Continental Terra Trail ShieldWall 700c Gravel Tire

Just used for approximately 200 miles and they seem fine. Hold sealant well (which the Specialized sawtooth did not). Did not throw gravel like the Panaracer gravel kings did. Traction is good and rolling resistance doesn't seem excessive.

I bought these tires because Panaracer decided to quit making their Small Knobs in 43mm. The Continentals say 45mm, but they look to be the same width as the SK 43s. I've only had them on the bike for two months but so far so good. They were a little pricier than the Panaracers and I gave them 4 stars just because I haven't had them long enough to know how durable they are. Grip is good, slightly more aggressive than the SKs, but still low profile enough to roll well when on pavement.

I bought these to give a little more width and a more knobby pattern for racy use. They fully satisfied. For context, this bike had 38mm Tarravail Washburns on it before as it was primarily being ridden in an 'allroad' configuration (plenty of dirt but no gnarl and some pavement). My other gravel setup is at the other extreme with Mezcal Race 2.25" for the all dirt, lots of gnarl rides. For a fully dirt race, splitting the difference with a bit more mm and some better grip seemed in order. I was quite happy with the balance of a quick tire and yet still adequate comfort and grip. Easy to mount for me. No sealant seepage. No punctures (so far)

I bought these on sale for $35 each. I figured what could go wrong, they're Continentals. When I received them I noted they were made in China instead of Germany which will foreshadow the manufacturing defect that would kill the tire.

I forgave the tires high rolling resistance and stiffness(32mm GP5000s ride smoother in the rough) assuming it was a durable tire but within a month, the bead failed despite no outside damage and never running them beyond 60psi.

Fortunately I caught this before it resulted in a tire rupture. You might not be so lucky. Don't buy this junk.

Extremely durable, roll a lot better on paved surfaces than you would think'..roll great off road; gravel, dirt, trailblazing; you name it. 6-8 hours/week, 80/20 paved/unpaved.

We ride a lot of gravel/road rides on US Forest Service roads. Surface varies from smooth dirt to chunky gravel to steep climbs on loose dirt mixed with stones. These tires seem to handle those conditions well and ride just fine on the road too. I'm around 160 pounds and run them at 40 PSI. Had a pair before in black on my old bike and tossed these gum walls on my new Specialized Diverge. I'm happy.

Only around 100 miles on these so far, but has been a mix of pavement, dirt, and gravel. Rolls pretty well on all 3, doesn't feel sluggish, and haven't had any grip issues to make me lose confidence. Wasn't the hardest tire to mount tubeless that I've used but also not the easiest, at least not initially. First time, had to use both the soapy water and tire lever trick, since I don't have an air compressor. But after riding a few miles to test them out I noticed there was a direction arrow on the tires and I had mounted the front tire the wrong way. Nothing on the tread makes these look direction specific, but I went ahead and pulled it it off to mount it correctly. I noticed that the tire had stretched out a bit, and remounting was a piece of cake. No soap or other tricks needed, just used my track pump and heard the beads snap on at around 40 psi. These show a max psi of over 70, I've tried them between 30-50 and they've been fine. I weigh around 215 lbs so I prefer a little more pressure but 40-45 feels good for me.

This tire does well on easier fast single track and rougher gravel. Solid traction. A little sluggish on the road compared to other gravel tires I've used on this bike(Gravel King SK & SS, American Classic Uden) but that is to be expected with this tread.

I've had them for a little over a month and I expect they'll last a little longer than Gravel Kings.

This is a very good tire.It is very fast and quiet on pavement. It is a tire that has great traction for climbing and braking as well. It does wear out fairly fast, but it is very fun almost bald.In the dirt it works great if you like a small 35m tires. I do and I will buy them again.

I got this tire to use in the winter in New Jersey, kind of like a snow tire for a car.

It's doing great in a combination of wet gravel, wet dirt and wet asphalt.

I use the tire with a tube and it's easy to get on and off the wheel. Off the wheel the tire has a sturdy feel to it and while I only have a couple hundred miles on it and can't yet vouch for its long term puncture resistance, I mentally feel confident that I'm not going to be out in the cold fixing a flat. To paraphrase Yogi Berra Bicycling is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical.

This tire is exactly what I want/ need to get through crazy fluctuations in New Jersey weather and at a reasonable price.

Soft comfy and grippy. Curious to see how they last. But they seem to love them some VT gravel.

Love these so far. Great grip, low rolling resistance. Quiet and fast on tarmac. Very compliant without being too soft.

I'VE been running the continental SPEED KING gravel tires ( Great Tire by the way ). Well with the move into a New location I need a set of more Aggressive off-road tires & the Terra trail tire is it ! They deliver Great Performance be at dirt, mud, hard-pack or pavement put these babies to the test in the last week riding close to 200 miles in a combination of road and lots of off-road riding

This tire rolls well on pavement and still has great off road traction. The tires that came with my bike were wider but did not grip as well as these do. I have used these to commute on pavement as well as dirt roads and single track. This is my second pair and would highly recommend them.

Have used it on crushed limestone trails and it is smooth and feels grippy when the path is soft.

These tires are a good bargain.

I really like these tires. Easy to install. Grippy and smooth

Have made several rides on both asphalt and gravel. They handled well on both surfaces and they appear to be a good quality tire at a fair price

Rode these pretty hard on technical & gnarly terrain for a few hundred miles. Great on hard pack and not so bad on the loose stuff either!
