Got the look I wanted with the performance I already knew and the price was right
Great tire at a great price. bought two sets
Much faster than my old tires, grippier, can capture corners like never before.
Light weight, good grip, and comfortable riding. My favorite road tire.
IMO still the best tires. I use tubes, both latex, and TPU. Don�t care for the hassle of tubeless. Rugged, fast, great cornering.
Great tire, great price, sticky and fast recommend
Fast, durable, light. Not aware of anything better.
Durable, fast rolling, easy to install tire. Have used Continental's for years. The 5000 just improves on earlier models.
I have been using the Continental Grand Prix tires for several years now. This newest version seems to work well. I will continue to keep buying them. I have used them with Latex tubes in the past and they work very well. Currently I am trying the Tubolito tubes which are working well with these tires. Not quite the same ride feel as with the Latex tubes though.
Better puncture protection for my needs than any other tire I have used that rolls this well. The compound also feels very grippy versus other similar racing/training tires. Tread wear far surpasses cotton casing tires for a tire that isn't very slower in use by my estimates.
Moved to these tires from the 4000S. These tires seem to be a bit faster (or I am a little fitter). There is an increase in speed with these tires. The black chili rubber is sticky and sticks very well in the corners. I cannot comment on the puncture protection, so far they are holding up well.
Great tire which holds the corners, rolls fast and provides a smooth ride.
I use them for group rides. I don't like getting flats, so I use Conti tires and tubes.
Then only tire I race and train on. Ever since nobody is racing on tubulars anymore.
I can't think of a better all around tire.
Great quality fast tires on open road and light!!
Nice rolling resistance and quite puncture resistant. Nice durability as well.
This is basically the brand and model where I see most of my cycling friends use. Decided to try it out and so far so good. Handles better than what I had. Nothing technical in this review. I average at least 100 miles a week for this spring/ summer time so I definitely ride it out.
I will not ride on anything else, GP5000s are that good. I even use their Conti Race 28 inner tubes.
The Grand Prix 5000s held up well to the chip seal and gravel sections of the Tour De Zona no flats no loss of air. they rolled well and had great grip.
Takes a bit of work to get the bead over the rim the first time, otherwise a great tire.
