Continental GP5000 AllSeason TR Tyre Review 2026

What Is the Continental GP5000 AllSeason TR?

The GP5000 AllSeason TR is Continental’s four-season variant of its popular GP5000 S TR race tyre, built with a thicker sidewall and a Vectran breaker for extra cut and puncture resistance without a large weight or rolling-resistance penalty. For triathletes it’s a sensible year-round training tyre — you get most of the GP5000 family’s grip and speed with meaningfully more protection for wet, gritty UK roads.

Verified Specs

• Price: £66.99 (25c) at Tredz
• Weight: approximately 300-335g depending on width (25c/28c/32c/35c available)
• Construction: Tubeless Ready (TR), hookless-rim compatible below 25mm internal width
• Puncture protection: Sidewall thickness and cut resistance increased roughly 50% versus the standard GP5000 S TR, using a Vectran breaker
• Compound: Continental’s BlackChili tread compound, shared with the rest of the GP5000 range

Who Is It For?

This is a training and winter-training tyre rather than a race-day tyre — the standard GP5000 S TR remains the lighter, marginally faster option for race day if you’re chasing every gram and watt. For year-round UK training, especially through wet autumn and winter miles where flints and glass are the main threat, the extra sidewall protection here is worth the small weight penalty. It’s a particularly good fit for triathletes who don’t want to run two different tyre sets for training versus racing.

Buying Tips

• Check your rim’s internal width and hooked/hookless status before ordering — tubeless-ready road tyres have specific rim compatibility requirements.
• Run tubeless sealant even with the extra puncture protection — the Vectran breaker resists cuts, but small punctures still need sealant to seal on the road.
• 25c is the best-selling width for most road and tri bikes, but check your frame and brake clearance if you’re considering 28c or wider for extra comfort.

Care and Maintenance

Top up tubeless sealant every 2-3 months, more often in hot weather when it dries out faster. Check tyre pressure before every ride — tubeless tyres lose pressure slightly faster than tubed setups, and correct pressure matters for both puncture resistance and rolling resistance.
