Amazing!

Recently installed these and with over 100 miles I am extremely willing to say that these roll smooth,they are light, I can run high psi and quiet to boot! If looking for a tyre I highly recommend these.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent tire . . . tread looks great after 2,000 miles

I switched from by usual Continental Gator Hardshell to these because they were on sale, and can't tell the difference. I have about 2000 miles on the Continental Grand Prix 4-Season Special Edition Black and very little wear on the tread. The sidewall seems a little more beat up than usual, but I don't know if it's me or the tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

My preferred tire year round.

I've used these tires (either special edition black or original) for over 5 years. The hold up well, get relatively few punctures, and ride very well.

I'll certainly continue using these in wet or dry weather!

Thank you for your feedback.

Low drag, smooth rolling, and great in the cold

Went up to x32's from my summer x28 (GPs). Been on some long rides with them in both real cold (single digit) and fall (50's) conditions and they are awesome. Early to tell but expect to get a lot of life out of them. Had no issues keeping pace with a pack on summer skinny race tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent all around road tire

Second time around for these tires after having run the first pair for 5000 mi. Feels like a smooth roll and grips well on asphalt. Durable for off road like short, safe connector trails. I tend to reorder a tire that works at least once before going new unless I have a recommendation that motivates me to change.

Thank you for your feedback.

Was having too many flats.

Have used a different brand of tire for many years, too many flats, needed something with less flats.

Ordered these in a 700x25c this year to try. My first ride on them I noticed much less rolling resistance.

I have ridden them for 2200 miles this year and have not had any flats. I use these on a Cannondale Cad8

bicycle ridden only on paved roads. These will be my go to tire on my road bike now.

Thank you for your feedback.

I was skeptical and now I've been completely sold. Going from Vredesteins and Continentals was tough.

I use these on my daily rides. They are mounted on Enve Composites and the combination is extra special, at least in my book. They stay pressurized (I realize that is the use and stem too), so very reliable. This year's century included some gravel and they performed very well.

Thank you for your feedback.

Imagine my surprise when I opened the box only to find a USED Continental Grand Prix 4-season tire. Are you kidding me??? These tires are good, but they're not THAT good.

All round performance with exceptional puncture resistance..

These are my go to tyres for ALL seasons. Great puncture protection, they dont feel too sluggish either. Great investment for a training tyre.

What more is there to say???

The GP 4 Season is the tire I ride the most. I ride 28c on my endurance type bike. I ride 32c on one set of wheels for my gravelrain day bike. Over the years the GP 4 Season has gotten nothing but better. It is remarkably flat resistant even on bad roads and gravel.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best looking tire for the money. Great value for a fast, durable tire.

I've done a number of multi-week rides and this is the tire I use.

The best road tires I have used!

I purchased these Continentals to make my commute more comfortable and to decrease the likelihood that I will get flat. I commute 40 miles to and from work and I am very happy with these tires. Some of the bike lane on my route has glass and other debris and I honestly don't worry about getting a flat. I highly recommend these tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Back to the Continentals!

These tires are fantastic - great rubber and ride. I had switched from Continentals to another brand a few years ago, and thanks to a great sale price, I decided to try Continentals again, and differences was clear as day, these are superior tires! mark me a Continental man for life!

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tires!

These tires are worth the money! They have a great feel (FAST) low rolling friction and look great. I use them on my steel frame commuter bike (size 700x32) and absolutely love them! Highly recommended!!

Same as regular Grand Prix 4-Season only black

Love these tires and the regular Grand Prix 4-Season. The last upwards of 2500 miles or more. They don't puncture often, are grippy in both dry and wet, and are reasonable comfortable. These tires are my all year tires, the only exception being when I'll use the GP 4000s during the summer months. The 25mm tires (which I love and now use only) are not overly wide, while a set of 28mm tires I purchased left little to no room in the rear brake caliper, sometimes rubbing the rear caliper or getting small pebbles jammed in there while riding. So, depending on the size you choose and your clearance, you'll need to make sure you have enough room.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great handmade tire.

This is the second pair I have purchased, both from bike tires direct. After factoring in the extra cost they are more than worth it. They last longer and are more dependable, and delivery was right on time.

Great tire

I have been using Continental Grand Prix for 8 years. I really have had no problems with the tire. It holds it own on every surface I travel and gives me a smooth ride. Every surface is every gravel, chip-seal, sand, two track, failing city street, or smooth newly surfaced road it performs well. I am not a racer, I am a traveler(30-75 milesday).

Thank you for your feedback.

Toughness and grip

Came off a set of Veloflex Masters, and the difference is just as you'd expect between Italy and Germany. Italy passionate or whatever aka cool but flawed, lighter, faster, more delicate. Germany tough, thorough, engineered precision.

Great tires for the PNW. Not the fastest but so grippy and inspiring in slimy to wet conditions. Seem super tough so far also. I was gentler on the Veloflexes, pinch flats and all that, not so on the Contis. Full speed ahead on whatever comes, bunnyhop the urban campers. We have a lot of random shit and broken glass on our streets.
