CONTINENTAL Grand Prix 5000 Clincher Tire Black/Cream, 700X28

I'm not too pro, but enough to say that this tyres are really awesome, inmediately you ride with this, you can feel de smoothness, you can feel the low resistance with the road. I was a user for vittoria zaffiro pro 2.0 and vittoria rubino pro, the Vittoria it's more durable, but it's more rigid, you can feel every little hole on the road.I definitely will buy another of this.

Been riding with Continental 5000 for 2 years. I have them on my older Carbondale Synapse and now on my brand new BMC Roadmachine 01 Three. BMC came with very nice Vittoria stock tires but I really wanted the Grand Prix 5000 clinchers and got the Pirelli smart latex tubes. Note these tires are very tricky to get on. They are extremely tight fitting. Once on they are great. Recommend going to a pro bike shop. It’s worth $15 a tire to get them installed. The latex are reputed more puncture resistant but can get easily pinched when installing. Beautiful with the tan sidewalks. Ready for riding and lab tested rolling resistance make this tire with these tubes one of the top tires in the world. Never stop riding as it’s a source of fitness salvation and you need the best tires.

My biggest dislike about this product is that, in a desperate and selfish act, I purchased it on Amazon, a company I strongly dislike for several reasons: its dismal treatment of employees; its union-busting; and, to name just one of many more, its monopolization of online shopping — itself a phenomenon that already has had all kinds of negative consequences for the retail industry and the people working in it, as well as digitalization's broader effect of alienating people from one another, minimizing human contact and maximizing materialistic impulses bereft of humanity.The thing I like most about the product is that it succeeds at its expressed purpose: to make me go faster on my bike, with increased traction, improving my ability to crush my adversaries on the road.

Simply terrific tires. They measure up true to width on my H+Son Archetype hoops. They mounted easily enough, used levers to get the final bead over the rim, but nothing extra-ordinary. They roll well, and by well I mean FAST and smooth. The cream colored sidewalls are a nice touch.Conti make absolutely great tires, and you won't go wrong with these.

Both tires came in good condition and no sign of deformation after assembled.I see some reviews complaining about this, and this is most likely to old stock, pretty common in Aliexpress btw.I'm not sure where this actually comes from, but my set came in good shape.

As always, the road bike tyres from Continental are a quality product. These cream sidewall ones made my bike look awesome. So much so, I feel like I am riding a new bike. I've had the 5000 as well as the 4000 SII prior to these ones. I have ridden around 500 km so far on these new tyres and can say that the grip and durability are spot on.

Picture had 2 items but I only received 1 item. Otherwise the product itself is good wanted to buy another pair sadly they only sent one.

When inflated to 75 PSI (the Silca calculator recommendation for my rider/bike weight), these "28mm" tires measure 29.5 at various points around my Roval CF wheels on a 2021 Tarmac SL7. They ARE NOT 28mm tires. The Bicycle Tire Rolling Resistance web site confirms the entire GP5000 range is wider than listed when inflated - at least at the 28mm size.That could be either good news or bad news to you, depending what tire width you want. For me, this turns out to be a good thing. When I bought these in 2023, I wanted to move up 28mm tires from 25mm because just a year ago the trend was to go with 28, including in the pro peloton. Less than a year later and the pros and many others have moved to 30-32mm. Since these tires are much closer to 30mm than they are to 28mm, I'm pretty happy and don't have to buy another set of tires.Keep in mind that if you are using one of the online calculators to determine PSI, that you should use 29mm or 30mm (technically, 29.5 rounds to 30, not 29). That makes a significant difference in recommended PSI.
