  • Great value for money
Style: Clincher Size: 700 x 32 Color: Black
These are my “go-to” tires for all of my bikes. I recently acquired a bike with wheels that have a 25mm inner width so I decided to install 32c tires. These tires have a well deserved reputation as being difficult to install. This time they slipped right on to the wheels, no need for soap or tire levers. Your results may vary. Once on, these tires have good ride comfort and excellent performance. They have excellent traction, good puncture resistance, and are long lasting. ... show more

  • Simply Put: The Best Road Tire You Can Buy.
Style: Clincher Size: 700 x 28 Color: Black
No hesitation rating these tires 5 stars. No hesitation at all. Tried and true. These are the best I have ever used. Have been using these tires and the previous version for many years and highly recommend them . They are durable and they roll like a dream. One of those products you buy without any reservations. I have ridden thousands of miles so I have used them without disappointment for many years. I am using these tires with TPU tubes and they make a fantastic combination. I am old school. I use 25mm tire and TPU tubes on my Tarmac SL8 and run them at 100 psi. A combination I will take any day over tubeless. Quickness and durability. I can tell you that I have never had a puncture with these tires and only need to replace them because I eventually wore them out. But only after many miles. Use them for performance and use them for durability they work for both applications . Buy them and ride them. Truly a great product. ... show more

  • A perfect all-around road tire
Style: Tubeless Size: 700 x 32 Color: Black
As a long-distance road cyclist, I've tried my fair share of tires, and the Continental Grand Prix 5000s are hands down the best I've ever used. These tires are the perfect blend of durability, speed, and comfort. What I love: Toughness: These tires are incredibly puncture-resistant. I've ridden them over all sorts of rough terrain and haven't had a single flat. Rolling Resistance: The GP5000s roll exceptionally fast. I've noticed a significant improvement in my average speed since switching to these tires. Mounting: While not the easiest tires to mount, they're definitely not the hardest either. With a little patience and some tire levers, they go on without too much fuss. Comfort: Despite their toughness, these tires offer a surprisingly smooth and comfortable ride. They do a great job of absorbing road vibrations. Overall: If you're looking for a top-performing road bike tire that can handle long distances and rough roads, look no further than the Continental Grand Prix 5000s. They're a bit of an investment, but they're worth every penny. These tires have made a noticeable difference in my riding experience, and I can't recommend them enough. ... show more

Great ride and so far no punctures. A little difficult to mount but simply leave in the sun for a few hours and they go on fne.

  • Fabulous tires
Style: Clincher Size: 700 x 28 Color: Black
Bought these in 28mm to upgrade from my original 25mm stock road bike tires. These are a great upgrade with noticeably stickier tires which also noticeably allow for better braking performance. Comfort-wise, these tires have also outperformed the previous ones with a smoother and quieter ride on chip seal roads. ... show more

