Introducing the all-new Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 650b Road Tire — 20% faster, 28% more puncture-proof, & 50 grams lighter than the previous GP5000 tubeless model.
Even before its release to the public, the Grand Prix 5000 S TR already had top podium appearances at some of the world's greatest cycling races including Fillipo Ganna's 2021 World Championship time trial victory and Sonny Colbrelli's remarkable Paris-Roubaix win. Both races put this new tire to the test — the time trial with its long flat straightaways and the Paris-Roubaix with its wet cobbles, mud, and slick pavement.
Suffice it to say, this is the best road tire that Continental has ever made.
Here's how the new GP5K S TR looks compared to its predecessor:
+20% More Speed — 2/220 TPI carcass under the tread reduces material deflection
+28% More Sidewall Protection — 3/330 TPI adds one more protective layer in the sidewall, and it also makes running the tire at lower pressure more stable
Minus 50 grams in weight — With the new construction. Conti removed an inner liner while still keeping the tire tubeless

This is a road-oriented tire that generally behaves like a lot of higher-end tires of this type--good durability, reasonably quick, and fairly comfortable. What sets it apart is that it's actually available in 650b in a size like 32mm. My new Surly Preamble is the small size designed for 650b wheels, and tires like this are rare--typically you'll find much wider gravel tires or very tough but slower touring tires in 650b. I wanted to see if I could make this bike into a rough equivalent of my old 700c road bike, and a set of these tires helped make that happen. Being a little wider than what I was used to on the old bike (32 vs. 28), they also do a nice job at soaking up the occasional gravel road and lousy pavement. They are on the pricier side, but after 1000 miles, it looks like they've held up better than most of the 700c tires I've used in the past, so the cost may not be a concern.
Sidewall tear on front in 100miles. Rear puncture a plug couldn�t handle 200 miles later. $200 for 300 miles. I�m a few hundred into second pair, but scared to do a multi-day tour.
Very fast. Maybe I have bad luck, they seem like great race tires and not a daily driver. No problem installing. We�ll see how second set goes.
Been riding these for about 500 miles, a couple hundred miles bike camping carrying 45 lbs of gear. Tires performed well, good grip and comfortble ride at 60-70 psi. Having a bit of trouble keeping them inflated over night, but likely use error mounting and sealing.
