Folding bead The Grand Prix 5000 has been designed from the outset to improve on the most important areas of tyre design; grip, rolling resistance, speed and comfort. Continental re-designed their Black Chili compound to improve grip, rolling resistance and durability. The result is a tyre that has 12% better rolling resistance compared to the already fast GP 4000 and is also 10g lighter. Further improving grip levels and control is the new Lazer Grip tread pattern that improves corning grip and control in all conditions, giving the rider a tyre that they can have the confidence in to push to the limit. While the Grand Prix 5000 thrives in a racing environment, Continental has not forgotten about everyday usability.

Review: I have a pair of Mavic Cosmic Carbon's. A pretty common rim. Turns out the GP5000TL is pretty much impossible to fit. Took two of us to get the front one on after a couple of hours of trying. Rear was even tighter somehow so I took it to a bike shop. Took two mechanics an hour to get it on. Success...I thought. I was wrong. Neither tyre would hold air even with sealant. As somebody else has posted, submerging the tyre in water shows air leaking from hundreds of tiny pin holes round the whole circumference of the tyre. I decided I'd had enough and want to return them. Guess what, I can't get them off. Continental's response - yeah we know the Mavic's are basically incompatible. What? But you don't say this anywhere? What am I supposed to do? Send them back to Amazon they say. But I can't get them off!!! Rims now useless. Thanks Continental. Now I have to waste my time pursuing this claim.
