What does AS mean on the Grand Prix 5000 AS TR?

AS stands for AllSeason. Continental builds it on the GP5000 S TR and adds puncture protection and grip: a reinforced sidewall construction, a thicker tread for rough roads and all-weather grip, and a reflective strip on the black version. Continental calls it the strongest Grand Prix 5000. The price is weight — 315 g against 280 g for the S TR in 700x28 black (Continental) — so it suits winter, wet roads and long training miles more than racing. Continental notes the reflective strip does not meet ECE-R88 or the German StVZO reflector rules.

Grand Prix 4-Season or Grand Prix 5000 AS TR?

Both are Continental’s all-weather road tyres. The Grand Prix 4-Season is a tube-type clincher with a double Vectran Breaker and DuraSkin sidewalls, built for durability in training, rain or shine; Continental names no compound for it. The GP5000 AS TR is Tubeless Ready (tubeless or with a tube), uses BlackChili compound, Vectran Breaker and LazerGrip, is hookless compatible to its limited maximum pressure and has a reflective strip on the black version. Inner tubes: 4-Season. Tubeless or hookless wheels: AS TR.

Is this Continental tyre hookless compatible?

Yes, within limits. Continental’s catalogue states that this tyre is hookless compatible to its limited maximum pressure and asks you to check the wheel manufacturer’s instructions and the tyre packaging. The packaging lists the maximum inflation pressure and the maximum inner rim width, which can differ between hooked and hookless rims.

Q: How do I set up a Continental TR tyre tubeless — and can I use an inner tube?

Both work: Continental designs its Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres to run tubeless or with an inner tube. For the first tubeless mounting it recommends at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tyre; spin the wheel to spread the sealant, pump to the allowed maximum pressure, and check the pressure again before your next ride.

BlackChili Compound

Continental’s signature tread compound and its answer to the balance between grip and rolling resistance. Continental says the latest polymers, specially developed carbon-black particles and filler materials give it its performance on road, gravel and mountain-bike tyres, from time trials to downhill.

Vectran Breaker

A breaker spun from liquid-crystal polymer into a thermoplastic multi-thread yarn. Continental says the fabric is more cut-resistant than aramid with five times the tensile strength of steel, and that a Vectran breaker is lighter, more flexible and better against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker — without affecting rolling resistance.

LazerGrip

A lasered micro-profile structure that extends over the tyre’s shoulder; Continental says it gives outstanding cornering grip — “to make you one with the road”.

Active Comfort Technology

A layer embedded in the tyre construction that, Continental says, absorbs vibrations and smooths the ride.

Tubeless Ready (TR)

Continental says its TR casing is robust against damage and penetration from foreign objects, and that TR tyres can be run tubeless or with an inner tube. For the first tubeless mounting Continental recommends at least 30 ml of Conti RevoSealant per tyre: spin the wheel to spread it, pump to the allowed maximum pressure and check the pressure again before the next ride.

Description

The Grand Prix 5000 AS TR (AllSeason) is the GP5000 for winter, wet roads and long training miles. Continental builds it on the S TR and adds puncture protection and grip — a reinforced sidewall construction and a thicker tread for rough roads — and calls it the strongest Grand Prix 5000. Tubeless Ready and hookless compatible to its limited maximum pressure (Continental); the black version has a reflective strip. It is heavier than the S TR, so racers should stay with the S TR.
