My first go around with these tires and I absolutely love them. Fast, smooth, confidence inspiring, and the tan sidewalls look great on my 22 Roubaix Comp. The only negative is that I've only put only 1700 miles on them and the TWI is almost indistinguishable. Gonna switch to the "all season" version of these tires in hopes that they last me over 1 season.
I've only been riding for about 12 years or so. When I first started, I was using 23mm pumped to 100. Riding these I only pump to 85 or 90.
So much better.
Great tires. Fast rolling resistance, low pressures, and no issues with running tubeless with silca sealant. Would recommend 100%
Comfortable, good grip, and feels fast. Great so far. I need more miles to test their puncture protection and durability.
The 30mm were easy to setup on Zipp 303s with a regular floor pump.
Very few tires last so long that the tread is the first to go, after probably 1,000 + miles. With the tubeless setup I don't even notice when I get a thorn, and glass hardly creates a cut in the rubber.
I've used the 28s before for miles and they were good, these 32s are softer and more comfortable.
I bought these to use on my gravel bike for road rides. Install was very easy, and not a single issue with them after 500-1000 miles on rough asphalt roads. Very satisfied.
If there's a better all around tire out there, I haven't met it.
This wheel contributed greatly towards a smoother ride, on alloy or carbon. Unfortunately I've had three puncture flats in two months and will be switching to something else. I knew I was taking a risk. These are excellent as far as performance goes, so my advice would be to use in a specific situation and not expect it to commute well or withstand city roads for very long.
I have had maybe 3-4 sets of 28mm and 30mm tyres running tubeless and on my local bad road surfaces I have had failures that were not resolved with sealant or with a dyna plug.
Good tire for training & racing. seems to hold up well.
These Conti 5000 are the best Tubeless I've tried. I've avoided a number of small punctures as the tires have worked as advertised. Plus they hold air well.
Installed by weak hands on Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels. and only needed a little help with front wheel. Rear wheel inflated with hand pump. Front wheel needed the compressor. 32 mm tires inflated to 32mm. Running tubeless with 42 lbs front and 46 rear. I'm 150 lbs. Superior cornering The only negative is they aren't as compliant as other similar tires I have used.
I run 30mm 5k S TR at 60/65 pressure and they have loads of grip, roll fast & no punctures in over 2000 miles even though I regularly run over glass, pebbles & road debris.They are tough to mount but i use some sealant on the bead which allows them to slip on & seal up with a standard floor pump. The original GP 5k were great also, 15k & only 2 flats, 1 because I ran out of sealant.
Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Road Tires are fairly easy to setup tubeless. Thay ride well, stable in corners and smooth on rougher pavement.
Easy mount. Great ride. Definitely worth the price.
If you want speed these are the tires to go with
Best road tire, fast and withstands glass/debris on our local roads
Tough to tubeless mount . Took several attempts.
Riding in these , however, is excellent. Low rolling resistance, and reasonable cut resistance.
Have had several brands of performance road tires, GP 5k is my choice for overall performance. The new S TR, set up tubeless, has been excellent so far, appears to wear well and feels great.
