Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

Very satisfied with these tires, had before the 4000s's and these feel a little better in terms of grip so very good tires.

Rij al jaren met de banden van Continental. Bevallen nog steeds goed. Grip is goed en de kans op lek rijden is klein.

Pros & Cons

Drive all year on these tires, 8000km and only 1x flat. Good handling and durability. Top tire

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Neat tire just like the 4000, but unfortunately the very tight fit doesn't fit the rim it was intended for. It would be better if the sizes better matched what it should be

Pros & Cons

Easy to get on the rim, even with cold fingers. Low rolling resistance.

Pros & Cons

I have been using this band for a few years to my satisfaction. And this time I was able to combine it nicely with another order, so I didn't have to pay shipping costs. Price/performance for this band are good and at Mantel I pay a great price.

Pros & Cons

Tire with good handling characteristics and few punctures.

Pros & Cons

Top product, am with the tires also already driven over gravel roads! So puncture protection is very good! The best tire what I know

This tire sticks to the ground and rides very comfortably

Since switching to the continental GP4000 two years ago, all I can say is that it was the best decision ever. Now with the arrival of the GP5000, that satisfaction has only increased. The tires roll smoothly, are very resistant to punctures and wear, and they give you a lot of confidence when cornering, and this in both dry and wet conditions. No more other tires for me.

Pros & Cons

In summer with Conti inner tubes of 50 grams, the rest of the year Conti inner tubes of 105 grams. With the 50 gram inner tubes, the GP5000 runs nicer. The sound of my aluminum wheels is then like music. So far (1900km) I did not ride a flat. When I go into the mountains in the summer I mount the 105 gram tubes for safety reasons. I have the GP5000 in the 25mm version. These ride better in all respects than the 23mm.

Pros & Cons

I had the Gp 4000s and was very good in all respects, and these Gp5000s are even better.

Very good quality and the price is great in this bundle. Never have any issues with the GP 5000 tyre.

Pros & Cons

After having always used the 4000 series, I switched to the 5000 series and I am very satisfied with it. The rolling resistance is even less than with the previous series and the grip in wet weather is even better, which means that the quality of the effort is at its highest.

Pros & Cons

I have ridden with them about 2000 kms, they go well, but I don't like them. They deceive in the specification, the 25mm (1") ones don't even reach 23mm and they are extremely tight to the rim, it is impossible to mount them by hand. The tires MUST BE MOUNTED AND REMOVED BY HAND with no detachables. I use Lightweight wheels and these wheels do not use tire levers. I have discarded this tire and do not recommend it to my customers.

Pros & Cons

Best tires I have had so far. Durable, low rolling resistance and grip. The rear tire was worn out after 7500 km. Only had one puncture due to a nail.

excellent outer tires, strong and from previous experience these do not ride flat easily.

Pros & Cons

Immediately good grip and little resistance. Excellent successor to the 4000 series

Pros & Cons

I bought these for a great price and found the 25mm more comfortable than my previous 23mm tyres. Good rolling resistance and happy so far.

Pros & Cons

I have always purchased Continental tires are a security they never disappoint x me the best.

This is the 3rd tyre to have split this summer - I do a lot of miles, but can't help be disappointed by that. That said, it's a lovely rolling tyre.

For a long time I used the Grand Prix 4000 also very good tires, now the Grand Prix 5000 for the first time. Bolts even better anyway and so far no punctures either so that's OK too! Great!

Good tire, easy to mount. Has a very nice design. Price could have been less.

Pros & Cons

Improvement of the GP4000, easy to mount on Racing Zero Carbon by hand, see over time but comfort and grip nickel, only to see the durability in kilometers ... we'll see uasge

Pros & Cons

There is almost no way to put the tire on properly. Ended up costing me 2 tubes and 2 plastic tire levers. Then took it to the bike shop. He even had to use an auxiliary tool to put the tires on. Next time I will buy the 4000 series.

After putting these tires on, I really feel like my bike has less drag and rides more comfortably. It will be psychological, but they ride wonderfully.

Pros & Cons

The 23C tire, combined with the Tubolito tube, is around 100g lighter than my old tubeless and preventive set-up. With an equivalent level of comfort and performance. After 500 km, no punctures or gouges.

Pros & Cons

Before this I rode with the Continental 4000 tires, which in themselves are good tires. But the 5000 really has much more grip in corners. Especially with my height (2.07) and weight (122) this gives much more confidence in corners.

