Why We Like The Continental Grand Prix 5000 Tire
The all-new Grand Prix 5000 Tire from Continental is a worthy successor to its Grand Prix 4000 S II, standing at the top of the Continental road clincher range. The Black Chili compound uses the latest polymers and synthetic rubbers along with a proven natural rubber for a high-performance blend that's truly race-worthy. It gives the tire greater ability to conform to imperfections in the road surface for excellent grip in demanding situations, which we appreciate for high-speed cornering.

Great tires
- Size Bought:
- 28
Little bit pricey, but well worth it. These tires have much more grip and feel much faster than the cheaper Vittoria's I had on my bike previously. A little hard to mount but once mounted they fit great and I haven't had any issues or punctures yet after about 150 miles.

Depends on rims...
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I've had quite a few sets of these on different bikes/wheel sets. I've had no issues with them and I recommend them to my friends. I haven't tried the tubeless versions though, but a friend has and he's had lots of punctures. These slide on without tools on HSONPLUS rims, but have to use a tool on most other rims, but not always. These clincher tires with TPU tubes is hard to beat for reliability, weight, and speed. They're pretty spot on for size, but inner rim width can change that.

too narrow
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
bought 25mm and when mounted measure 23.5mm. Not happy but what's my choice? I've used Conti for many years and never had this problem.

Almost impossible to mount
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I’ve been riding Continental tires for the last two decades. The GP5000s are almost impossible to mount across their range. The clinchers are quite challenging to mount, so much so that they don’t feel safe in the event of a roadside flat. Trying to mount new tires leaves me with multiple blisters. The tubeless version (not these) are also horrible. I will be another brand going further.

Cornering Confidence and Silky Smooth
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I have ridden on many iterations of Continental Grand Prix tires. I switch between 25c and 28c. The 25c accelerates slightly faster than the 28c, but once up to speed, the 28c won't slow you down. If you're looking for more confidence descending, choose the wider options, as there is more surface contact with the ground. The 28c offers a slightly cushier ride and can easily handle a few miles on fire roads. I ride hundreds of miles on the Grand Prix tires before changing them and experience few punctures. It would be hard for anyone to convince me to try another tire; no other tire can beat the Continental Grand Prix 5000.

Are these tubeless and if not do you have the Continental 5000 in tubeless at the same price?
