The Continental GP5000 S TR is proven to be the best road tyre, and it’s currently discounted by up to 38% for Amazon Prime Day

The Continental GP5000 S TR, in our opinion, is the gold standard when it comes to the best road bike tyres. It holds the title of best all-round tyre and best tubeless tyre in our buying advice, with an almost flawless 4.5-star review.
As a blisteringly quick, surefooted and smooth tyre with impressive durability, the Continental GP5000 S TR’s credentials usually mean it has a hefty and rarely discounted price tag.
However, with Amazon Prime Day officially here, I’ve found big discounts on GP5000 tyres, which see them hit the lowest price since Black Friday last year, with a nice $35 off a pair at Amazon US.
Head straight to the Amazon Prime Day deals here:
USA: 17% off two Continental GP5000 S TR $199.90 $165.17 at Amazon
UK: 38% off two Continental GP5000 S TR £169.90£105.90 at Merlin Cycles
For UK shoppers, Merlin Cycles has a whopping 38% off, so if you haven’t tried this Tour de France stage-winning rubber that has also been the choice of the all-conquering Tadej Pogačar, then I’d suggest there is no better time to grab a pair.
Prime Day runs from June 23 to June 26. As always, there are plenty of cycling deals to be had, and our Amazon Prime Day 2026 bike deals page will be the place to find all the best deals as we find them.

Continental says the Grand Prix 5000 S TR sets the standard in road tubeless-ready tyre technology. The brand also claims it’s the lightest, fastest version to date and comes with increased puncture protection. The carcass of the Grand Prix 5000S TR features a robust construction that is designed to be impervious to damage and penetration from foreign objects.
The Cyclingnews tech team has tested nearly every road bike tyre on the market, and Continental GP5000 S TR is our overall recommendation. Real-world testing is also backed up by our industry-leading Labs series testing at the Silverstone pedalling efficiency lab, which proved that the Continental GP5000 S TR consistently outperformed its road tyre rivals, and pretty much confirmed all the Continental claims.
There’s also the small matter of the pro stamp of approval, and the GP5000 S TR has the joint title for the most stage wins in the Tour de France, used by more teams in the race than any other.
In our Continental GP5000 S TR review, our only real gripes, which stopped them getting the perfect score, were the price (so this discount covers that) and fitting. They can be a little hard to mount, so be prepared for a potential fight when fitting. The best tyre levers will help here, and with the money saved, you can invest in my weapon of choice, the Monkey Tyre Lever by Tru-Tension.
