Suitable commuter tires

I trust Continental tires and regularly buy them. I got burned when I last bought them from another vendor, as they were showing signs of significant age and dry-rot within four months. It's always a risk buying bike tires as many do not provide a manufacture date, but I've yet to notice any signs of advanced age from these tires. Good traction on sealed surfaces and good handling in the wet -- I've yet to push the tires too far that they slide out during any of my daily urban-fringe commutes.

Great tires

These are really good tires for gravel and asphalt. They work well under muddy conditions as well. I�ve put a set through the ringer on the GAP/C&O, Empire State Trail and several others. I rode approximately 2000 miles and only sustaining 2 flats. That�s not bad.

Nice tires initially but they don't last long.

I installed these tires (Made in India) on my vintage Motobecane, inflated to slightly below the pressure recommended on the tire. They ran well for a few weeks and then I discovered enormous circumferential cracks between the treads. The cracks go all the way around the tires. Looks like the rubber may not have been fully cured during manufacturing. Another issue with these tires- they are VERY hard to install as the beads appear to be about 5mm too small in diameter. Never had these problems with other brands I purchased from BTD -- and I have been riding this bike since the late 1970's.

I Love Them

I really like these tires. I mainly ride on the street, but when I need to cross over a different type of surface like railroad tracks or gravel, these keep me glued. With some other tires I've had, I'd always feel a little slippage, but these are solid. Work great in the rain without compromising speed. (Heads up I bike for exercise and to run errands around town, not competitively so I can't speak to that). Will probably purchase them again next season depending on the wear. Definitely recommend!

Great economy tire for rougher surfaces.

I needed to replace the tires on my road bike for city commuting and occasional trail riding (gravel roads or other somewhat rough surfaces). I found these and they seemed to fit the bill. Reasonably priced, easy install (tight over the rim at first, but that is normal). I rode them briefly on our rail trail which is compacted fine gravel with occasional sections of larger gravel. Nice tread, thicker that a normal road tire, they worked really well. Just what I wanted!

Great affordable tire

I bought these tires to revive a road bike that will be ridden in a city and on occasional gravel trails. I read a review that mentioned how tight a fit it has but I didnt struggle mounting them. I have always found that the first time on a rim is a little bit of work. I road tested them on a nearby trail I have ridden the bike on with smooth road tires and found an immediate improvement. They are a little heavier with the extra layer to help with flat prevention but I like them a lot. Note that they are directional and marked for rotation. Also lower pressure than typical road tires.

Very good tire

I bought these tires for use on my road touring bike.

I used them on a 500 mile trip through Vermont on road, gravel, and packed dirt.

They performed excellent.

Going downhill over 45 mph with 32 lbs. Of gear on my rear rack and panniers, the tires seemed less comfortable but that may be expected at the higher speed. Overall this is an excellent tire and good value for the cost. The tires show very little wear.

Disappointed.

Less than a year ago I bought several of these tires for my bikes. Within a couple of months of use the tires developed huge cracks between the treads and on the walls. I always run at rated pressure so this is very disappointing. Tires have not burst yet so I suppose I should be thankful. Also very hard to install. I lived in India for a while and I know that their bike tires are not this bad.

The best overall tire you can buy for a 27 road bike

Great tires for the price. Wanted to get back into riding a road bike, but did not like the thought of slick road tires from my youth that would come out from underneath you in a turn on wet pavement. Wanted something with a little meat on them, but not a full cyclocross tire, so I could have a comfortable road ride. Have been very pleased with these tires that I bought for my old 27 on road rides, and the trail rides on packed chat to loose gravel. These tires allow you to ride places that you could not with normal road tires. Tires are well constructed, and of high quality. I would recommend these to anyone. They have a nice road bead, and tread on the sides to take turns and not have the wheels slide out from underneath you. The tred gives you a nice ride on packed chat and gravel, and Ive done some slight off road on trails.

Great value for updating an old 10-speed

I purchased a new set of these tires while doing a full overhaul and rebuild on my 1981 speed Schwinn Sports Tourer - great price point, solid tread, fast rolling and they can happily handle some hardpack gravel trails. While tan-walls might be having a moment in the gravel/bike-packing world - these updated my bike tastefully. Easy install. Would recommend.

Multi surface

Put the tires on last winter. So far so good. Nice feel and not inordinately heavy.

We have a rail trail here and some of it is paved and some not so much. These work great, especially where road bike tires wouldn't be in their element.

Conti. Gotta love 'em.

Hooked rimmed tires on straight rims.

This tire is intended for hooked rims which I did not know upon ordering. I have an old Univega with straight rims, and i have been riding on these tires for months without a problem, despite the warning on the tires themselves. These are a lifesaver compared to the vintage tires I replaced.

Good Tire

Good tire and great price. I bought these along with Kenda thorn resistant tube. so far so good, no flat during my daily commute around the streets of NY with glass all over the place. I got 2 of these cheaper than what they would have cost me at my local bike shop even with the cost of shipping.

Continental Ride Tour is a good solid touring tire, but need an additional one. Supply chain breaks are a problem!

This tire mounted on the rims of my wife's vintage Schwinn wheels, and showed very good pressure retention over a week in a shed with a string of 90+ degF days. It is unfortunate that it is out of stock, but I clicked on the link to be informed when BikeTiresDirect get more in stock. The tread design is a good step up on the usual smooth center band, and has handled wet road surfaces very well.

Nice lookingtire, but ride is squirrelly

I bought this tire as a temporary replacement for UltraSportII smooth tread tires which are impacted by Covid.

The tread pattern is nice looking,but narrow and squiggles when riding on smooth concrete or asphalt and not maintaining a straight line.

This can be somewhat disconcerting and the behavior feels like the tire is starting to run flat.
