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

I have been riding on Continental Grand Prix 4 Season tires for years. I won't use anything else. They are worth the premium you pay. I have had very few flats. The tires last a long time. Good road grip.

see above

I use these tires on my road bike, a durable tire which I like, because the likelihood of this tire flatting is slim.

great tough long lasting tires

We believe this tire gives us the best mileage of any tire we have used on our tandems. The handling and comfort of the tire exceeds the performance of other tires

I've been cheap over the years, low cost tires. Got these...wowie...now I see why riders buy top quality tires

Switched from GP 4000 and am getting way fewer flats. Not quite the same supple feel, but Ill ride these most days and be happier.

i use these for my winter bike, which is a fixed gear track bike, I ride over city streets in all conditions, including leaves, snow, sleet and rain. Certainly do recommend.

I wanted a tire for my cross bike that I could use off season on paved trail and road and not have to worry about flats and so far I am happy with my choice.

Good tire

A friend recommended this tire. He said that he never gets a flat with these tire.

Mostly for street and trail riding. I wanted a good quality tire as this is the only point between me and the pavement. The value was fantastic. The LBS is selling these for [$] installed.

These tires really absorb a lot of the road vibrations that were transmitted with the Specialized tires. They really increased the ride comfort.

This tire is now on the top of my list. Compared to Gatorskins, much more supple and much stickier on the road. Have much better feel and grip in the corners. Noticeably lighter than the Gatorskins and can feel the difference on the hills. Only downside is they are not as durable as Gatorskins. Interestingly, though, I have as many flats with these as with the Gatorskins-go figure. More than a little pricey though. But, greatly recommended.

Great tire especially when on sale

Just got off my bike after a 13 mile ride on a beautiful Portland summer day. What a difference when compared to the Scwab Luganos that came with my Cannondale Synapse.

The Luganos felt like they wanted to roll off the rim while turning, felt every bump, worried everytime I went throught the bike lane marbles. I have a bad back and love the new bike design now with these new tires I have a whole new biking experiance. My intent was to get these tires for winter but decided based on the reviews and manufacturers specs decided to put them on this morning.

Even though I just got the tires I wanted to share the First Impression from a new guy perspective. Hight recommend.

Great tire. I have 500 miles on these tires - perfect! I am switching over from Gator Hard Shells, same great protection with smooth and sure footed ride.

I only have a few hundred miles on them so far but traction on both wet and dry pavement is very good and the wear seems to be good.

I use the 25mm/95psi and 28mm/85psi versions of this tire on my two road bikes. For me they have the flat protection of a Gatorskin but provide a smoother (less harsh), more responsive ride. They probably don't last as long as Gatorskins, I get about 2,000 miles on the rear at which time I move it to the front and throw the old front away. The compound is fairly soft but provides excellent grip. I don't recommend these tires if you're prone to rear wheel lock under hard braking as you will quickly be down to the cords. I've ridden these tires from Seattle to LA, from San Francisco to Boston and from New Mexico to North Dakota. During that time I've only experienced one front flat which was my fault crossing some RR tracks.

With the Gators glass will embed and you have to get it out every once in a while, this doesn't happen with these because the rubber isn't thick enough and the compound is softer. I wore my rear tire down to the threads underneath in about 1500-2000 miles without rotation. These are lighter and grippier than Gators but last less. When bought on sale they are an awesome bang for the buck. The bike I use these on gets one new one a year and the front moves to the back. Only flat I had was with a 25 CC on MTB trails and got a pinch flat, not the tires fault at all.
