It’s probably safe to say that Continental’s GP5000 S TR is the gold standard for road bike tyres. Its superb ride quality, grippy compounds and decent durability during testing elevated it to the top spot of our best road bike tyre guide.
The real-world riding experience was backed up by our own in-house lab testing, where we put 24 tyres to the test to see which road bike tyres are the fastest. We decided to use the Continental GP5000 S TR as the benchmark, it might not have been the fastest but its performance meant we were confident in labelling it as the best all-around race tyre.
