Smooth ride and durable.
I bought these tires in 28mm for a roadgravel race and I'm now using them on my commutercross bike on some lousy roads with occasional smooth tarmac. They're faster than my Gatorskins and a bit more comfortable. So far, they have been plenty durable as well. I may take Gatorskins off my wife's bike and put these on, or buy her a pair of her own.
I have been using Continental tires for many years, tubular and clincher, and they are as close to fail safe as I have ever experienced. I have used several other brands but none have held up as well. They have great performance feel also.
I use these tires on my road bike in the pot hole, debris littered roads of Northeast Pa. I do group rides that still need a tire that rolls easy yet holds well on crummy roads as well as buttery smooth tarmac.
I have used three sets of Continental Grand Prix 4-Season tires without a single puncture and only one pinch flat. I get 2000 plus miles per set by rotating the front to back periodically as the back wears faster. Road surfaces vary from fresh asphalt to chunky broken pavement. I am totally satisfied with the balance of wear, comfort, and handling. Only caveat is that I am a light weight rider i.e. about 55kg on the bike.
Had a confrontation with the concrete a couple years ago, broken femur - so I switched to Conti GP 4S's, still running the same set two years later. No more go boom. I have two road bikes and am running Conti's on both.
There probably one of the best and most durable four season tire out there. I keep them on two of my bikes all year long.
Great tires, at a great sale price from tires direct. Have put about 400 miles on them so far, no sign of wear at all. Comfortable and dependable, quick delivery. Will buy more.
I bought these expecting last season for set on bike 3-5000 miles on existing set, good price maybe good for another 1000.
This tire grips on turns better than the Gatorskin tire. It also seems to slightly reduce some of the road vibration or chatter, not much but its noticable. The Grand Prix 4-Season tire bests the Gatorskin in every way. When I get flats its usually in the Spring time because of all the after winter debris still on the roads and bike paths. For comparative purposes, with this tire I haven't had a puncture yet, but, that's a good sign.
Thanks guys for the quick delivery all the way to Melbourne Australia. I bought these for my 2014 BMC Gran fondo GF1 which originally came with these. I then went on to try the Continental GP S2 which are probably the best tire on the market but for the places where i ride (dusty bike track, gravel road & cobble stone lane ways) i was getting to many punctures. Now that i'm back with these ive got absolutely no problems. The best all round tyre and super grip.
same as above
Tires last a good 2 to 3 thousand miles.Excellent traction, great cornering.
One of the best all around tires in the market today, try it and you will not be disappointed.
Great grip, smooth rolling and excellent feel on the road. Super pleased with my purchase.
Excellent value on these high end tires
I put theses on my Domane and they seem great. Have riden only a few times.. So I also ordered for my Emonda and again winter time only ridden a few times but both seem great.. can't wait for nicer weather.
I PURCHASED THESE TIRES IN THE FALL AND THEY LASTED FOR OVER 3000 MILES WHEN I REPLACED THEM IN FEBRUARY. I NEVER GOT A FLAT WITH THEM AND THEY CAUSED NO PROBLEMS. WHEN I REPLACED THEM THEY STILL HAD TREAD ON THEM, BUT THE BACK TIRE WAS LOSING IT'S GRIP. I PURCHASED ANOTHER SET, BUT GOT THEM IN 28 WIDTH. I WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE THESE TIRES FOR THE FALL, WINTER, AND SPRING AS THEY LAST LONG AND ROLL FAST FOR PUNCTURE RESISTANT TIRES.
Great writing tire soft and subtle compared to gator skins
Excellent tires, i used to get flats often, but since getting these tires, rare flats...tires also preform very well in the rain...I highly recommend them....
