A Lighter, Faster Tubeless Road Tyre with Hookless Rim Compatibility

The Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR is an updated evolution of the GP 5000 platform - lighter, faster, and built with stronger sidewalls than the previous generation, while adding a defining capability that separates it from most road tubeless tyres: full compatibility with both hooked and hookless rims. Hookless rim compatibility at up to 73 PSI (5 bar) makes the GP 5000 S TR one of the few performance road tyres that can be used across the full range of modern road and gravel rims regardless of whether they use a traditional hooked bead seat or the newer hookless profile increasingly found on carbon gravel and aero road wheels.

The tyre is available across two wheel diameters and six sizes - 700x25, 700x28, 700x30, and 700x32 on 700c, and 650bx30 and 650bx32 on 650b - covering the range from narrow race-oriented widths through to wider all-road options. Colour options include Black and Black/Transparent (tan sidewall), with weights ranging from 250g at the lightest to 320g at the widest size. Maximum PSI varies by width - 108 PSI for the narrower 25mm, 94 PSI for 28mm, and 72 PSI for the wider 30mm and 32mm sizes. The hookless rim maximum is 73 PSI across all sizes regardless of the stated maximum for hooked rims - confirm your rim type and apply the appropriate pressure limit.

The Tubeless Ready construction with a folding bead allows setup with sealant for automatic puncture sealing, reduced rolling resistance, and improved comfort at lower pressures compared to a tube setup.

• Tubeless ready (TR) carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects
• Hookless rim compatible up to 73 PSI / 5 bars

220 TPI Casing, Tread and Sidewall Protection, and Stronger Sidewalls

The GP 5000 S TR uses a 220 TPI casing - the same high thread count as the GP 5000 All Season TR - producing a supple, fine casing for excellent road conformity and low rolling resistance. The S designation indicates the updated generation of the GP 5000 platform where Continental has specifically addressed sidewall strength - making the tyre more resistant to sidewall cuts and abrasion from road debris than the previous GP 5000 TL generation.

Flat protection covers both tread and sidewall - the two most common puncture locations on a road tyre. The tubeless ready carcass construction is described by Continental as robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects, with the TR construction providing a foundation that is stronger than a standard clincher carcass at equivalent tyre weight.

Hookless Rim Compatibility and Multi-Width Application

Hookless rim compatibility is the key technical advancement in the GP 5000 S TR over previous GP 5000 tubeless iterations. Hookless rims - where the bead seat profile uses a flat or slightly concave inner edge rather than a protruding hook - are the standard on many modern carbon gravel and aero road rims. Standard tubeless tyres are not rated for hookless use at road tyre pressures, limiting the rider's tyre choice on hookless rims. The GP 5000 S TR is rated for hookless use up to 73 PSI - making it a genuinely versatile option across both hooked and hookless rim systems without requiring a separate tyre for each rim type.

For riders on modern hookless carbon wheels who want a high-performance road tyre rather than a gravel tyre rated for lower pressures, the GP 5000 S TR provides the performance road tyre option in that category. Confirm your rim's hookless or hooked status and apply the correct maximum pressure limit before use.

FAQs

What is the difference between the GP 5000 S TR and the GP 5000 All Season TR?

The GP 5000 S TR is a lighter, faster all-round road tyre focused on performance across normal conditions with hookless rim compatibility. The All Season TR is specifically engineered for all-weather and year-round use with LazerGrip wet traction technology. The S TR is the performance road option while the All Season TR prioritises wet weather confidence and year-round protection.

Is the GP 5000 S TR compatible with hookless rims?

Yes. The tyre is rated for hookless rim use up to 73 PSI (5 bar). For hooked rims, higher pressures up to the width-specific maximum apply. Confirm your rim type before setting tyre pressure.

What sizes and wheel diameters is the GP 5000 S TR available in?

The tyre is available in 700x25, 700x28, 700x30, and 700x32 on 700c, and 650bx30 and 650bx32 on 650b - covering a range from narrow race widths to wider all-road options across both common road and gravel wheel diameters.

What flat protection does the GP 5000 S TR provide?

The tyre provides flat protection across both the tread and sidewall, with a stronger sidewall construction than the previous GP 5000 TL generation for improved resistance to sidewall cuts and abrasion from road debris.

What are the maximum PSI limits for the GP 5000 S TR?

Maximum PSI is 108 for 700x25, 94 for 700x28, and 72 for 700x30 and 700x32 on hooked rims. On hookless rims the maximum is 73 PSI across all sizes regardless of width. Always apply the correct pressure limit for your specific rim type.
