Good price really good service
Great all around tire
High mileage
Smooth ride
Great smooth, riding, sticky tires, and a great price
Got the 28c recently, noticeably smoother and grippier than the 25c at slightly lower psi and based on initial impressions, can't say I feel any slower. Cornering does feel more secure and if the 28's are supposed to perform better in wet conditions than the 25's then even better as the 25's worked fine for me in the rain. Will see how long these last. So far no punctures on my 25's after 2000 miles but perhaps I just jinxed myself...
The Continental makes for a smooth comfortable ride. They absorb some of the roughness of the road. I also found them to be puncture resistant. I had only two flats all year. For a tire that grips so well in the corners, they wear very well.
Another great purchase from Western! A great shop!
I've amassed 2600 miles on these Conti GP 5k tires. The rear tire is just now showing the flat wear so time to rotate. No flats (did I jinx myself here?). I've ordered another on sale already. Good value when they are the Deal of the Day.
The Conti 5000s are great. Not only do they roll true to size, but they last for thousands of miles. Put 4000 on a set I installed in June...and now am thinking I finally need to replace them. Only two flats all season...and one was in my driveway! Great value.
Started using these Conties again and nice and sticky and good flat protection. I train and race on these.
You can't go wrong with these, pricey but when on sale can be a good buy, stock up when on sale.
Road riding lots of road riding, at my age (68) it seems like the right thing to do, and the Grand Prix 5000s are great tires to do lots of miles on, I really have never had a problem with them!
I have used these tires for 12 years and I've never had problems. Lots of chip seal, lots of crap in bike lanes and even ride on some forestry roads and that's tires perform better than I could have ever expected!! I have gotten 6800 miles on 1 set of these tires this year and the wear dots probably have another 2000 miles to go. They have handled exceptional well in the Oregon rain! I highly recommend these tires!
Love these tires. Light, fast, durable and sticky! I've ridden numerous other tires and these are the best....250 mile training week, crit, social ride..... it doesn't matter these tires do it all!
I've been running these since using up the last of my Condo 4000 tires. Longevity seems about the same. Did lose one 5000 to a sidewall cut but the rock I hit probably would have taken out the 4000 as well. Good ride.
I've been a Continental Grand Prix rider for years. When I upgraded my bike to use a 700/28 I couldn't believe the increased comfort and handling on downhills. Durability is key; I'm a road biker on backroads that could use a lot of TLC and I've never been let down with the Grand Prix 5000 Road Tire. I have recommended it to my group and to anyone looking for a great tire.

This is my third set of these tires. They wear very well, do not flat easily, and look great. I will continue to use them on my bike that does not have tubeless tires.
Love these tires! They corner well, roll smooth and I get less puncture. When not on sale, I think they're kind of pricey. But when they are on sale, I always get a pair.
These tires are great that i saw it on sale and need it to buy another pair. I love the built and smooth ride

Started using the GP 5000 when the 4000 S II stopped being made. I can't say I really notice a difference to the 4000 S II, but still get great roll with them, and have only had 1 flat in 3.5 years of riding (roughly 8000 miles). Purchased when on sale, and use them exclusively. I am a 205 lb rider using the 23mm version, but like the way they ride and handle.