Pros & Cons

Was running on 4000 before these tires feel softer with good cornering grip

Pros & Cons

Fantastic in both road holding and durability

Pros & Cons

With this tire you have a tire on your rim that is ready for all types of weather. Even with wet weather you can easily get through the corner.

With new tire punctured almost immediately due to cut in side of tire. Had to throw the tire away immediately. The tire is fast and light, but it has its disadvantages. It does have a lot of grip and little rolling resistance. So I bought the same tire again.

Pros & Cons

Before this I had 25mm Grand Prix 3000 tires. I wanted new tires for that so I went for the upgraded version + 28mm tires. What a difference. More grip, it rolls smooth(er), you can (if you want) ride around with less air pressure and very affordable! Some people experienced difficulty getting the tires on your rim, I didn't have that problem. Can definitely recommend them

Pros & Cons

Meanwhile my 2nd set of 5000 tires are on them as successors to the 4000. Tires feel very fast as far as I can tell as a cycling tourist. Seems a little more sensitive to punctures but that may have been bad luck.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

The tire have an incredible gripe but as you may suspect this comes with a price, a low durability. However, it seems to be quite resilient with more of 2000km I have not experience a flat yet.

Pros & Cons

high wear and faster leak than the 4000 series

Pros & Cons

They roll great, very comfortable and give me a lot of confidence descending and cornering

Tires purchased for the second time. They are perfect and extremely durable. Very few punctures over 5000 km. The tires are still not to be thrown away after 5000km, German quality.

Pros & Cons

Have been a loyal user of the Conti's for some time now. Bought a new bike this summer and it came with the Vitoria pro tires, fine but I missed the sharpness and the familiar feeling in the corners, it seems like these tires stick to the road, and yet a lower rolling resistance. Do have the idea that with the 4000's I had fewer punctures, but that could be coincidence.

Pros & Cons

Fast tire but after 320km already flat rear tire.Here the 4000s2 was better

Pros & Cons

Fine tire, low rolling resistance with good grip.

First outing on 80 kms good grip

Pros & Cons

Very good performance, good resistance to punctures, a little less than the GP4000, I think, and the same goes for longevity.

Pros & Cons

I know these tires, among cyclists/enthusiasts these Continentals are popular, the extra thick tread minimizes the chance of punctures.

For a few weeks now I have been riding the Continental Grand Prix 5000, 700 x 32C. The tire runs significantly lighter and the riding comfort is also significantly improved. All in all, a very good tire that I can recommend to everyone.

Pros & Cons

Good tire. Lots of grip in many conditions. Durability I don't know yet, only driven 220 km. Not cheap, but good quality for now.

Pros & Cons

Good successor to the also very good 4000

the best tires I have used so far

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Have always driven Conti for its wear and puncture resistance, this has unfortunately been lost to achieve low weight. During an emergency stop, where normally only a flat spot appears on the tread, a large piece of rubber broke out. In 8500km I used up 2 rear tires. No more Continental Grand Prix 5000 for me.

Pros & Cons

Got a puncture after a few miles when a staple went through the tire. The biggest difference from my old dried out GP 4000 tires is that these are much softer to drive on and I think these roll a little better too.

Low rolling resistance, perhaps wears a bit faster than the GP4000 II

Pros & Cons

Great grip in wet or dry, super fast and great cornering

Pros & Cons

Good tire with great grip, in dry and wet weather. After driving 500 km, no damage visible. I am very satisfied.

Pros & Cons

Great tire, easy to fit and drives fine. Good grip in wet conditions.

Pros & Cons

It was a very good choice to buy these tires. Good grip, low rolling resistance and very comfortable. No punctures to date. However, the tire is more difficult to mount because it is tight around the rim. But in short, highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

After a whole spring and summer of problem-free riding with the GP5000, I suddenly had to replace the rear tire and inner tube twice in a short time due to a (too) big cut in the tread. It seems that the vectran layer is not strong enough.

Pros & Cons

Good tire with little rolling resistance, easy fitting and delivered quickly

Tire is significantly faster to puncture than predecessor 4000.

Super pneus, super prix, a recommander

Durable puncture resistant and smooth riding tire. A bit pricey though

Pros & Cons

After a trip to another brand because of the looks, returned to these conti's. Feels familiar and they are also a lot faster. Fine handling also stands out. No more trips for me.

