Review on ๐Ÿšด High-Performance Road Bike Tire: Continental Grand Prix 5000 by Alberto Brewster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm glad I waited until they went tubeless on my road bike.

Great tires! I had no trouble fitting them to my Hunt 50 carbon wheels. The other guy saying they're garbage because he can't turn them on sounds like user error to me. Tubeless tires shouldn't just slide like a clincher tire. Took me about 10 minutes per tire including pumping up the sealant. In any case, I've already driven 750 km with it without any problems. There's a positive difference in ride quality compared to the 4000II. The main thing I noticed was a smoother ride quality. The ability to run at lower pressure means better grip and cushioning on rough roads. I also bought Stans Race Sealant and Genuine Innovations tubeless tire plugs for flat tires. I don't have an apartment yet, but I'll be ready when the time comes. If you have any doubts about going tubeless, they should look into it. Conti comes back with a great product!
