The Continental GP5000 S TR, in our opinion, is the gold standard when it comes to the best road bike tyres<\/a>. It holds the title of best all-round tyre and best tubeless tyre<\/a> in our buying advice, with an almost flawless 4.5-star review.<\/p>\n

As a blisteringly quick, surefooted and smooth tyre with impressive durability, the Continental GP5000 S TR’s credentials usually mean it has a hefty and rarely discounted price tag.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, with Amazon Prime Day<\/a> officially here, I’ve found big discounts on GP5000 tyres, which see them hit the lowest price since Black Friday last year, with a nice $35 off a pair at Amazon US.<\/p>\n

Continental says the Grand Prix 5000 S TR sets the standard in road tubeless-ready tyre technology. The brand also claims it’s the lightest, fastest version to date and comes with increased puncture protection. The carcass of the Grand Prix 5000S TR features a robust construction that is designed to be impervious to damage and penetration from foreign objects.<\/p>\n

The Cyclingnews tech team has tested nearly every road bike tyre on the market, and Continental GP5000 S TR is our overall recommendation. Real-world testing is also backed up by our industry-leading Labs series<\/a> testing at the Silverstone pedalling efficiency lab, <\/a>which proved that the Continental GP5000 S TR consistently outperformed its road tyre rivals, and pretty much confirmed all the Continental claims.<\/p>\n

There’s also the small matter of the pro stamp of approval, and the GP5000 S TR has the joint title for the most stage wins in the Tour de France, used by more teams in the race than any other.<\/p>\n

In our Continental GP5000 S TR review<\/a>, our only real gripes, which stopped them getting the perfect score, were the price (so this discount covers that) and fitting. They can be a little hard to mount, so be prepared for a potential fight when fitting. The best tyre levers <\/a>will help here, and with the money saved, you can invest in my weapon of choice, the Monkey Tyre Lever by Tru-Tension.<\/p>\n
