Continental Ultra Sport (Wire Bead) 700c

You get what you pay for. If you buy this tire be prepared to spend more time fixing flats on the side of the road then riding. I purchased a new bike that came with these tires and in the course of riding 300 miles I had 5 flats. Looking at the conti 4000s to replace the ultra sport but still not sure since I have had such a bad experience with conti. I may consider another brand. do your self a BIG favor and stay away from this tire.

I rode this tire, front and rear, on a fixed-gear Bianchi Pista for just over three years. I rode them on city streets, rural roads, dirt roads, gutters, sidewalks, across campus, through parking lots, and never had any flats. I replaced both tubes when a valve stem ripped out after three years. I only replaced tires after I skidded through the rear tire. I don't know what everyone else is doing to procure so many flats, but I had absolutely no problem.

I have had these tires for a little over 300 miles and I get a flat almost every time. Thank god I did not get one during my triathlon! That would have sucked big time. I am gonna spend the money and get the 4000 S ! Now that tire I cant wait to get my hand on! or should I say my ride on!

This tire came on the front of a used road I bought Ultra-Gatorskin on the rear, so it already had quite a few miles on it and I put a few hundred more. Hey, no flats riding over the usual road debris. I had no idea I was riding on an $18 tire. However, am planning to upgrade to something more expensive.
