Continental Grand Prix 5000 Performance Road Bike Tire

Great tyres, fast rolling with good grip

Bought these in 25mm last September to replace Schwalbe 23s to get a more comfortable ride. Big mistake, maybe they grip slightly better and are definitely lighter, but on crappy Scottish roads with loose chippings the feeble side wall has already ripped apart after less than 500 miles. If you’re going to ride in the UK I would suggest a more substantial tyre.

Good tyres

Delivered on time and exactly as described. Fitted easily and ready the ride.

Works very well and doesn't have any problems yet, good grip and it survived a day on bumby Irish roads covered in chips

I’ve had these tyres a couple of times now and they are great, on my third set now and although I have had punctures the sealant you need to use along side the tyres seals them instantly. Last two sets I’ve had to replace are due to wear rather than fault, awesome tyres!

These tires are the best I've ever ridden. Expensive but tick all the boxes. Fast on and off road. Very unexpected levels of off road grip in wet and dry. Wear rate is low and puncture resistance is surprising. They smooth out road bumps and absorb impacts very well. Set up a pair of these tubeless and they will put a smile on your face!

These are fast, and grippy tyres but the puncture protection is ridiculously bad. I had 3 punctures in 3 weeks, my old very cheap schwalbe Lugano had 0 punctures in the 7 months I used those and I always went on the same route everyday for my commute. I suspect that I was given a tyre set which had been stored for a really long time as the tyres felt quite dry and had a bit of micro cracks. Overall not very good value for money considering the price of these. I wasn't expecting a tank for tyres but a puncture once a week is not acceptable for the price. Was also a pain to fit these on.
