Yes indeed! They are a great tyre.

Great review btw.......My GP 5000's last about 6000km, every 2-3 weeks I pick out all the bits and pieces and have never had a puncture, im on my 3rd pair. Its like anything, if you maintain them they will serve you well.

I’ve ridden both tubular and tubeless gp5000s in nyc for the last two years. No punctures yet so def the best investment if you’re in a city

For sure! These tyres seem pretty indestructible. Gotta love their strength

Just given my bike tyres a check over ready for a ride this weekend, and yep like yours here many little cuts and a few stones still in the tyre too. So jumped onto Merlincycles and thought now what to go for....was going to go with Victoria Cross G2.0 then remembered the older Gp5000's clinchers have been on for about 6000 miles and only about 1 flat - so 2 new GP5000's Clincher Browns :) ordered. PS London roads are not that bad compared to Pot Hole UK :)

Thank you for this review. I was having panic attacks from my cut up gp5000. Seems they are pretty small compared to urs. Keeps me confident

20kkm front and 9kkm rear for me. been usind these a lot.

what version of gp5000 is the best at the moment? (oct 2023) is it the S TR?

It seems I need to replace mine after a season of commuting, as cracks are appearing on the sides of the contact patch, which resembles dry rot. I guess they age faster when left exposed to the harsh northern elements.

Nice one ! Not sure if you know, but how are the Gator Skins supposed to compare to these?

@JourdainColeman

3 жыл бұрын

Hey!! I have used the Gatorskins as well and I would say the GP5000's are better all round. The gaters are basically bombproof, I had no punctures with them. But then the ride quality and grip is not as good. So the GP5000's win in my opinion. If I was just commuting then the gators could be a better choice. Nt if you do a mix of longer rides and commuting, I'd take the 5000's 👍🏽

these tyres are puncture magnets, on my previous gp4000 haven'y had single puncture during 2k cycling, changed to 5000 during first 3 weeks - 2 punctures...

Will be down to the threads in 5000km on 28mm 5000s tr run at 75 psi. 2 flats in the first 600kms was underwhelmed tbh after running gp4000s for a decade. Conti traded longevity for rr. 2mm thick vs. 3mm on gp4000. Like to consider the p zero race with smart wall when they become more readily available.

Hey Daan, they are pretty much destroyed. I commuted on Gatorskins at first and thad no punctures. Swapped to Gp4000 and felt they had much better grip. Swapped to GP5000 and that is the best of both worlds. Great puncture protection and great grip. The GP5000 are much gripier than the Gatorskins from my experience.

Surprised anyone could get 7000mi out of one of those as a rear tire. 'Still having it on the bike' is good enough. Those 'lines' in the sidewall could be casing cords that are breaking. But not unexpected with that kind of mileage
