Plenty of road tires on the market offer high performance, puncture resistance, or a supple ride, but very few can hit the sweet spot in multiple categories—that is, until the Grand Prix 5000. Continental’s newest edition of the famed Grand Prix line, the 5000 utilizes several different proprietary technologies in one tire, making some seriously capable rubber. Whether you’re racing, riding competitive group rides, or a weekend warrior, the Grand Prix 5000 is quite likely your ideal road tire. Continental features their proprietary Black Chili rubber compound in the GP5000, using advanced polymers and carbon particles to balance optimize grip and lower rolling resistance without sacrificing durability. Active Comfort Technology smooths out the bumps in the road, while the Lazer Grip shoulder micro-tread profile increases cornering performance. To top it all off, the lightweight Vectran Breaker helps prevent punctures while maintaining light weight and a sublime ride quality.
