Grand Prix 5000 Clincher Tire

Super fast and great in the rain.

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Worked great…1st time used was in the Lake Placid Ironman rained heavy majority of the race.

Best tires

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Best road tires ever! I have used many sets of these tires on multiple bikes and they are the all time best in speed and handling.

Great tires

Little bit pricey, but well worth it. These tires have much more grip and feel much faster than the cheaper Vittoria's I had on my bike previously. A little hard to mount but once mounted they fit great and I haven't had any issues or punctures yet after about 150 miles.

I've used it several times

I’ve purchased from here a bunch of times, and it’s always a smooth experience with stuff that arrives really quickly. Will def shop here again

one of my favorite pairs of road tires (including the tubeless model) a fairly lightweight flat resistant option

Does the trick

It’s a trainer tire…what can you say. Working well after a few months of 5 hours a week on the bike. No premature cracks or wear. Got another to have on hand when this one is done

They are grippy but puncture easily

I've used it several times

I had a flat last week and when I repaired it I found three other lacerations in rear tire. Doesn't even have 50 miles on it. Never seen anything like this in prior tires... I am running them as training tires now.

I love these tires and Backcountry offered a terrific price.

Nothing but good things to say

I've had zero problems with these tires and I've had them on the bike for about 18 months. Not sure of the mileage because I have a lot of Zwift thrown in, but they likely have around 5-6,000 miles on them. I haven't had any flats with these. However, one of my valve stems broke (my fault), so I did have the chance to change the tube once. I discovered it right as our club was rolling out for a ride, and changing the tube was so quick that I was able to catch the pack. I do run the 28's, so maybe that's why I've had a better experience than other reviewers.
