ContinentalContact Plus 27.5" (650b) Tire(Return to Product Page)

When these tires arrived at my door the first thing I noticed is they're heavy. When I mounted them on my fendered Rivendell Saluki I noticed they were bigger than I thought. I had to adjust my fenders. I think they're more like 44's than 42's. They mounted relatively easy. I pumped them up to 25psi not the max rating of 65. I weigh 140 so I don't need them filled up more than that. They ride really nice at that pressure and they corner great. I absolutely love the feel of these tires, I can ride all day. I don't care that they're heavy. I like knowing I will have few if any flats with them. I hope that helps

I rode the florida coast to coast trail with these tires and they still have nobbies after 500 miles. Excellent choice

2K+ miles in 10 months before I gave in for a lighter tire. 1 puncture in that time.

Ridden them on dail commute for 500 miles, zero flats, rolls smooth, good traction.

Cons feel heavy and slow.

Guess I would rather be a little slower than have to stop for a flat in winter

Used for everyday riding, commuting. Never had a problem. Reflective side wall is great for early morning low light.

Smooth riding tire that grips well and absorbs rough Illinois roads.

Used them on gravel, hard pack single track, chip & seal and asphalt.