  • An Effective Balance of Cost, Performance, and Durability
TL;DR In my opinion, this set of tires is the best balance of durability and speed at a moderate price point among the options I evaluated. Get the Ultra Sport II's (or Ultra Sport III's) if you're low on cash. If you have a race day coming up and want all the speed you can get, go with the Vittoria Corsa Speed G+ 2.0 (TLR) or the GP 5000 TL if you want both high performance and durability. What I Was Previously Using: I ride a 2015 Cannondale CAAD10 Ultegra. Before purchasing these tires, I still had the tires that came on the bike (about 600 miles ago), since they seemed like they had some life left in them at time of purchase. The front tire was a Mavic Yksion and the rear was a Forte Pro +. Both were fine, but not outstanding. I decided to replace them since they were starting too look quite worn. My Riding Style: I generally do medium (20 mi) to long (30-50 mi) rides at an intermediate pace (14-17 mph) on rural roads. I will often ride on rougher pavement surfaces, but typically steer clear of anything with a lot of loose gravel. Sometimes my routes will involve potholes, but I try to steer around these or get out of the saddle to absorb the bump if possible. Comparison to other Similar Tire Options: See bottom for graphical comparison This product was compared to several other tires, mostly continentals, but also a few oddball options as well. Amazon doesn’t let you post external URLs in the reviews, but I used a site that provides information on rolling resistance and durability for different tire types. I’m sure this could be easily found and used as a useful shopping tool with a quick google search. Mavic Yksion Elite: I looked up information on this tire as a baseline for comparison. They actually do not provide very good value per dollar, with performance that is similar to Ultra Sport II and Ultra Sport III for over twice the price point. Continental Gatorskin: This seemed like a good option for bikepacking or very long rides where durability is of paramount importance. According to sources I looked at, these tires come with a tradeoff in rolling resistance in order to have such high durability. I preferred something faster and was willing to use a tire with slightly less durability to accomplish this. Continental Grand Prix 4 Season: These appeared to be a slightly faster and more expensive version of the Gatorskin. They look to be only marginally less durable and appear to be intended for winter weather training. Again, these seem to be a decent option for bikepacking or training in really nasty weather, but at this time of year, I’m interested in going with something faster. Continental Ultra Sport II: These tires look like a very good value for money. They perform about as well or slightly better than the Mavic Yksion (could not find information on the Forte Pro +) for a much lower price point. These look to be very good value for the price. I strongly considered these over the GP5000 on the basis of value/$ alone. I may grab some to keep in a bag as a backup for flats on longer rides. Continental Ultra Sport III: Very similar to Ultra Sport II. Only marginally more expensive and marginally faster. Likely a somewhat newer rubber compound. Still very good value. Continental Grand Prix 4000S II: These are the precursor to the GP 5000 (this product). They are more expensive and slightly more durable, but they are somewhat slower. I didn’t see the higher price point being worth the durability increase, but many people online really seem to like this tire. Continental Grand Prix 5000 (this product): These tires are a good balance of price, durability, and performance. They are both faster and cheaper than the Grand Prix 4000S II, but they are lighter and have thinner tread and sidewall. I’ve heard some concern about this online, but I was willing to accept the risk, since they offer similar durability to the Mavic, which I’ve been using for some time. Continental Grand Prix 5000 TL: These appear to be even better than the GP 5000 (this product). They are not only more durable; they are even faster. I preferred these from a performance standpoint, but did not see the $30 price difference as worthwhile. Vittoria Corsa Speed G+ 2.0 (TLR): I looked at these just for fun. They have super low rolling resistance and look great for racing shorter courses, but they have thin tread so the risk of flats is higher. You also have to pay a hefty $116 for this level of performance. Installation: Installation of tires is generally a frustrating process. Though these are no exception, they did not seem to be any more frustrating than the average tire. I strongly recommend having tire spatulas/levers on hand for this process. You’ll need at least 2, and 3 is much easier. I installed these with only gloves and creative use of a hex wrench (because I didn’t have tire levers on hand at the time), but I don’t recommend this since you run the risk of puncturing your tube with a tool that isn’t designed for tire replacement. Like most fresh tires, once these are installed, they are tough to get off until they wear in. I strongly recommend checking direction of rotation before installation to ensure the tread is oriented in the right direction. Comfort, Ride Quality: I’ve put about 100 miles into these since time of purchase, and they feel very good. They are grippy and I run them at a somewhat lower pressure than I ran the Mavic and the Forte. I inflated both of those to around 125 psi on a typical ride, while I run these around 110 psi (they have a maximum inflation pressure of about 124 psi). This feels like it allows for a slightly larger contact patch and correspondingly more grip without feeling sluggish. I can corner at speed with a high level of confidence. I don’t know what black chili compound is, but it seems to do a good job of providing a tire that is both grippy and fast. Durability: Having only run these for about 100 miles, I can provide very limited useful information on durability. My initial impression is that while these are not nearly as tough as something like a Gatorskin, for the type of riding I do, I don’t expect issues. I’ll have to check back after a few hundred miles. ... show more

  • Excellent tires......but
Style: Clincher Size: 700 x 25 Color: Black
The Grand Prix 5000s are excellent all around tires. Great rolling resistance, acceleration, cornering,. comfort and average speed. They are not very durable. I have encountered numerous issues. Including slashes in the tread and the side walls. This was from riding on clean, well maintained roads. I would recommend these for training and racing. For general everyday riding for most people, I would recommend the regular Continental Grand Prix All Rounders, Gatorskins or Vittoria Rubino Pros. ... show more
