Conti rocks
5Excellent tire. Wear pretty good. Get around 3-3500 miles off a rear. Little issues with flats. But are easy to remove and reinstall.
Report this reviewSUPERB TIRES
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.
Report this reviewSo Far, So Good
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.
Report this reviewGreat tires, buying another set!
5I have only put 150kms on these tires so far, but they appear to be great tires. GP5000 are so much faster then the Conti Ultra Sport III that I had before & ride a lot smoother. Reviews claim these tires are hard to put on the rims, but I found them easy on my Giant SCR1. I will be buying another set for my Giant Rapid III. I love these tires!

5Speedy delivery, great price. Tires as advertised. Originally ran the GP 5000 in 25mm and looking forward to putting on the 28mm for this coming season.

4Great price on a high quality clincher tire. Fairly lightweight tire. Tough to mount on my Zipp 101 rims. Have'nt ridden the new tires yet, so no comments relating to rolling resistance or ride quality.
Report this reviewGood tyre but don't last very long
3I bought a these tyres a year ago. The tyres are grippy and fit well. I use them on tubeless wheels so there is a little air leakage but they usually stay inflated for a week before they need topping up. My only complaint is they have started cracking and perishing on the outer rubber, it doesn't affect the seal but I think they need replacing to be safe. I would expect tyres of this quality to last longer than 12 months.
