Continental

I commute regularly between Ashland and Medford on my trusty 80's-era Eddy Merckx. I hate having to deal with flats, especially if I have a time deadline. I've used the Gatorskins for years, and have found

them to be fairly sturdy, even if not bombproof. Also, I've noticed a couple of minI-pits developing on one of my newer tires, something I haven't seen before. I'll have to see if these become a problem.

Any tire can get a puncture. However, these tires wear well, and are resistant to punctures.

A few years ago a group of us rode from Delaware to Florida, a three week trip. The people in the group running these tires had few flats than the rest of us. That was in 2017, ever since i been running these, and haven't had many flats. Some seasons (avg 5000 miles a year) none.

I'm 76, 190, and currently ride an Orbea Gain e-bike about 90-100 miles a week. I use the the 4-Season 32mm with tubes around 90-95 psi. These tires feel absolutely correct. The weather is usually dry in Nevada so I can't speak about serious rain riding. A little hard pack or light gravel is no problem at reasonable speed. For me, the 4-seasons are a step up in feel from Gatorskins and seem to wear about the same. They are comfortable in corners with a heavy bike. Heck, they're comfortable all the time.

These Continental Terra Trail 650b Gravel Tires are fast. They have great rolling resistance. I bought these for the $ock Cobbler and they did not let me down! The puncture resistance was top of the line. I ran them tubless at 35 psi and I had not problem with punctures. These have become my favorite tire especially with mixed terrain like road to hard pack, single track, and chunky rock. They did well over grass too. I would recommend these to anyone looking for speed and stability. I would buy another set 100%.
