banden van Continental is deze band perfect, want zelfs in deze tijd heb ik er voldoende grip mee.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Fast tire, lots of grip and at 25 mm also comfortable

Pros & Cons

Super road handling.

Pros & Cons

Since about 3 years I switched from Vittoiria's to Continental, formerly the 4000, and now the 5000 series.I used to ride standard with the 23 mm width,then with the switch to Continental tried the 25 mm width and what a difference and comfort !!! Now I once got the 28 mm version,only rode 1 ride with it yet but this will surely be ok. I ride with the continentals everywhere,gravel,cobblestones,trails,regular roads,and in those 3 years I had 2 punctures. As long as I ride the bike no other brand for me than Continental !

Pros & Cons

Wears a little faster than the gp4000 but rides wonderfully

Durable and fast tires

Pros & Cons

Good tire to have on the bike. But a little harder to get heb on it!

Pros & Cons

I've only done 500km with the continental gp5000s, but I think they're already very good. I had installed a new Vredestein on my rear wheel, and I had two punctures in a week.

Pros & Cons

On 6500 km 1 puncture rear tire, front tire no leaks With 28mm comfort on 6 bar Top quality tire

Pros & Cons
