Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR Pressure

I like them for the poor road surfaces around here. It’s a more comfortable ride than my 404s on my other bike (can’t swap due to differences in drivetrain and braking system). I get the additional comfort of a wider effective tyre which allows me to run a lower pressure. I normally run about 60psi (with 28s), when I tried lower pressures I didn’t like the way it felt on bumpy surfaces, it felt like there wasn’t enough damping.

I did a ride back in 2019 which had a load of gravel (and some very rough stuff). They handled it very well.

Hoping to get the tyres fitted this evening. Weather looks rubbish for a few days but they should be ready for trying out properly at the weekend.