Pros & Cons

My worn out 23mm tire was in need of replacement. Was hesitating between this one and the schwalbe durano. Went for a little less rolling resistance (no idea if I'll notice it uber). Despite the scary reviews warning that the tire is hard to fit, I ordered and got it fitted. With 2 men and sore thumbs though, but without tire levers. The tire rides a lot more comfortably than my old 23mm, it also feels like it has more grip. And of course I feel much faster ;) (but I guess that's the placebo effect with new gear).

Pros & Cons

A follow-up purchase because I am satisfied

Pros & Cons

Second time I have fitted these tires. Felt fine. Did have a thread in the anti-puncture layer in the beginning. This caused many punctures. After removing this thread, rode 5000 km without a puncture. Now changed because they had become square.

Pros & Cons

Clearly an improved version of its predecessor, great confidence in cornering, even in wet. Would not last as long as its predecessor but cannot judge this yet. Clearly less rolling resistance than the 4000 version.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Excellent tire with low rolling resistance while providing comfortable cushioning.

Pros & Cons

Excellent tire with low rolling resistance while providing comfortable cushioning.

Pros & Cons

After the 4000s did not expect to find a better tire so soon. Tire is a topper for any cyclist. I can't imagine Continental will surpass this one anytime soon.

Pros & Cons

Expensive, but everything is to enjoy their good rolling, durability and resistance to punctures.

Pros & Cons

For a long time I hated buying new tires, also because I am not a handy guy to put them on. I finally decided to go for it and it was not that bad. Despite the fact that it is sometimes recommended not to use a tire lever, I did so for the last bit. Only did 1 ride, but just unimaginable the difference with my previous tires. I came from an old mediocre Bontrager tire, but the grip, confidence and speed through the corners on these Continentals and also straights; I've never ridden so well (and fast). Should have made the switch much earlier, but better late than never!

Pros & Cons

I recommend them. These are excellent tires: hard-wearing, performance, price when discounted. It's a bit of a hassle to mount them, but they're worth it.

Pros & Cons

Recently I had to replace my rear tire because I had a so-called flat spot. This after having driven more than 4000 km on it. The indicators showed that the tire could still last a while. In short, a fine tire and excellent quality.

Pros & Cons

Rijd 3 weken op de banden en ze rijden uitstekend! Geen problemen gevonden. Voelen sterk en snel aan en kwaliteit is super!

Pros & Cons

I can't say anything about durability yet, I haven't had it long enough. Some comments indicated that the last piece is difficult to get on the rim. This seems to be solved, was not a problem.

Pros & Cons

Tire is not bad but compared to 4000s no improvement in dry weather. in rain no judgment yet

This tire is worse than its predecessor the GP4000, the rubber is softer. Pebbles etc. will stick to the tire more quickly, and then penetrate inside. Continental, please put the 4000 back on the market.

Pros & Cons

Tire worn out on arrival. After 30(!!!!)km already a hole in the outer tire and puncture. Should be a new tire...? !

Pros & Cons

As a recreational road cyclist, I am very satisfied with this tire and have put on some safe miles. When I need a tire again, I will buy Continental again. Fitting the tire is difficult, but not impossible. :-)

This is my first order from mantel, but I'm a fan of the GP 5000, which gives me complete satisfaction! 1

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with these tires! They came standard on my new bike (25 mm clincers). Have now ridden 5000 km on my first set of 5000's, without a flat! Actually rear was up after ~ 4500 km, tire is somewhat flat and I don't see the pits of the wear indicators anymore, but front can still last a while. Have found when fitting new (latex) inner tubes that they go on my rims very easily, but maybe that is rim specific as I also read that they are difficult to get on rims.

Pros & Cons

Tires are what you expect from Continental; tight and firm. I have previously driven about 2000km on the 4000GT and they were also top!

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Fine tire ( after about 400km) durability I-figure can't say anything about it. Rolling resistance seems great than mn previous tire (grand prix 4000S II)

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Do you always want to stand on the shoulder of the road, make a weekly splash with your Co2 pump and never get your tires properly on your rim? Then this is the tire for you! Since these folding tires, I have been puncturing both front and rear at least weekly. 16 times in three months to be exact. After I replaced them with p-zero's all the trouble was gone: never again a flat. These tires are so thin, if you look at them they are already flat. And warranty? Hell no. Lost a fortune on tubes and cartridges, not to mention the purchase price of these tires.
