All-Weather Road Performance in a Wider 35mm Width with Tan Sidewall

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 All Season TR 700x35 is the wider version of Continental's all-weather road tubeless tyre - delivering the same BlackChili compound, Vectran Breaker protection, and LazerGrip wet traction technology as the 700x32 version in a 35mm width that adds volume, compliance, and all-surface versatility. The Black and Cream colourway - featuring Continental's signature tan sidewall - gives this version a classic aesthetic that suits the growing number of road and gravel bikes styled around a traditional visual character alongside modern performance.

At 35mm the All Season TR moves into a width range that bridges road cycling and light gravel use - wide enough to provide meaningful tyre volume and comfort on varied surfaces, and to run at lower tubeless pressures for improved traction on mixed terrain. The maximum recommended PSI is 65 for the 35mm width - lower than the 72 PSI maximum on the 32mm version, reflecting the additional air volume and the appropriate pressure range for a wider tyre. At tubeless pressures comfortably below 65 PSI, the 35mm width provides a noticeably more compliant and comfortable ride on rough and mixed-surface roads than a narrower alternative.

The tyre weighs 315g - slightly lighter than the 700x32 at 325g despite the wider casing, reflecting differences in the construction between width variants. Both are Tubeless Ready with a folding bead.

BlackChili, Vectran Breaker, LazerGrip, and 220 TPI

The same three performance technologies from the 700x32 version apply here. BlackChili is Continental's high-performance rubber compound providing the low rolling resistance and grip combination the GP 5000 range is known for. The Vectran Breaker provides tread and sidewall puncture protection across both most common puncture locations - particularly relevant in the wet and wintry conditions that the All Season designation targets, where road debris accumulation and surface contamination increase puncture risk. LazerGrip delivers improved wet traction through compound and tread pattern engineering that specifically addresses grip on wet road surfaces.

The 220 TPI casing provides a supple, fine casing for good road feel and rolling efficiency despite the additional protection layers the All Season construction adds over a standard performance road tyre.

FAQs

How does the 700x35 version differ from the 700x32 All Season TR?

The 700x35 is 3mm wider, providing more air volume for improved compliance and comfort at lower tubeless pressures. The 35mm version has a maximum PSI of 65 versus 72 for the 32mm, weighs 315g versus 325g, and is available in the Black/Cream tan sidewall colourway. The wider casing is more suited to riders who want additional tyre volume for mixed-surface or rough road riding in all-weather conditions.

What is the maximum PSI for the 700x35 All Season TR?

The maximum recommended PSI is 65 for the 700x35 width. Running the tyre tubeless typically allows pressures well below this maximum for improved comfort and traction - particularly useful in wet conditions where lower pressure increases the tyre's contact patch.

Is the tan sidewall purely aesthetic or does it have functional significance?

The Black/Cream colourway with tan sidewall is primarily an aesthetic choice - referencing the classic look of traditional road tyres. The performance specification of the 700x35 All Season TR is identical to the black version.

Is the GP 5000 All Season TR 700x35 suitable for light gravel use?

The 35mm width and Vectran tread and sidewall protection make this tyre more capable on light gravel and mixed-surface roads than a 25mm or 28mm road tyre. However the All Season TR is a road-intended tyre and is not designed for the kind of rough gravel or trail riding that a dedicated gravel tyre handles. It is well suited to rough road surfaces, light gravel lanes, and mixed-surface commuting in all conditions.

Does this tyre require tubeless setup or can it be run with a tube?

The All Season TR is Tubeless Ready - it can be run tubeless with sealant or with a standard inner tube as a conventional clincher. Tubeless setup provides the additional benefits of lower pressures, automatic puncture sealing, and reduced rolling resistance.
