Description
Continental Grand Prix 5000 TL 700x32 C TiresThese are amazing tires with established performance and reliability. I bought them for my triathlon racing wheelset. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size for my optimal wheelset width.
These are brand new
, I removed them from the packaging and mounted on rim
without sealant
. I then realized I bought the wrong width. They have no wear on them. The wheels were never mounted on the bike. 0000miles on them and zero sealant used. See pictures to confirm how these are perfect.
I have 2 of them available, the price is for ONE tire.
I have been using this same model tire on my training wheelset and it is so reliable I am using it for my IM racing wheelset as well.
Let me know if you have any questions

Item #CON005Q
We're simply spoiled with using tubeless tires in all of our cycling disciplines and have come to enjoy the ability to run lower pressures for improved grip, comfort, and less rolling resistance. So, when we heard Continental was revamping its GP4000, a tire so universally loved as a competition-worthy tire in terms of weight, grip, and rolling resistance, but durable enough to fend off debris and with the ability to rack up some miles before it began to square off, we wondered if a tubeless version would launch. Thankfully, it did and the Grand Prix 5000 TL Tire gives you the ability to ride faster, with more comfort, and with increased puncture protection compared to its standard clincher version.
As Conti's first tubeless road tire to market, it uses tubeless technology specifically designed for the demands of road cycling and made sure to make it easy to install and reliable on the road. A key component to this is its careful attention to the tubeless bead that's specifically developed to seal with its unique shape and stable fit on the rim. The seal is complete with the usage of sealant which has the added benefit of plugging up most puncture induced flats you might come across on your ride.
This tubeless version continues to use Black Chili to balance the attributes it's after. The rubber compound is critical because it defines the tire's grip, rolling resistance, and longevity. The complex compound technology is so exclusive that Conti only manufactures tires using Black Chili compound in its Korbach, Germany plant. The tiny size of Black Chili particles allows them to mold to variable road surfaces more readily. It gives the tire greater ability to conform to imperfections in the road surface for excellent grip in demanding situations, such as high-speed cornering, while also reducing rolling resistance.
