Great tire should get miles on this one.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

a good product

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Got a flat in my first 7 miles on my new Vectrans.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Awesome Tire for Training

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Strong, durable road bike tires

I like these tires very much. They were suggested to me by a fellow biker, and I have used them exclusively ever since. Easy to mount on my wheels

Thank you for your feedback.

Continental 4 Seasons

The only tire I use on all 3 of my road bikes. The best flat protection by far, great road grip in any condition and still a a soft enough ride w the 32m tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fast for the Flat Averse

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tire

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.

best tire available for tough roads

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

Thank you for your feedback.

My favorite tires!

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

The best durable nice riding tire I can get!

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent Winter Tire

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hands down best road 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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable Tire with Excellent Ride Quality

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Not for Thorny Conditions

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Go to winter training tire

In October, these tires go on. I've ridden through snow, ice, and plenty of wet. Super stable and fairly long lasting. Get these and never look back.

If you don't like flats this is the tire for you!

I live in Seattle where the weather can be dry, wet, slippery, severe cold (seldom) and gritty roads. I hate flats so I use a heavier tire on the road as a preventative. I am a USA Cycling Coach as well as train and race. These are not race tires at all yet you can't beat them for all season training tires. I ride roughly 8-10 hrs per week and I get approximately 2-3 flats per year with these.

I've been told to get other tires and put in inserts, etc yet I say action speaks louder than words. If it works don't fix it. I use my 4 seasons as a great all weather training tire and always have a back up on hand.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great training tire

I use these tires come the end of the summer riding season when the weather and roads can get a little wet. I used to ride them year long, but went to the 4000's in the summer when I was riding bigger rides and wanting to place well in them. That being said, I don't know if the extra couple of grams really makes that much of a difference between the 4000's and the 4 seasons.

I really like that the sidewalls seem beefier than the 4000s and, though not immune to flats, I think I flat less with these. They are expensive, but as many here will say, Bike Tires often sells them for a reasonable price. That's when I pick them up. And yeah, I did pick up another pair of 4000s for next summer just because the price here was so good a few weeks ago.

Traction can't be beat either, IMHO.

Thank you for your feedback.

The Perfect Light Touring Tire

I use these tires on my supported touring bike (aluminum Trek with small rear trunkpaniers), and on my racy bike (carbon fiber Bianchi) when riding out-of-town centuries. Haven't ever had a flat with these (knock wood) and they ride and handle very comfortably. Very stable in the wet, also. Excellent wear characteristics. They aren't particularly cheap, but they are a very good bargain overall.

Thank you for your feedback.
