Tire size are often described differently. You may see a tire listed as 700c x 28 or 700 x 28C. It is the same size. Personally, Iā€™m always wary of a seller that just list the tire as 28 mm with out expressing the rim size. **Q: To be 100% clear, this is the one that doesn't need an inner tube?** A: Yes, tubeless tires do not need an inner tube. The important thing to remember is that your rims must be compatible with tubeless tires. **Q: What tire pressure are folks using with this tire for road bikes? I'm 155 lbs and the bike is maybe 18 lbs.** A: I depends on the wheel I believe, I use the zipp tire pressure calculator and it gives me 58psi front and 62psi back on 28mm width in dry conditions ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ GP5K STR FTW! *by on Reviewed in the United States January 15, 2024* I went tubeless almost a year ago and I love these tires in 700x28C Black Chili.I was a little reluctant to go tubeless after hearing horror stories from others BUT I've had great success with these tires. DT Swiss tape, Stan's sealant, Muc-Off valve stems, and these tires all made for an easy conversion for me. I'm technical but I'm not a bike shop mechanic....all learned from YouTube videos on setting up tubeless.I'm unsure why some people have complained about installing these onto their wheels and getting them to seal but it's been pretty easy for me on Hunt, DT Swiss, Bontrager Aeolus Pro, and a set of Roval wheels also. It did take some extra effort on the Aeolus and by that I actually had to use levers to get both ledges to go over the rim but all went on within a minute of starting. Re-fitting these tires when used onto the wheels can be a chore to seal if you don't have an air compressor or charge pump due to them being stretched a little. But a simple air compressor line will get it to snap on pretty easily.The grip is phenomenal and the speed is right up there with all the race tires. Flat protection is decent and often self seals on small punctures and plugs work well with the compound + sealant. I had one tire I had to retire early but the slash was almost a half inch across the middle of the tread so i chalk that up to a hard failure for any road bike tire. Overall, the tire wear is satisfactory for my use with the grip it offers (I get about 3500 miles full life of a rear tire and get about 2 -3 fronts per rear); I'm a Clydesdale on a Madone that does a fair amount of climbing steep grades (5k miles and 195k feet ascending in 2023) and sprints with fellows riders in the clubs.All in all, I've recommended these tires to friends and have converted wheels for them from tubeless and have also suggested changes for those on tubeless already. Those that have tried Pirelli and Schwalbe like these tires just as much or more. Vittoria riders are usually the loyalists so I don't have a comparison 2nd hand from the club. There's a reason most of us run GP5K and I always recommend these to people that ask. ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ better than gatorskins *by on Reviewed in the United States June 7, 2024* I was so glad that the 650b-32, tubeless tire fit on my Fulcrum 900 rims easily. Rolled them on easily with a little soapy water. Able to seat the bead with a standard floor pump without any sealant. A super easy installation for me. I just happened to get a good mating between this tire and my rim. I wish everyone had the same experience.The tire surface is not too spongy. It is a much harder surface than the gatorskins that I have always used, which would collect bits of glass into the rubber. The 5000 have not collected any pieces of glass or bits of stuff. The sidewalls are quite stiff. Even underinflated the tire maintains its form for me. I do have to top off the air to the right pressure more frequently so there does appear to be some seepage. I need to look at this one day, but it is so subtle that it is not really an issue at this point.Grip and wet weather handling is fine. A more cushiony ride, but probably more attributable to using a slightly wider tire and a lower air pressure with the tubeless tire than I am used to with a tube. I am not so competitive with my riding so I will leave it to others to critique from more of a critical viewpoint.One grip. I ordered the all-black version and received the golden-colored tire. During the process of trying to get it replaced, it was discovered that the all-black version does not exist for the specific size I was purchasing. The website was incorrect. The Seller was sorry for the mistake, glad to become aware of an issue, and was going to correct immediately. I doubt too many others have an issue like this. ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Great non-race tire *by on Reviewed in the United States April 17, 2025* A bit pricey, but a good tire, and (relatively speaking) a cheap upgrade. You can run cheaper tires, but tires are important to how your bike feels and performs and spending a little more on a better tire makes sense. I've been running these for a while and they definitely feel nice and roll nice, especially when new. They don't do quite as well in colder temperatures, but I do ride on them even into the 40s and they're "fine", but they do feel like they have a bit less grip in those conditions. I've not had many puncture problems: two in >8000 miles, which sealant handled. One I think I added an inside patch to at my convenience, the other I don't think I even bothered.How much mileage you'll get out of set is dependent on a wide number of variables, so your experience might be different than mine. My last two sets I got about 4000 and 3000 miles out of, rotating them between front and back at some point during their life. My current set has about 1600 miles on them and the tire wear indicator on the rear is definitely getting close to "gone" while the front still seems to have a good bit of life left. But I've decided the hassle of rotating isn't worth it so will ride the rear until it's done then replace it. I suspect that might not be much more than 500 miles. The front I wouldn't be surprised to see get another 1600 or more.If you want a tire with better puncture resistance or is faster for racing, you can find them. But as an all-round tire that rolls relatively fast and seems to have adequate puncture protection, this is a good option. ## Frequently Bought Together - Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Tubeless Tire - Orange Seal - Endurance Formula Tubeless Bike Tire Sealant | Long Lasting, Fast Sealing | for MTB, Road, CX and Gravel Bicycle Tires - BWSHLF Tubeless Presta Valve Stem 40/44/55/60/65/80/100 mm, Super Light Alloy Presta Valve Stem Kit with Valve Core Remover Tool and Valve Stem Caps - Multiple Color and Size Options(Pair) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - šŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** ā€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - šŸŒ **Shop Globally** ā€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - šŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** ā€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - šŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** ā€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - šŸ”’ **Secure Payments** ā€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ā­ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** ā€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/447307151-grand-prix-5000-s-tr-tubeless-road-bike-tire-fast](https://www.desertcart.us/products/447307151-grand-prix-5000-s-tr-tubeless-road-bike-tire-fast) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
