Conti Grand Prix 5000
4Great tyres for everything from Sunday long rides to racing. I buy them for my sons who are racing at a high level and really like them for grip and speed while I’m a big fan of their rolling and puncture resistance. Thanks to Pro Bike Kit for the excellent price and good delivery times.

5Got these for a great deal at PBK. Chose them based on rating. Used them in my first IM70.3. They were great! Maybe it was the adrenaline but my average speed over the 56 miles was about .75 mph better than my previous best which was signif for me. Ride is great. Only have about 100 miles on them so too early to say for certain. But I think I really like them.
Report this reviewContinental Grand Prix 5000 Clincher Road Tyre - grippy and fast
5These tyres have low rolling resistance and help keep my 38mm deep carbon rim wheels rolling along. Good grip in dry conditions and in the wet they seem to be good too but I don't really push it in the wet. Endurance wise I can't comment I've only had them for a month.

5Excellent tire. Wear pretty good. Get around 3-3500 miles off a rear. Little issues with flats. But are easy to remove and reinstall.

5I have used these tires for 2 seasons on my "fast wheels" paired with Vittoria laytex tubes. the grip on the road is top notch. Call me a snob, but the sound/feel/speed of these has me spoiled rotten. I estimate at about 24 km/hr they are about 1 to 1.5 km/hr faster than riding with Specialized Roubaix with butyl tubes. Note they are unidirectional. I have put on several thousand kilometers (probably 4000) on these tires with one puncture (on a front tire too boot). the biggest thing to be aware of is they are often extremely hard to put on and seat correctly. To get around this use some soapy water on the beading of one side of the rim. Inflate lightly. go around the tire pinching in both sidewalls (well maybe not needed, but i do it). oh i also push the valve up a bit before inflating and then check seating of the tire by the valve...that is a spot common to all tires where the seating can get tricky. Lastly as you inflate the tire fully, you may hear the beading "pop" into place. spin the wheel and check for the obvious up/down and left / right wobbles. if there is an up/down, then the tire did not seat properly. you probably did not use soapy water so do not skip this step. Make sure your tire irons work good with this tire. my heavy duty green Muc Off tire irons are nice but a bit tricky to remove these.. I recommend a thinner tire iron.

4These replaced a pair of well worn GP4000s and, up to now, I've only covered 200 miles on them. So far they seem to be comfy, quiet and grippy. Have knocked off a star as they're a super-tight fit, and were an absolute pig to mount on the rims. Previous GP4000s, and the Gatorskins on my winter bike were much easier to fit. If you're considering these, a tyre seating tool might be a good investment to save your thumbs.
