Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 5000

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

Pros & Cons

Band definitely recommended

Pros & Cons

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

Good tire Rolls well Does wear out quickly.

Have Gp5000 on 4 bikes

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

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

Pros & Cons

Minus point Leakage in heavy rain

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount. Only leaked once last year.

Wear resistance significantly less than the 4000 series

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

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

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

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.

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

Pros & Cons

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

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

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

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

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

Pros & Cons

Fine tire, low rolling resistance with good grip.
