Great Value for the Price!
For the price these tires are hard to beat. I purchased a set of 28c's for my CAAD8 race bike when the GP5000s were unobtanium. Even flying through corners I can't tell a difference in grip between these and the GPs. They don't feel quite as supple in the hand, and are very slightly heavier but for a savings of $20 per tire I can live with it. These may be marketed as more of a training tire, but they certainly have racing capabilities as well.

Hard to install, great overall performance
This is based on only the first 60 miles put on (700c x 28mm) Continental Ultra Sport III folding tires. Installation: pretty hard to do. After sweating to get the first one in place, I've decided to warm up the second one before trying to install. Warming up works! Tires are light, have low rolling resistance, and excellent grip. After 60 miles mostly on chip seal pavement with eventual dirt or cracked stretches, no flats. Time and mileage will tell more about tread wear. Up to now no wear sign. As for BTD service, swift and courteous.

Best tire 4 the $
I've been riding the Ultra Sports for a long time now. For me they have been the best tire for my money.

Good tire!
It's still new for me, but so far it's been great. It was easier to install than I imagined given that this is a folding bead. I can feel the difference when I ride compared to my previous tire -- it is certainly smoother.

tires are a big improvement over Performance brand 25c.
Mounting was tight but accomplished on first try. Cracks in pavement no longer a hazard.

Good tire
About 150 miles on these. No issues. Looks really great. The colored sidewall is far enough from the tread that it doesn't get dirty. Light enough. Zero complaints. Great band for buck.

Very grippy for downhill sweeps, even when wet.
I live and ride in a very hilly area, meaning I'm heavy on the back wheel when climbing and heavy on the front, when bombing down at over 40mph. This is my second set and the rare times they do slide they are stable and predictable. I wouldn't call them super long life, but I can imagine on the flats they would be a great long term tire.
