GP5000: The Gold-Standard For Road Tires

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 is a worthy successor to the beloved Grand Prix 4000 S II road tire, which reigned over the road-clincher bicycle tire market for over ten years. As you can imagine, creating a better version than the GP4000 was not a simple task, but Conti did it.

The new Grand Prix 5000s are high-performing all-rounders featuring even better versions of Black Chili tread compound and tear-resistant Vectran Breaker technology, as well as two new technologies: Lazer Grip and Active Comfort.

The German tire manufacturer focused specifically on the two problematic areas of the GP4000s — cornering grip and puncture protection. With their added tech in both these departments, the GP5000 rises above all other comparable clinchers.

The Vectran Breaker puncture protection is lighter, is more flexible, and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker used in previous models. Like spider silk, Vectran is an extremely strong and lightweight synthetic material, woven tightly into a multi-strand barrier.

The GP5000's Lazer Grip technology delivers more cornering traction from day one — no break-in time is required thanks to its micro profile structure that reaches over the shoulder of the tire.

Integrated into the 3-ply/330tpi casing of the Grand Prix 5000, Active Comfort technology provides stiffness in the sidewall and flexibility under the tread for greater vibration dampening and excellent ride comfort.

Grand Prix Family

The standard GP5K is only the beginning of the possibilities. If you want a tubeless version, or need hookless compatibility, check out the S TR or AS TR for all-season grip and durability. If you're after pure speed, only the TT TR will do.

Found these tires solid in performance and durability, just one downer, they are wearing quickly. At this point I estimate just over half the life of the gator skins they replaced. As long as they are available at a reduced price I will definitely buy.

After trying multiple tires (I ride about 18,000 miles/year), I've settled on the Conti GP5000 for its smooth ride, low rolling resistance and relatively good puncture proof tires. It's a bit pricier, but worth it overall given that I get about 6000 miles out of each tire. They're a bit difficult to put on, but fortunately I've not had to take them off regularly for any reason (especially punctures). They're grippy and you feel confident after a good bit of usage.

I think this is the single best performance upgrade I've made in 20 years.

I recently bought 4 Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires with 6 Pirelli P Zero TPU tubes and I wish I made the switch sooner. Put them on your bike - I'm sure you'll be impressed.

I've been riding since the 1970s and got into cycle racing in 2005 in the Salt Lake City area. (We left Utah because of the shutdowns, even though I love riding up the mountains)

These tires have excellent grip (much more than other tires I've run) and the TPU tubes make riding on the rough roads in the Safford Arizona area noticeably more comfortable.

I think this is the single best performance upgrade I've made in 20 years!

I've been using Continental Grand Prix tires for decades, and they continue to impress. The performance and road feel are exceptional, striking a perfect balance between speed and comfort. For lightweight tires, they are surprisingly durable, handling a variety of conditions with ease. On most of my rims (Hunt, Mavic), mounting and dismounting is not too difficult, which is always a bonus. These tires have long been my go-to choice, and I run them on all my road bikes. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their ride.

The Grand Prix 5000 tube-type tire in size 700x30 on a 19mm internal rim measure 30mm width and 27mm height, The 700x28 measures 27.7mm width and about 25mm high on similar rims, so the 30mm tire is true. The tires were within 10 to 15 grams of claimed weight. They mounted easily to tubeless ready rims with Pirelli Smart (thermoplasitc) tubes. Changed to these from Veloflex, which are equally nice hand-made tires because I wanted a larger tire without going up to 32mm, which just seem to be overkill for a pavement-only racing tire. 30mm is appreciated on the rougher sections but for most roads with alligator cracks or better pavement, 28mm still seems more appropriate for me (168 pounds). The 30mm provides a very plush ride at the expense of weight and aerodynamics (if you care).

My Go To Tire!
by sbolan

For years I ran the Conti Gatorskin tires as I was convinced that I needed the extra puncture protection. After hearing so many good things about the Conti GP 5000s I decided to try them a few seasons ago. The GP 5000s are now my go to tire.

I run the GP 5000s with either latex or TPU tubes and I inflate according to the SILCA tire pressure calculator. The roads that I ride on are typically either smooth bike paths or pavement/asphault roads and highways that I would consider to be average to good condition (live in Nebraska, so we get our share of pavement break-up).

Over the 3-4 seasons that I have run the GP5000s I have not experienced any more punctures with these tires that I had with any other tire...they are extremely durable and reliable. With the miles that I ride, I will generally get 1 full season out of the tires, sometimes I can extend the front tire farther as it gets less wear. Besides the same durability as other tires, these tires are incredibly smooth and roll extremely well. I don't see any reason to consider changing to any other tires.

Placed these on a Giant Revolt Advanced 2 gravel bike to ride long distance on pavement on alloy factory wheels. Replacing tubeless 40mm gravel tires to a road tire 700c 32 black sidewalls. Got them for long charity ride Bike around the Bay 177 mi weekend ride, Florida rail trail vacations. Daily training rides consist of 20-30 mi rides. Wide enough to soak up sidewalk cracks, and anything else flat I want to ride across in comfort. Paired with Conti race tubes. Total system weight rider and bike 250 lbs, pressures front 65 psi rear 68 psi. No flats during the training and charity ride avoiding broken glass on my rides as I see it in the path as well as I can. I ride mostly concrete bike paths, and asphalt. Do not take these on a small gravel walking paths or off the road they will tear up the side walls. Rubber is slightly tacky I only use in dry conditions good traction. There are two tread wear dimples near the logo find their location so you know where to look for them when your tire wears out for replacement, if similar wear to tubeless S TR I'd expect about 3400 mi. before replacement in my environment hot n humid. Been using Conti products for 25 years haven't diverted to other tire makers because they have not given me a reason to. Pricey, catch them on sale, use your points.
