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

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

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

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.
