How many miles can a continental Grand Prix 5000 go?
Wear of the Continental Grand Prix 5000 is extremely low. At the current rate, it looks like they can both easily make it to 6200 miles / 10000 km if the casings hold up. Please keep in mind that my regular lap which makes up 75% of all mileage is very easy on the tires as it consists of a lot of straight roads and no climbing.
How often can you test a Grand Prix 5000?
We’ve already done a test with a pair of worn Grand Prix 4000S II that was sent in by a reader who used them for 5000 miles / 8000 km. Because we received a lot of comments about the cracked rubber of that pair of Grand Prix 4000S II, we’ve decided to do an even better test with measurements every 620 miles / 1000 km.
What’s the rolling resistance on a Grand Prix 5000?
It looks like rolling resistance has been quite stable over the last 1860 miles / 3000 km after the initial increase that we’ve seen over the first 1240 miles / 2000km. The total increase in rolling resistance is also much less than the larger 32-622 version of the Grand Prix 5000 on the rear wheel. Finally, it’s getting interesting.

How are the tires on a continental Grand Prix?
After 1860 miles / 3000 km, the front tire still looks good and hardly shows any wear. The rear 32-622 is now starting to square off a bit but still has a thickness of 2.4 mm at the center of the tread. The rubber still looks to be in good shape and the casings of both tires also still look good with no visual damage.
