Grand Prix 5000S TR Faltreifen // 25-622 (700x25C)

Conti are my all time fav racing tires and won’t let you down.

One of the fastest tires available today.It takes a bit of effort and patience to install as it can get fairly tight. A tire lever is needed even for putting on the first side of the bead (25mm tire on a 21mm internal width carbon wheel ). Used the trick of squeezing tire bead to the wheel center channel and it helped a bit. A single parker tool lever and sore thumbs helped finish the installation.Very easy to set the beads with a regular floor pump and no need to remove valve core. Seem to hold the air/pressure fairly well even before I added any sealant.

These tires are high quality. They last well, have low rolling resistance, and are tough.

These are fast. And yes they are a pain to get on because they have to be tight as they are tubeless tires.

Have a road bike these are the tires to get. PERIOD.

I think Continental 5000S tubeless tires are some of the best made. They last a long time, have good puncture resistance, and low rolling resistance. I put a pair on a set of tubeless Reynolds wheels. It was a super tight fit but they popped into place once I had them on the rims.I will continue to purchase 5000S tires as longs as they make them.

First, an improved version of this tire just came out, but I still buy this original one. The first tire that I bought got a puncture, so big the sealant could not close it. Also, it was so big that a temporary plug kept popping out. OK, I cannot blame the tire for that. However, the second tire became threadbare after about 2000 miles. That is less than half a season for me. Before I went tubeless, I would at least get a full season out of my tires. That being said, the grip and rolling resistance in all weather conditions are simply great. I got this tire on sale.

All around great tires for my road bike. I couldn't get them mounted though so I took them to my local bike shop and even they struggled.
