Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

It really is a crime getting the tyre over the rim (and they are not high rims), I almost didn't get it done. Have a feeling that the 4000 S is just a bit easier to fit anyway.

Pros & Cons

Drives fine

Pros & Cons

Nice folding tire but very difficult to mount. Both first and second rings of the tire can only be gotten over the rim with vigorous use of (plastic) lighters.

Pros & Cons

These tyres were extremely tight to fit. I have fitted many 4000 SII previously with no issues. With these tyres I punctured 4 inner tubes in the fitting process and had to get a friend to assist me to finally get them on successfully on my Ksyrium Elite wheels. Now dreading the prospect of having a puncture out on the road. Shall look for other tyres which are easier to fit than GP5000 when the time comes to replace them. It is a shame really, as I have used Continental tyres for many years without issue.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Serà casualitat o no però he punxat 2 cops i s han s rajat 2 cops la coberta.Realment no se amb el que s ha punxatat,tenia la pressió a 7 .He tingut que canviar-la 2cops.

Meanwhile my 5th GP5000 already, my experiences are that you can't possibly put the tire on if you have a flat, and without tire levers. Roll resistance is unparalleled, I use it for a whole season and that's 12,000km, even longer in the front. Sidewall casing is frigid, I even had to replace one after 300km, check stones before every ride and remove them. On my other bike I ride with Pirelli, about the same tire in terms of rolling resistance, which can be mounted in a jiffy in case of a flat, just by hand, actually I prefer this Pirelli even more.

Pros & Cons

I have been using for many years Continental granprix tires that I alternate with veloflex....remain always among the best but in my opinion have lost smoothness

Pros & Cons

Spedizione e imballo ok (prodotto arrivato in 3 giorni) secondo paio Continental GP 5000 speriamo di fare almeno 5000 km ...come i primi

Pros & Cons

Great looking version but sidewall on brown version wafer thin / i have the all black version on another bike and have had no issues after many miles of use ..

Pros & Cons

Mooie band, rijdt heerlijk. Echter bijna niet om velgen te krijgen (Reynolds solitude). Zie op tegen lekke band onderweg.

Pros & Cons

Tires easy to fit. Little rolling resistance at. Good grip in dry weather, but as soon as the roads are wet you have little grip with these tires.

Pros & Cons

Does not last long enough (significantly less long than the 4000S II).

Pros & Cons

Fast delivery, haven't cycled with it yet. Previous 5000 lasted almost 2 years

Pros & Cons

Very difficult to mount ( Mavic ust wheel)

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.

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

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

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

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

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

high wear and faster leak than the 4000 series
