Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

The usual high quality from Continental.

Pros & Cons

It feels stable and fast

I’ve had a really good experience with this tyre; it’s just a shame that it wears out much faster than its predecessor, the 4000. But so far, I think these are the best tyres for my bike.

Pros & Cons

A decent tyre, just what you’d expect for the price. I think it’s a real shame that the 30mm version and anything wider aren’t available in a skin-wall version. Personally, I think that’s a missed opportunity.

Pros & Cons

Fine compromise between handling and reliability

Pros & Cons

Good tyres

just rode 100km on it, immediately feels more comfortable than the 23mm continentals that were on it before. for me, this is the tyre i dare to order without any doubts. setup: scott foil with zipp rims, butyl inner tubes, 80mm. fitting was very easy.

I have been using this tyre for years and choose it for its puncture resistance and grip

Pros & Cons

Good grip flexible with de- and assembly and lasts for many kilometres

Good product

Pros & Cons

good stewardship

After a big slide with Yaw Power tyres on wet roads, fitted these Continental Grandprix 5000. Super good grip in corners, sticks to the road surface as it were and comfortable. Super easy to fit and also seems to go a bit faster. They are not cheap and I personally find the tread wear indicator a bit on the low side. Not a 10/10, but 8 or 9/10. Throw the price down a bit or increase the mileage to make it a top tyre for me at least.

Pros & Cons

The previous 4000 series lasted longer. I do about 5 to 6000km with this tyre. Rarely punctured.

Pros & Cons

have been cycling with this tyre for years, training and competing

Pros & Cons

See pluses

Pros & Cons

Perfect tyres, however I had to reposition 1 tyre 3 times before it fitted properly. In the end, using a tyre nipper and pumping to 7.5 bar, it fitted properly

Pros & Cons

Always order these tyres and am very satisfied

Pros & Cons

Useful are the two dots in the tyre,indicate wear.

Pros & Cons

Tyre sits well on the rim and rides nicely, especially in corners

Pros & Cons

First always rode the 4000. Dut are excellent replacements. So far made 2x long trips of 1500km without a puncture.

Pros & Cons

Easy to lay down

Pros & Cons

Nice tyre and not too expensive

Pros & Cons

Meets

Pros & Cons

I have tried numerous types and brands and still keep coming back to the Con. GP 5000.

Pros & Cons

Fine, fast and sturdy tyres. First time fitting is quite a job. I needed a tyre guy and two extra pairs of hands. First time maximum inflation to get it in good shape

Pros & Cons

Drive almost all year on the tyre

Pros & Cons

I've been racing for two years with nothing to say, 3500 kilometres of racing, which is exceptional.

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

Easy to put on the wheel and looks sleek!

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

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

Good quality top band!

Pros & Cons

Top product.

Pros & Cons

Not the cheapest but you get something in return

Pros & Cons

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

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

Pros & Cons

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

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

Great for laying out

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.

Pros & Cons

The tire performs very well in dry weather.

Pros & Cons

Use this tire For a long time cut the corners well, good grip on the road , price quality good , ride little punctures

Pros & Cons

I've been using it for many years, I started with the 4000, and it's the best I've used.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

These tires give a safe feeling and provide the necessary comfort both on my daily commute to work, and on my long rides with my bike buddies on the weekends

Pros & Cons

track steady even on bad roads

Pros & Cons

Good tire that rolls well

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount/dismount without tire takers, but unfortunately punctured already in the second ride, (hopefully) this was a lot of PECH, have/ride Continental 4000 and have ridden Michelin Pro 4, thickly satisfied with both tires, so time will tell if these 5000 are better, at least the start was not good.

Pros & Cons

Positive nice stable tire with good grip

Pros & Cons

I am happy with the cover, although it would be appreciated to improve the assembly and disassembly. It takes at least two disassemblies and a lot of effort, with the possible risk of damaging the inner tube. Otherwise, it is perhaps the best tire I have tried.

