We switched over to the 32s of this model from a light touring tire for the summer. We have a tandem that can run up to 38s but these fit the bit for nice pavement to chip seal country roads. They are much faster and corner great. They also have a nice road feel as the larger volume lets us get away with lower pressure. Wouldnt take these on dirt, but thats not what they are made for!
Excellent quality, after all is is a Continental product
I ride this tire in a 700c x 25mm size daily on asphalt, typically 20 - 60 miles. I used to switch to Gator Skins for Fully Supported week long tours, but this year I have left the 5000S tires on my bike rims and they are proving surprisingly flat resistant. I may switch to a 28mm width for the next week tour.
Took another chance after giving up on earlier Grand Prix versions due to way too many flats, blow outs, etc. Tried these and they are great!
Picked up a pair of the 700c x 25mm tires when they were on sale. I couldn't tell a noticeable difference over the previous model of this tire (GP 4000 SII) but I did use them in a 60 mile race and they rolled as smooth as butter, gave a soft ride. They have not punctured after 350 miles of riding so far and that includes over some rough gravel and road debris. If you can grab these when they are on sale you can't go wrong.
The 5000 is the replacement for my go to 4000 SII. Improved rolling resistance, puncture resistance and grip makes this my new go to tire. It has the nice aero shape of the 4000 and rides just as nice. Highly recommend the 5000.
The GP5000 is all it is supposed to be. I've been riding the GP4000SII for several years. It has been a great tire for our rough roads. It has been durable and fast. The GP5000 appears to be just as durable and seems to roll better. Recommend these tires to everyone. I do fast group rides and several long ridesraces per year.
I use these on the road 50-75 miles a week . They hold the road very well . First night out ran into heavy rain 5 miles into a 25 mile ride.They did very well at 32 mph in a tight down hill curve. I was stupid but they were fantastic.
I have been riding the Continental Grand Prix tires for many many years.
Previously always the 4000 S. Now...the new Grand Prix 5000.
I find these tires to be even better. They seem to roll better, smoother, and just feel great !
I think the shock absorption is superior, and they just make the bike feel better than before.
Very nice, I highly recommend these tires.
I switched out my gravel tires for these. They are amazing on road!
These tires are awesome. They're very high quality and good value at their price. I use them all season long for training and racing.
Top notch grip, puncture resistance, very low rolling resistance - unbeatable trifecta. No other tire matches it. You are wasting your time with any other tire.
I ride about 75 mi. a wk. 25 mi. per ride average speed 13.5 14.5 on blacktop streets ,usually the same route ,I bought these tires 2 mo. ago and cannot attest to the durability at this point but I will say that they are by far the best rolling and fastest tires I have ever owned over the last 27yrs. .
I would'nt buy any other tires. I find them a little difficult to get off the rim, but they are so good that flats are rare anyway. Great long-distance tire, corners nicely. Value priced.
I have this tire mounted on a Fulcrum Racing 3db and it's a really nice combination. Ride, handling, rolling are all top notch. Expensive, but worth it. Can't speak to durability yet since I only have a few hundred miles on them.
I've had the black wall 5000 GP, they are fast-rolling and fairly puncture-resistant, got the tan walled one just so my bike looks better paired with a honey-colored leather saddle.
I've been riding Continentals for years. They never disappoint. These are my first pair of 28s. Once again, they meet my expectations and the outstanding reviews they receive.
Rolls fast and rides great. Decent puncture protection too.
These are my go-to tires that I use on my road bike, an S Works Roubaix, I get many miles on these tires, they are light and durable and hold the road very well.
I have been using continental GP road tires for 20 plus years. Great mileage, great traction. The 330TPI tire has great cornering and a very good puncture protection and smooth ride.
