I got these for my winter road bike. It's used for a five mile commute year round and also for fast club rides. The tires have performed admirably in the few months I've had them. They don't feel like they have the same absolute limits as my GP4000S on my summer bike, but darn close, and I love the fact that they're using Vectran belts, since I've had a great experience with Vectran using Schwalbe Marathon Supremes in the past. Mounting was easy enough and they're nice looking tires.
The one thing that would make these perfect as a winter tire is a reflective strip on the sidewall, a la Schwalbe. Otherwise it has all the makings of a great tire.
I bought these tires last spring after having tons of flats with my regular tires. I've ridden over 2000 hard miles and I've never had a flat with these tires! They ride well for a training tire and would probably work OK for racing. The tread on my rear wheel is pretty worn so I know I'm going to have to replace it soon. I have already bought another set for when that day comes. These tires are a bit pricey but when you consider how long they last and the reduced number of flats you are likely to get, these are a great value.
I used to run a tire that rode great and looked fantastic on my bike but oh man, flat city. So I changed to a bulletproof Schwalbe. No more flats but the tires were significantly heavier and they felt that way. I opted for a bit less flat protection for a better ride. These tires delivered big time. Way better ride quality and, so far, no flats. I'm a happy rider again.
I've been commuting 25 miles almost daily for 13 years. Definitely best bike tire for road bike commuting. Grips to road. Almost no flats even with broken glass from recycling all over city streets.
These tires are awesome! Ride nice and smooth, however are tough and do not puncture. I have yet to be on the side of the road with a flat with the 4 season, I have buying them for years! I highly recommend them .
Love this tire for its durability and performance.
First time needing new tires on my Cannondale Quick2 that I use for moderate rides 15-50 miles, usually a combo of paved path and hard gravel. I wanted something lightweight but sturdy against punctures, and with a lighter tread. This is seeming to fill the bill quite nicely. Mounted easily.
All around rider of top-line equipment, I appreciate the durability and QC of all Conti's. Ride quality is superb. I still prefer smaller 23/25c tires for my road riding, but I don't hesitate to use these on the many dirt/gravel/rail sections which are parts of my usual loops.
My new(er) bike's tires were pretty tired. I DO NOT want a flat because I pushed the life of the tires that came on the bike. The Cont. Grand Prix are tight on the corners and smooth on the straightaways. Mine are 28mm because I'm a serious recreational rider.
I've had a very good experience with the Continental Grand Prix 4-Season Road Tires I have purchased. Long life, ease of replacing, and good value
Very responsive and durable tire.
Best tires

Only had very short time as tire size for a 700x32 was actually a 34 as per my measurement. Had to return as clearance at front fork was too close and would cause debris to get stuck..Also , very hard riding..
I'm a one-bike guy so I need tires that allow me to commute in urban areas without constant flats AND keep up on longer road rides. After trying a few different tires, I've found these to best hit that sweet spot. They aren't the lightest, but they also aren't that heavy. I've been very happy with them and riding more confidently without flats since making the switch.

Pretty fast, pretty light, pretty flat resistant, lasts a long time. My other bike has Conti Grand Prix 25c, but on this bike the 4-seasons never feel slow. Great tire.
Good but not great
These are great tires. I buy them every year in the off-season sales. High performing and durable tires. Even in the times you ride them down to the threads they get you home. OK, the tires and a dollar bill as a boot. New Continental 4 Seasons are a safe bet starting any grand randonee.
I was a regular gator skin user until I tried the grand prix-four seasons tire. More grip than the gator skin with not too much more drag due to extra tread. Awesome, smooth riding, quality Continental tire that is extremely durable. Definitely will be my go to tire moving forward. Always was and will remain a Conti tire guy. Love the quality.
