The brand - new Continental Grand Prix 5000 AS (All Season) TR road tire is your perfect companion for long - distance rides. It instills confidence in all weather conditions and enhances your safety on the road. This tire shares the same construction as the top - notch Grand Prix 5000 S TR from the main line. The 'All Season' variant features a tweaked version of Continental's Black Chili Rubber compound, providing excellent grip on wet roads. Additionally, it has a reflective sidewall band that significantly improves your visibility, especially during early morning or short - daylight rides. Ideal for fall and early spring riding in Ottawa with its mixed weather and wet pavements, this is our highly recommended high - performance road tire. It's designed to be compatible with both hooked and hookless rims, representing the new standard in road tubeless ready technology.

Using this tire is easy. Just make sure to install it correctly on your compatible hooked or hookless rims. When riding, you can trust it in various weather conditions, but remember that no tire is completely immune to hazards, so stay alert. For maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure to ensure optimal performance and safety. Keep an eye on the tread wear; if it gets too worn, it's time to replace the tire. After rides in wet conditions, it's a good idea to clean the tire to remove any dirt or debris that could potentially damage it. With proper care, this tire will serve you well for many rides.
