   Dec 2021 Update:It has been a couple of years since I started using the Conti 5000 tires and I feel it is time to update this review and rating. I originally gave the 5000 tires a three star rating when they came out because the were about “one size” narrower than the 4000s tires I had been running for a number years (both the original and ” 4000s II” versions).I still run Conti tires (Grand Prix 5000 “standard”…not TR or TL) on all three road bikes. I like the ride quality as well as the low rolling resistance based on some testing results available on the web. I also feel the tires have very good grip for the typical road surfaces I ride on (asphalt roads, cement bike trails). I can’t speak to the wet road performance since I live in a dry climate.As for flat resistance, I can’t say I notice any stark improvement in flat resistance — but this is a tough one to accurately quantify based on real world experience. I still get flats occasionally, but don’t feel they are any worse than any high performance other tire would be.The only downside to these tires is that they can be very expensive. If you rarely ride or budget is a concern, you might check around for a different tire.In a nutshell, I’m still a Conti fan and love the tires, so I’ve bumped the rating up to five stars. As for what widths I personally use, I’m running the 28mm 5000 tires on my Specialized Roubaix Pro. For the much heavier Co-motion Carrera tandem (Rolf Carbon Tandem wheels) I stick with the wider 32mm tires.Take note that the maximum tire pressure on the 5000 version is lower than the older 4000 tires, so check your sidewalls so you don’t over inflate the tires.—- Original Three Star Review —-I’m a seasoned rider and a long time fan of Conti’s 4000s tires, using them exclusively on my road bikes and and a Co-Motion tandem. I have run various widths from 23 to 28mm, with the tandem using the 28mm tires. I had ordered the new Conti 5000 (non tubeless) tires for the front/back of the tandem in a 28mm size, to replace the 28mm 4000s II tires already on there.Much to my disappointment, the new 5000 is much narrower than the old 4000s. I didn’t realize it until I mounted the front tire and saw it was noticeably more narrow than the old tire on the rear. I have included two photos – the first is holding the two tires flat on top of each other to compare the width of the carcass itself (unmounted). The second shows the Conti 5000 mounted on a Rolf Carbon Tandem wheel. The caliper is set to the mounted width of the old 4000s tire so you can see the difference. At the time the photos were taken, all tires had 95 psi in them. In the end, the psi and rims won’t make a difference, as the carcass is noticeably narrower than the old 4000s.The ride feels the same as the 4000s tires. However, I may pull these off the tandem (heavier bike) and use them on the road bikes. In the end, I may be looking for alternatives, although it might be hard to find something with a low rolling resistance and good grip.I think the Conti quality is still there. For some of you the width won’t matter, for others, just be aware of the narrower profile over the old 4000s tires.

   I recently bought a complete bike off craiglist and they had thickslick tires. I was reading online on places like reddit to learn more about what I bought. I read that although thickslicks provide good puncture and skid protection they are heavy and dont provide good feedback from the road. The Grand Prix or “GP4000” or gp4k were the most popular recommendation. I couldnt find those and I assume it’s because they were placed by the gp5k.ANYWAYS, I took them to the local bike shop (LBS) and they said the gp’s are notoriously difficult and time consuming to install. He was able to do 2 tires in about 15minutes however. On the ride home I was surprised at how immediately noticeable the difference was. I felt like I was flying. The tires didnt feel “sticky” to the ground like the previous thickslicks. I didnt think about tires much when I thought about bike parts… but now my perspective has totally changed and I highly value tires.Overall, very satisfied and glad I took the jump to try the gp5k.

   As the biggest Fred in my town I simply must have the best stuff. This is the best tire a Fred can have as I roll over perfectly paved roads at reasonable speeds while pretending i belong in a pro peloton in the tour. That is tour de france to you plebs.

   Initial impressions: much faster than OEM Schwalbe Lugano II. Better cornering and steering response. VERY NICE tires!

   Shipped fast, rolls fast, installed easily and fast as long as you gather the bead(s) into the recessed center channel of the rim starting opposite the valve. No. Problem. Easy install on nice, wide HED Ardennes + rims.
