Review on ๐Ÿšด 2-Pack Continental Grand Prix 5000 Bike Tires by Jump Robinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't read this, just buy them, SERIOUSLY, now

These tires give me SO much free time at my favorite circuit. Stop reading this and buy them now. I'll listen to Martin Fry and see if Revain still sells lamรฉ jackets while you're at it. YES, I'm old, so I need to get faster with less effort. If you ride an old bike like mine with old tires you should just get these great all round tires. You are so fast. I was using really old Bontrager 23 race lights. I was running these GP 5000 25s. I was instantly FIFTEEN seconds per mile faster and all I wanted was about 15 seconds per 12 miles. I shifted into higher gears with the same effort as I had in the morning with my old tires. Rolling resistance is insanely better than before. I was better in corners. They were MUCH more comfortable. Many online browsers (GCN, Radar, etc.) think they'll hold up well, here someone claims that's not true. I will update this review every month with a durability report. Buying world-class wheels might require winning the lottery, but these world-class tires cost $100. I can't think of a better upgrade for the money. I mentioned they smashed my old PR on the bike. My god, why are you still reading? Just buy them. It's been 4 months and I have NO WEAR PROBLEMS. So it's 1500 miles later and I'm getting absolutely normal wear with no holes or unusual wear marks or patterns.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Very expensive
