Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

The best for years on the market. I had the 4000, and these are just as good if not further good

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

Roll like a dream

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.

Pros & Cons

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

Excellent value for money. Winter hardiness and performance Don't hesitate

Pros & Cons

Always rode conti but never go tubeless with this brand

Pros & Cons

Not the cheapest but worth its money. You can clearly feel the difference from a cheaper tire.

Pros & Cons

1500km zero punctures! What a fine tire. My absolute favorite. Great looks with any bike.

Pros & Cons

Fast tyre on the road.

Pros & Cons

Like formula 1 sliks, sticks to asphalt

Pros & Cons

For the moment they are new, no problem, but a friend of mine has already broken several due to a natural fragility caused by a puncture or tearing.

Drives fine

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

Quality as you would expect from continental . Tight on the rim though

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

Excellent grip in all weather Excellent service from Mantel

Pros & Cons

fit is nice and smooth when mounted. Minus point hard to see the recommended direction of rotation. small arrow unfortunately.

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

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Completely satisfied with the Mantel service, very fast delivery. Thank you Mantel.

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble

the best clinchers on the market, with a very low weight of only 225 gr they manage to provide excellent reliability against punctures. they have good grip on the road and are very smooth. Continental is a guarantee for the wheels on my bike!

Pros & Cons

Good solid tire

Pros & Cons

Good solid tire

Pros & Cons

Excellent, good value for money Fast delivery and on time.

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

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

Excellent tire, safe handling, less long life than GP4000

Pros & Cons

This tire is particularly puncture-resistant and will last at least 3,000 kilometers. Even in wet conditions it is slip-resistant, and that makes you feel safe!

Pros & Cons

With Mantel always okay

Pros & Cons

I loved the previous version the continental 4000s11, the speed and especially the comfort on knobbly Irish backroads. As this was fazed out I opted for the Grand Prix 5000.The new tyre is substantially smaller than the old 28mm which measured an oversize 30mm plus, the new one measures a scant 26 mm this may not sound like a lot but there is a huge visible difference in clearance on my Giant TCr Advanced 1 So what? The loss of volume means this tyre is a lot less comfortable than the old version. I am considering buying the 32 in the hope this is also undersized by a couple of mill and will fit into my frame.

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

Fast and easy to use website, fast delivery

Pros & Cons

The tires are fine as expected. Continental 5000

Pros & Cons

Easy to install rides well

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Pneu monté avec des chambres à air Revoloop 39gr chacune. Superbe combinaison, souple et un roulage soyeux. Je recommande ces pneus un pur bonheur.

Pros & Cons

Levering zoals verwacht zeer snel en kwaliteit zoals verwacht zeer goed. Banden eerder gehad dus verwacht geen issues.

Great seller and very good assortment, everything easier with their application

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.

I have tried many covers but these are the best

Pros & Cons

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

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

Excellent tire, never driven flat with it (10,000km) per year. Good grip on any road surface and weather conditions.

Pros & Cons

I was pleasantly surprised at the adherence to what was quoted in terms of delivery. Immediate response regarding a specific request of mine.

Pros & Cons

Satisfied for years with Mantel and Continental

Pros & Cons

I've been riding the GP 5000 for 3 seasons Very satisfied

Pros & Cons

Top tyre for the real racer

Pros & Cons

Good to find a great tyre at such a good price, more please !

Pros & Cons

Top tire...Grand Prix 5000...been cycling with it for years

Pros & Cons

Good material

Pros & Cons

Price-quality best tire on the market

I was using a product that was highly advertised but had very poor results in terms of durability and safety. I tried Continental 5000 grand prix and I am thrilled. I have already covered a lot of miles, I am on my third change, and I confirm my excellent rating. You cannot compare them with other brands. I have recommended them to friends who always thank me.

As above

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

In my opinion a top band

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Super tire, rides even better than 4000SII

rides well and few punctures

Pros & Cons

Excellent quality tire we use for competitions

Pros & Cons

Use two to three tires per year. Over time small cracks side tire.

Pros & Cons

I already knew the product and I am very satisfied.

Originally I was looking to purchase the GP 4000, mainly because it was a little cheaper but I decided to try the 5000. Brilliant tyre and so. easy to fit on my Kysrium sl wheels. Speedy delivery from Mantel so what’s not to like.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

The GP 5000 can be used for both training and racing. It's a good compromise between flexibility/speed and robustness. The only downside is that it wears out faster than its predecessor, the GP 4000.

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

Upgraded from grand prix 4000 II, still the same great tyre, incredible grip and braking performance, also it seems that the rolling resistance has been improved, no puncture so far 1000 miles.

Pros & Cons

great tires

Pros & Cons

A tire with a reputation. You have to force it on. The quality is there, but you have to pay for it

Pros & Cons

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

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

Easy to assemble and recommended by colleagues

Pros & Cons

I have had many 4000 s (II) tires and rode them in all weather conditions. Good tires, punctures on average once a year and perfect grip. The 5000 is a total disappointment. Every other week there is a puncture, they wear out very fast and in wet weather they slip in turns. I would hate to go downhill with them in wet weather.

Pros & Cons

Been using this tyre for years. Fine good tyre

Pros & Cons

Highly recommended and good service from Mantel for answering my queries.

Pros & Cons

Of all the tires I have tried, it is undoubtedly the most reliable and the one that provides the most durability. The price is the only sore point, but for safe running it is worth it.

Pros & Cons

Best tire around. Excellent mantel service

Pros & Cons

Very good quality tyre at a competitive price. Virtually no chance of punctures. Been riding with it for years and am very satisfied

Pros & Cons

Minus point Leakage in heavy rain

Pros & Cons

Fully meets expectations. This is my 2nd set and proved to be a petfect tyre for the Alpine collen and Stelvio. In the valley dry and warm, halfway cold and on se summit cold and snow showers. In all these conditions, this tyre maintains grip and confort.

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

I got these tyres to replace vittoria zaffiro pro's and they are a marked improvement. I cant describe the rolling resistance or anything scientific, I just know from Strava that I have increased my speed with the same effort. I would highly recommend these (I have the tube version, not tubeless).

Pros & Cons

Always used the gp4000s2 before and had very little issues with them. Decided to buy some new tyres, the gp5000 has just come out and the price at Mantel was not to different from the 4000 tyre. They look nice on the bike grip well and are easy to fit.

Pros & Cons

Bought these as replacement for gp 4000s2s that had worn and started to pick up punctures. Very happy with these new gp5000s, haven't noticed them being quicker but I'm my opinion they are certainly feel more grippy, time will tell on the puncture front but first 150mile passed with no incidents.

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.
