Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 700C Tubeless Tire

A bit pricey, but a good tire, and (relatively speaking) a cheap upgrade. You can run cheaper tires, but tires are important to how your bike feels and performs and spending a little more on a better tire makes sense. I've been running these for a while and they definitely feel nice and roll nice, especially when new. They don't do quite as well in colder temperatures, but I do ride on them even into the 40s and they're "fine", but they do feel like they have a bit less grip in those conditions. I've not had many puncture problems: two in >8000 miles, which sealant handled. One I think I added an inside patch to at my convenience, the other I don't think I even bothered.How much mileage you'll get out of set is dependent on a wide number of variables, so your experience might be different than mine. My last two sets I got about 4000 and 3000 miles out of, rotating them between front and back at some point during their life. My current set has about 1600 miles on them and the tire wear indicator on the rear is definitely getting close to "gone" while the front still seems to have a good bit of life left. But I've decided the hassle of rotating isn't worth it so will ride the rear until it's done then replace it. I suspect that might not be much more than 500 miles. The front I wouldn't be surprised to see get another 1600 or more.If you want a tire with better puncture resistance or is faster for racing, you can find them. But as an all-round tire that rolls relatively fast and seems to have adequate puncture protection, this is a good option.

Great tire. Fast light, great grip, great handling. I run 32c with stans, and never had a flat. Best tire ever really.

10000km without any serious issue.It had a handful minor punctures, all fixed by the sealant. Even then I was always able to ride back home and patch.This is the real McCoy - buy it if you need it.

Really nice tire. Smooth, soft riding great handling tire.

I've used these tires (28mm) for my road bike. I ride tubeless on primarily paved roads. On my last set, I was starting to get a lot of punctures as I was nearing the end of the tube's life. I could still see the wear indicators, but it was getting close to its end of life. I'll probably go through two sets of rear tires before I need to replace my front tires. I don't ride on wet conditions much, but the few times I have ridden on wet roads, the traction has been very good. Also, I've found that the tires are easier to mount onto my wheels...not sure if the tires are more pliable/larger dimensionally, or if my technique has improved.

Upgradng from Swalbe One tubeless to GP5000 tubeless, (I also went from 25mm to 30 mm). On *my* rims (your mileage may vary) the Conti's were easier to install and inflated to pop the bead on much easier. Easier installation. Great!Then... the rolling resistance difference. I began to beat many my Strava PR's by just a little. Noticeable lower rolling restiance! Great!And the ride feel with 30mm tires at 65 PSI over 25 MM at 75-80 PSI is very noticeable. Much "cushier" ride.. Smoother, more comfortable ride (becasue of the larger tires, may not be specific to this brand/model.) Great!Better in every way!I did manage to get mine while on sale for under $80 each.. well worth it. Shame it was a late summer upgrade. Looking forward to next summer on these tires.

Excellent product work as designed. Love the puncture protection but pain to install

OK, the good is: the grip (wet roads, hot roads, cold roads) is amazing and confidence inspiring. Also, the low rolling resistance makes them fast. The bad: lower quality, lower durability and lower puncture resistance than the prior generations. This results in having to replace the tire more often.
