Continental Gatorskin 700c Road Tire (Folding)

Day in and day out tire

The gatorskins are great all around tire. Good grip, pretty quick and tough as nails. They're not as light as Conti's race products (which are awesome as well) but for everyday riding these tires can't be beat. When Bike Tires Direct runs a special, they're even more attractive. Buy three because the rear wears about two to one, and always but a new set of Conti tubes. Because you don't want to be "that guy" who is always holding up your buds fixing your stuff!

I have used these off and on for years on my CCX. In my opinion they offer the best ride of all the tires I have used in that price range. They are brutal to get off and pretty hard to put on, I use two dull metal screw drivers. They last me about 5,000 km of mixed use, I ride them down to the cord and I rarely get a flat. Get the bike shop where you buy them to put them on, if you puncture the tube putting them on, you will be leaving a very nasty review here. Otherwise buy your tires at a box store and get a box of patches.

Continental Argotal 27.5 Inch MTB Tire

Conti Argototal Enduro soft

A tractor of a tire that just loves to dig into the thick soft dirt and wet loam. Great braking and cornering traction. Seems to be wearing decently for soft rubber as rear tire. No tears so far but hasn�t seen much heavy rock riding action. Only hindrance so far is noticeable drag climbing the steeps when used as rear tire especially, pretty much non-issue on ebike but can feel the slower roll compared to Magic Mary front/rear on other bike. Sizing a bit off as well, since their 2.4 is more like a 2.3 and their 2.6 like a 2.55. I prefer a true 2.4 front rear or 2.5 front max myself. Oh, well in the soft loamy dirt or even snow, the tire does well.

Continental Top Contact II 700c Tire 700c x 37mm great all around tire

I bought the Continental Top Contact II 700c x 37mm to replace the cheap 28mm tires that came on my new bike. I ride mostly paved streets and paths, but I wanted something that I could go off-pavement too. These tires have great grip when leaning into curves on pavement, and they are much more stable and sure-footed on course gravel with small rocks. The difference between these and my OEM tires is like night and day.

I first tried to run them around 80 PSI, but I found a better ride at around 60 PSI. I'm still experimenting. The lower pressure doesn't seem to slow me down, and it absorbs bumps and golf ball sized rocks better than the higher pressure. I use tubes. (Just old fashioned, I guess)

I almost bought the cheaper Continental Ride Tour, but decided at the last minute to buy the better tire. I'm happy with that decision. I have no complaints.

Me: 6'2", 225 lbs. Old guy.

Bike: Motobecane Tourino Expert XTL, Large frame, drop bars
