I like Conti’s overall. Now as to the 5000’s........well, to me they are performing as I would expect. To many riders (us wanna be’s) will never really notice a lot like that of a pro rider, but they do as stated for sure. I think using this tire may depend on your overall asphalt condition too. If you live in a area that has severely crappy roads, you may want to get some tire more bomb proof. But if you are riding the typical asphalt roads of the countryside, they certainly are good tires.