Pros & Cons

Top tire good grip dry and wet. In winter I do use the 4seasons 28mm from Cinti

Pros & Cons

Perfect for both dry and wet roads.

Pros & Cons

Tire is quite stiff to mount on the rim. Also seems to wear a little faster compared to its predecessor the Grand prix 4000 II. Rides fine

Pros & Cons

Have been using Continental racing tires for the past 10 years. They never disappoint, so it really takes something for me to switch. Drive about 8000 km annually

Pros & Cons

Trusted tires for years. Generally very satisfied with them. Unfortunately the previous set went flat very quickly.

Pros & Cons

In my opinion a top band

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Very happy with these tires from Conti, run fast and nicely in the corners.....

Pros & Cons

The absolute best on the market

Pros & Cons

Recommendation

Pros & Cons

After the 4000 another better version

Pros & Cons

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

The tire mounts easily. Runs light, low rolling resistance. Good grip, even on wet road.

Pros & Cons

You know what you're buying. A quality outer tire, easy to mount, sturdy yet supple.

Pros & Cons

The covers are perfect.

I have been using this cover for about three years now, and I am more than satisfied. I used to use the 4000 before and the improvement is obvious. I use them during competitions and therefore abuse them, but so far I am more than satisfied.

Pros & Cons

Fine band. Solid.

very happy with this cover

Pros & Cons

Best tire around. Excellent mantel service

Pros & Cons

Very smooth running tyres, quite durable and puncture resistant, but sidewalls need to be checked every month for cracks. One I bought last year developed a 1cm crack after about 8 months causing the tube to protrude and puncture even though the tyre hadn’t worn down to the wear indicators. Hopefully these ones are better.

Pros & Cons

Snabb leverans! Bra däck av hög kvalitet. Hade hört att de är svåra att montera men det var inget jag upplevde.

Pros & Cons

Lasted a little shorter than expected. Had 1 puncture in 6000 km, which is very good.

Pros & Cons

As of today, the most complete cover

Pros & Cons

Very Good Tyres; expensive but who wants security/confortable all year round is the right selection! an upgrade from the already very good GP4000; the only challenge is still the durability of the tyres

Pros & Cons

Totally

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Fine smooth tires lies on the road Gives confidence

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied

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

Fine band

Pros & Cons

excellent clinchers, tried both 28mm TL version (very smooth) and classic, I have punctured (due to pinching) with the latter only 1 time in 2 years, by the way the day after mounting them, then stop!

Pros & Cons

The degree prix 5000 contenental is a Good race tire for cycling tourists!

Pros & Cons

Only once disappointed by the GP5000, but that was due to a defect in the tire. Good longevity despite high rider weight. Very good tire. Easier to mount on a 28 than a 25.

Pros & Cons

I also used these tires previously on the road bike (25 wide). Now the 28'ers are occasionally on the gravel bike, for road rides. Great tires.

Pros & Cons

Very fast tire with great grip in all weather conditions, only they do wear out very fast. Rear tire 4000 km, 70 kg.... Once worn out you ride flat quickly.

Pros & Cons

Tubeless was not there . So this one on

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 have been trying different tires for years, but like continental 5000 g p I have never found any, the best even for the Rolling Resistance site. I don't give 5 stars because you can always improve !

Pros & Cons

I was in need of new tires because my previous set of GP5000 had worn out. I doubted for a long time whether skinwall would fit my bike. But I gave it a try otherwise you never know. I am very happy with the new look (see pictures) and trusted GP5000 tires.

Pros & Cons

Very good band

Pros & Cons

Ridden over 10000 km on my previous tire set. I am confident that I can cycle the same number of miles again with maybe the occasional flat.

Pros & Cons

Very good tire

Pros & Cons

very fine band

Pros & Cons

Good tire, good puncture protection. Too bad they wear out.

Pros & Cons

I've been using it for years, in all weathers and on all kinds of roads.

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

Excellent tires. Did many safe and enjoyable miles on the previous set. Highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

Good rolling and reliable tire
