Once continental gp5000, it’s really hard to adapt to other brands🤭

[Mapdec]

Good vid. You should defo check the Good Year Eagle F1r and the Michilen PowerCup. The power cups are warping my mind.

The goat for me are the GP5000 in 28mm the only difficulty is that they are a bit
hard to get on the rim

GP5000 + Vittoria Latex Tubes, best combination in terms of puncture protection and rolling resistance I‘ve tried

[madyogi]

Had GP 3k in the ancient past, then 4k series, switched to half-the price "just" GP at around 2016 (have 2nd pair in use). These feel slower (specially if brand new). Get faster (or feel faster) when worn a bit. All 23 mm, tubes. The only drawback of GP-s is that the side wall cracks show up fast and the singular fibers peal off. Though withstand 8, usually used at ~7 bar. Great? Sure!
Lately bought Michelin Power Cup 25 mm ones for a 2nd pair of rims. In use with RideNow TPU tubes. Must say - pretty good.

Gee Tom, will be interesting conversations when the Reps visit the shop...good on you for voicing an opinion

[mrichards]

Agree with all that. For winter riding or bike packing where you are carrying a load, I would go for Conti Grand Prix 4 Seasons or Pirelli P Zero 4S.

[kennedystuart]

The GP5000 are a great tire. I switched to the Pirelli P Zero's this year. For my self I will stick with P Zeros

[melo-tcim]

Old Pirelli p zero velo is still my favourite

[rafalsjourney]

I had bad very experiences with Vittoria Corsa, too tight, too stiff so it was quite hard to install them. The whole tyre is porous so it needs to be very well covered with sealant. Now riding Maxxis High Road and they seem to be pretty good so far.

[MitchBoyer]

Great video! I might have to finally give in and try the gp5000s 😅

[meibing]

GP 5000 STR in 28mm and 32mm. Just works. Some complain they puncture too easily, but they also seal very well so not a concern for me. Will be using with TPU this fall and maybe that will change my outlook.

[adamcharles]

Goodyear f1 eagle is worth a look. P zero is my favourite. No tire lever install wins out over crashing and burning on the wet corners...

[yislamify]

Have the gp5000 in the 32mil. Very happy.

[paulflory]

Try Panaracer Agilest. I switched to them after Conti discontinued the Attack/Force combo. Extremely well made, light, smooth running/no bumps, wear well (rear squares off much more slowly than the Force did), zero punctures so far. I'm running the 23/25 normal ones, they also make lighter "Light" and slightly heavier "Duro" versions which I haven't tried yet.

[craigryde]

Nice vid Tom. Great review on the tyres

[adamweb]

IMO Continental makes the best road bike tires and Maxxis makes the best MTB tires, no contest!

[ignaciosevil]

Im seeing 7 hundred different P zero. which one are those?

[ChristopheMICLO]

pirelli pzero okay but which one ? pzero race ? pzero race sl tlr ?

[rickross]

I'm sure the continental gp5000 is great. But when I look for a tyre I first look at the tread pattern. I go for something kinda slick but also still usable in wet conditions. And it just looks like a pure slick apart from a bit of tread on the side walls. I just couldn't trust it as permanent use tyre (in England) For braking hard on the wet/dirty roads. So the (5) must only be in dry conditions. - I'm probably going to get the VIttoria Rubino Pro. 30c front, 32c rear. I'm not sure if it matters if I get a ridgid/clincher or a folding tyre. I'm fairly new to road bikes. And also trying to convert to tubeless tyres.
