Awesome tires

What can you say, they're Conti 4 Seasons. Ran the 28mm version of these tires for 1000s of miles without a flat (and ride though plenty of glass, wires and nasty bits).

They seem to provide similar protection to the Gatorskins but way more supple/lower weight.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice riding tire

Recently changed my selection of tires to the Continental Grand Prix 4-Season. Logged close to a 1000 miles, still rides well. Price for this tire is stiff, hoping to see price reduction soon.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good Flat Protection with Lower Rolling Resistance

Perfect rear tire on my new Cannondale Super Six for rough roads, chip seal, debris. Much lighter than my previous go-to, Gatorskins. Great bridge between training and racing tires. More expensive, but worth it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Conti Grand Prix 4-season

Love these tires. My go to as I feel safe in any riding condition. They grip the road well and stick well when cornering. I usually wait until they go on sale but well worth the price if you have to buy at regular selling price. I used to ride Gator Skins (which are great all purpose tires) but now I only ride the 4-seasons.

Thank you for your feedback.

Continental makes great tires

I couldn't decide between these or Gatorskins, but I like the all-black look. I had to replace one destroyed by a piece of metal that would have taken out any tire short of a Schwalbe Marathon. The Marathons are like truck tires, so the Conti's are a much better compromise between toughness and performance.

Thank you for your feedback.

No issues

I've put several hundred miles on this tire already. No flats and great traction. Bike handles like a totally different bike in a good way! I'll be buying these for my road bike as long as they're available.

Thank you for your feedback.

It�s good for tough roads.

If you're used to fast 4000s or 5000.

You are not going to like it. It�s rolling resistant is not as good as gp 4000. But it�s tough on side wall cuts and grippy. Not the fastest tire for speed, it�s good for training set of tires or commute. So far so good as I have intended to use for.

Thank you for your feedback.

Go To Tire Got Better

Continental 4 season is my go to tire for riding in the Fall through Spring when New England weather and road conditions can be iffy. This new version seems tougher than previous versions and the all black looks nice

Great tire with fair rolling resistance and very good puncture resistance

I've used Continental 4 Seasons for several years on my road bike (Lynskey R360). I have rarely had a flat. Are they the lowest rolling resistance tires out there, no they are not but they are stable and will take a lot of abuse. I like the black edition because it looks good on my titanium frame.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent tire for tandeems.

Continental has always made great tires for tandems. The only problem I noted in the past has been with the brown colored side walls on some tire. It seems that UV light would break down the sidewall fibers causing them to break prematurely. These Continental Grand Prix 4-Season Special Edition Black has eliminated this problem by covering the side walls with a black rubber coating. I also find that when using the 28 and 32mm tires on regular width rims allows for a round tread profile. This offers good straight line and cornering stability.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great all around tire

I bought these on sale and put both on my road bike. In almost 5,000 miles I only got 2 or 3 flats Before the rear needed replacing. The front lasted a bit longer, but soon needed replacing, too. Definitely great flat protection and long wear-especially for the sale price.

Thank you for your feedback.

You will not regret this tire with it's excellent grip and stopping power.

I ride the roads and bike paths but I like the confidence this tire gives you to even ride off the pavement if you have to.

Fabulous tire

On the roads in and around Los Angeles. The 4Season has a thicker sidewall than the 4000 - better flat protection for the heavier rider or urban rider. Easy on, easy off - much better than the Gatorskins. Pricier than Gatorskins but you'll be glad to have spent the extra money on a lighter, durable, and more pliable tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

Continental 4 season tires

These tires are AWESOME!! I ride 500 miles a month and am on my second purchase. Rode for a year and only 1 flat. A must tire for women who ride solo a lot.

great quality continues

these four-season tires are great for winter riding and last longer than I expected. I also use them on the trainer and compared to the wear on other tires, these last significantly longer. I don't like the cost of Continentals in general, but Bike Tires Direct helps make them affordable for the average Joe Cyclist. Thanks!

Good Tire

These tires will obviously not be as light as the GP4000's or GP5000's that I put on my road bikes but on my commuter bike they are perfect. They provide a really nice ride. If you get caught in wet weather they channel water away from the bike very effectively. A really solid tire. Get them on sale and they would be hard to beat.
