ContinentalGrand Prix 4-Season Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I have never suffered a flat tire yet! I have been using these tires for many years now and they are by far the best training tire. They do seem to have more rolling resistance than other race tires. However, every time I ride over glass accidentally and don't suffer a flat, I remember why I use them.

At 250 pounds this is a fast tire that holds up well. I have had no real issues with these other than a sidewall blow out that might have been a foreign object.

A good durable tire. I bought a second set because I liked the first set so much. I'm using the 700Cx28 size which seems on the small size for a 28, more like a 26 or 27, but that also works well for me.

If you ride on a road with lots of radial wire, glass, and rocks, this is the best tire you can use. great puncture resistance and great sidewall protection, so much better than the 5000 tires that have very weak sidewall protection and wear resistance is also very good

I went to my local bike shop to buy your Gatorskins and they did not have my size so I upgraded to the Vectrans. I had logged 1400 miles on my standard tires with only two flats, but am preparing for a 350 mile bike so wanted flat protection. With the Vectrans I got a flat tire in my first 7 miles. I switched to the Gatorskins and will ride today.

Gotta have fresh Rubber. These Treads are smooth as silk.

Love the tire because it rolls fast but it is very puncture resistant. I pretty much run these year-round, rain or sunshine because I know I can count on them to be great.

6'2 210, I ride hard, year round and cannot stand to change flats on the side of the road.

I was a gatorskin fanatic, but then I tried these! Actually a little more pliable, easier to get on my wheels than the gatorskin. Speedy tires that are practically bullet proof.

Got mine a Gold Deal here at BTD, and couldn't be happier... Maybe I should have ordered another pair.

Good durable tire, I had brand new Grand Prix racing tires and got two flats in 100 miles. I have 200 miles on these with no problems.

My wife and I both use these in 28mm and have been through at least 10 pair in the last few years. They are awesome! I weigh around 170lbs and usually run these at 7570psi. I ride them on pavement, dirt, gravel, etc. Lots of mixed terrain riding in NorCal and these have never let me down. They aren't much heavier than any 25mm tire that could handle this kind of riding and they feel much better than skinnier tires. They are way more supple than endurance tires I have tried from Specialized and Schwalbe.

I have used these tires for commuting up to 250 miles a week, 52 weeks a year, in all weather. I usually get about 2 years out of them, with no to few flats. They work so well, I use them on our tandem as well! The ride is resilient and FAST! I prefer the folding tires, because I save rotational weight, which is noticeable on hills and coming off a stop. The tires are pricy, but with the savings I get from Bike Tires Direct on sale, I have tires that are durable and I can enjoy for a long time! I can spend less, but then they are not as fun to ride, and maybe not as durable.

Great tire for cold and gravelsand covered winter asfault roads. Excellent grip even in cold temps. This tire does have a much stiffer side wall as compared to Conti 4000s, therefore less supple ride. But GP4Season is almost as fast as 4000s (not that speed matters in the winter). If you purchase from BTD when on sale it's a great value too.

I've had a very good experience with the Continental Grand Prix 4-Season Road Tires I have purchased. Long life, ease of replacing, and good value

Very responsive and durable tire.

I've been devoted to the Conti 4 seasons for a few years now. They run long, are incredibly puncture resistant, ride smoothly, and grip well. The only minus is that compared to some softer tires, the grip/smoothness is not as great. But as those soft tires have lasted me only 500 miles, and these guys will go for 2000 rear, 4000 front, it's a good trade off. Buy them on sale before you need them and save a bundle.

This tire has very good puncture resistance and durability. I rode it on the trainer last season with very little noticeable wear and then rode it outside. I cannot say that it is the fastest tire and it is somewhat weighty, but I view the extra weight as a bonus in the off season.

I used to run a tire that rode great and looked fantastic on my bike but oh man, flat city. So I changed to a bulletproof Schwalbe. No more flats but the tires were significantly heavier and they felt that way. I opted for a bit less flat protection for a better ride. These tires delivered big time. Way better ride quality and, so far, no flats. I'm a happy rider again.

I bought these to use for commuting/training since I was told they work better in wet weather than Gatorskins (which I used for years in Seattle). Due to some holiday travel, my first use of the 4-seasons was in Las Cruces, NM. I got my first flat 10km into my first ride (rear tire, thorn puncture) and my second flat 50km later (front tire, thorn puncture). Bummer, I only brought 1 extra tube since I was running brand new tires and the shops were closed for 36 hours (Thanksgiving).

After picking up 4 new tubes, I headed out for a Black Friday ride and got 2 more thorn punctures in the first 55km of the ride. I turned back at this point since I was down to 1 spare tube and managed to make it home without another puncture.

These tires will NEVER go with me again to the desert.
