With the Continental Grand Prix 5000 folding tyres you drive faster, more comfortably and even more puncture-proof.

The lazered micro profile structure expands over the tire’s shoulder and provides outstanding cornering. Mr de Josselin Having used the GP4000's over the past 10 years, I was not disappointed with the new GP's 5000.Mr Chisum I recently had a cut sidewalk on my GP5000s in 25mm so this was an excellent opportunity to try out the same contis in 28mm. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The tyre features a visually similar tread on the shoulders to the S TR, albeit it’s said to be thickened slightly here to boost grip. Tubeless: our patented carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage from foreign objects. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and effective against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker.

Greg I swapped to Continental GP 4000 II's a few years ago and was very happy with them so when these were announced while I had doubts they'd be much better I certainly wanted to try them out. Previously I have ridden tubular for racing but as I have a nice set of 50mm Campag deep section clincher rims I decided to fit these with a decent tyre for racing, went for the 25mm front and rear. The dilemma: If you improve any of these factors it can have a detrimental effect on at least one of the others. Mr Fiendley The difference the tyres have made to my bike is unbelievable, I'm breaking PB's on roads that I've rode a thousand times. The complex compound technology is so sensitive that tyres with BlackChili Compound can only be produced exclusively in our German Korbach factory.Both tires use Continental's Black Chili compound, but what's important, and Continental isn't clear about this, is that the AllSeason TR uses a different specification of the Black Chili compound that's more optimized for grip. Lighter, Faster and with stronger sidewalls… The new standard in road tubeless ready technology – now compatible with hookless rims. I had also used Conti Gator Skins on my Old Touring bike from 2004 until it was replaced in January 2016. The Grand Prix 5000 All Season is a tubeless ready tyre made in the same way as the 5000 S TR with the same grip pattern and shape but an rubber compound that offers more grip in the wet, improve sidewall protection and the black version features a reflective sidewall.

Total Tire Thickness: The puncture force tests are static and test the force required to puncture the casing and anti-puncture layers. When I read that it was going to be just like the 4000s ll's but lighter, faster, more puncture resistant and grippier, I didn't believe it. Whether that is a function of the new elastomer layer or the supple casing, it's a welcome improvement over the somewhat harsh-riding 4000. I've decided to switch the 32s to my hybrid and go for 28s on my roadie to help get a few more kph if I can.For all the performance, they offer pretty decent puncture resistance, and about average durability. The tyre is available in widths from 25mm up to 35mm - so plenty of widths even for a commuter bike, and you can choose from black or cream sidewall colour options. Its not the fastest, lightest, grippiest or sturdiest, but it is the best all round tyre that does better than average in all categories. The increased tread puncture resistance mostly comes from the slightly thicker tread we find on the 5000 AllSeason TR, and this also means there is more tread to wear down. I mounted them on hunt aero wide wheels into a supersix evo frame and there is still plenty of clearance.

They’re more comfortable and definitely roll faster as I’m setting new PR’s on all my regular Strava routes. Thanks to the proprietary Laser Grip Technology which creates a micro tread pattern that expands over the shoulder of the tyre, the GP5000 also offers increased all-weather grip, giving you the ability to take even the most technical corners at speed. Grand Prix 5000 AS TR is a new all-season GP5000, adding some extra protection, grip and longevity to the fast GP5000 road tyre lineup. After 14 years and multiple different remakes, the popular GP 4000 has finally evolved into the next generation.Integrated into the tire construction, Active Comfort technology absorbs shocks and provides a superior riding experience.
