Perfect all around performance tire, from racing to long hauls, great sturdy tire
A friend recommended these tires to me and I've loved them. They have tiny marks in them for you to be aware of how much wear they've gone through and know when to replace. Didn't get the reflective kind but I think I will when shopping for new tires. Also rode in rain and they performed GREAT.
Love these tires. Very grippy and I get an excellent role. Seems to be faster than my Gator hardshell tires that I had previously.
Ivy been using these tires for several years now and I can honestly say Ive never had a flat due to a puncture. They have exceptional grip and wear like iron.
I have been riding for over 40 years and tried many different tires. The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II 700c Road Tire is one of the best for wear, flat protection and cut protection. I usually get 4000 miles out of The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II 700c Road Tires.
the continental gp 4000 sII road tire is a very good tire - perfect for the winter in the PNW where the roads are wet, and the shoulders littered with debris. These tires feel great, and are durable enough that I'm not worried about flats yet. So far, about 500 miles on them and i am very happy. And bonus!, the 28mm tires are actually 29mm when installed on Mavic Open Pro rims.
Switched to Continental GP 4000 after years of using Michelin Pros. Liked Michelin Pros because of their grip, giving confidence on speedy turns, but prone to flats & quick wear. Rarely got more than 2,200 miles on a pair. In 16 months on Continentals, only one flat, & got 4,800 miles on first pair, making price premium over Michelin's well worth it.
This a great tire. Rolls very well. Good training tire or racing tire. Very fast.
Have not used yet but have been good tire in the past.
Ride about 120 miles a week on 3 rides. Dont like changing tubes on the road. These tires when fairly new offer excellent flat protection along with a great ride. Swap them out before the wear dimples disappear.
Had to replace an almost new front tire at home due to sidewall damage. A gator skin might have been less vulnerable to this unseen road hazard.
That said will stick with this model. Buy them in pairs when on sale.
Well, out comes the GP 5000 for 2019, but I still look to the 400 for proven performance. You can't beat this tire reliability, grip, strength,....it has it all. I'll tell you how it lasts when I reach the 10,000 mile mark!
I am extremely pleased to report that after four years and over 30,000 miles of using this tire in country and urban road conditions my records reveal that 60% of the total number of tires I have ridden until quite worn out were retired without a single flat. !!!
I have been riding for about 4 years and these are the best tires I have used.
You can't go wrong with these tires. They're my favorite for both racing and training.
Good quality and a nice ride. Have been riding for years.
Been using these tires for years. Fast, supple and better then most regarding flats. That reflective stripe is very sharp especially with aero wheels.
Perfect for the road. Im a big boy and use the 700 x 25. Hey no tire is 100% perfect but I get a good life from these
I have been riding Continental tires for about twenty years. They have only improved their products and I appreciate the durability.
My latest tires are 700 x 25 and it has made a noticed improvement without any disadvantages. The ride is even better.
I've been riding on these tires for many years. They are simply the best!
Great tires for endurance riding. I was using Gatorskins on the past three century rides. The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II 700c road tire rocks. I can get better speed for sure.
Buy them.
