Fine all-round band. Difficult to fit
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

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

Good, but beware of fragility
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.

Without tyre levers, I couldn't get them on the rim.
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

Hoping for more luck and less bad luck (leak)
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
4 / 5
Definitely do not hesitate to purchase
Positive nice stable tire with good grip
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
It has a light and smooth, grippy ride while offering little resistance.
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.

Best value tires for the super exerciser
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

I recommend this tire to those who want road grip and not necessarily eternal durability.
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
4 / 5
Still the best tyres around
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.

Right choice for comfortable/security in the road
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

The tire for every experienced cyclist.
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.

is already the third train I buy, for me they are the best currently
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!

Very good
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.

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

An excellent tire, which will never disappoint in terms of grip, unfortunately in terms of wear resistance.
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.

Great tire except for the mounting
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
4 / 5
Currently The Top Clincher
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 !

Familiar GP5000 tires with hip skinwall
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.

Finally a skinwall tire from Continental
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

Low rolling resistance but wears slightly faster.
Good tire Rolls well Does wear out quickly.

Top but recent bad experience due to crack
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?

Nice tyre but splits too easily
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.

These straps feel really good.
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

Lightweight, high-performance tire
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
4 / 5
Fast tire with plenty of grip.
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
4 / 5
Very fast and great grip
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
4 / 5
Definitely Continental quality
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.
