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

Limited mileage (600) so longer term durability is still an unknown.

Size purchased were the 700c x 25mm. No visible wear issues from riding sections of gravel road, hitting broken sections of pavement at moderate speeds (25mph) and some unavoidable road garbage. Purchased these tires for spring riding conditions. Up here that means frost heaved & cracked pavement, washed out sections of road that are gravel patched, remnants of sandsalt from winter, wet pavement. Lowest recommended psi is 95. Have ridden with the front down to 90psi without any issues. I'm relatively light in weight (128 in the spring). On the rims used mounting the tires did not require the use of tire levers. On an identical set of rims needed to use a PrestaLever tire tool to mount a pair of Schwalles.

1st set of clinchers used since the early 80's. Have been a tubular only user since those days. From the 90's have stuck with Cont. Sprinters. The ride quality of the 4S in terms of comfort was better than expected. 25mm allowing lower psi may be the reason. Traction is good under all conditions at slow to moderate speeds and at shallow to moderate angles. Compared to the Sprinters on dry & clean pavement the 4S do not provide the same stick & confidence hitting a high speed & tightening radius curve.

My racing days are long, long over. Just a FGSS cruiser today. These tires fit that need. Comfort after couple hours in the saddle, dependable, adequate traction

and hopefully durable tires.

This tire is a solid choice for long brevets and randonnuering on various road surfaces and weather conditions. Put 'em on and don't worry about 'em. In particular the 25mm is fast rolling while smoothing out rough pave. Good value, especially with BTD discounts, and exceptional flat protection! Would recommend to long riders picky about the balance between weight, durability and safety in a variety of terrains.

I am a 52 year old guy who rides year round in northern California. My typical ride is about 30 miles, longer when I can, and I log about 3500 miles per year.

These have become my go-to tires. They have that perfect balance of long wear, smooth, controlled ride, and puncture resistance. They're good in wet and dry weather. I have tried several other road tires - Vredestiens, some Michelins, as well as other Conti's, but these are the goldilocks of tires.

I have had them on for 11 months, and they've got about 3500 miles on them. I did rotate front to back about 1500 miles ago as the rear was starting to wear. They have plenty of little cuts, but have resisted puncture the whole year. This is quite a contrast to all the other tires I've used, which would have been cut through long ago by the hazards these guys have endured.

They are not cheap, but the are a great value. The only minus is that they are slightly less supple & grippy than the best riding road tires, but those tend to wear out in 500 miles. I recommend these ones to every rider who asks.

These went on my aluminum Trek supported touring bike. I have over 1000 miles on them and they hardly look worn-the front still has moulding flash on it. No flats, handles great, easy to fit on my wheels. Excellent in damp and wet weather, too. Can't think of any downsides.

As the name suggests, these are great for spring training. Good low rolling resistance tires. I rode them for several hundred miles at really good speeds. Good for hard pack gravel, but not for the softer stuff. I will put them back on next spring or later this fall to complete the season.

I use the conti grand prix 4 season tires in the early part of the cycling season. It's my go to tire when there's still a fair bit of winter sand and debris on the roads. These tires also perform very well in wet conditions. By the first week in June I switch over to standard grand prix 4000's.

Love these tires. Great all around tire. High priced but good value when they go on sale.

commute 18 miles per day. Long rides on weekends. Hotter n Hell .

Ride is good wear seems to be good. No punctures for all winter on trash roads!!

Difficult to mount when new.

This is a great, fast-riding, excellent handling light touring tire. Using it on my aluminum Trek for supported touring rides. It's not the cheapest tire out there, but it works for my need and has high puncture resistance.

28mm for winter riding on a carbon cyclocross.

I've ridden these about 5,000 miles in suburban and urban commuting now with a total of 3 flats, two of which were valve problems so not the tires' fault. Also a couple of century rides on them. They're a little expensive but overall a great deal in light of their durability and worry-free performance.

I have ridden this tire for at least two years and have had one flat. Wears and rides well. Would recomend this tire without reservation.

best tires by far. ride 'em all year 'round. all conditions, gravel, dirt, city streets, snow. wear long, ride well. corner well. rarely flat.

After 800 flat-less miles in Seattle winter road conditions these tires show very little wear. My front tire still has some of the center-line mold material visible. They're a good weight for off-season race training and have very good grip in wet conditions.

This is the best tire for training. It is safe long lasting, confortable

I put these tires on as the weather turns cold. They provide better grip in the wet conditions, and also with all of the sand and salt on the roads. Not the cheapest tire, but worth the money.

This tire really smooths out all kinds of road surfaces and makes for long pleasant rides. With Continentals puncture resistence I never worry about flats out in the middle of no-where.

The only possible negative is they tend to ware a little more rapidly than some other tires.

Switched from the Gatorskins to 4 Seasons in spring. Made our tandem handle better and perform great

Ride quality was also improved

Been using these tires year round for several years. A great compromise between the GP 4000 and Gatorskins, you get the suppleness and feel of the 4000s with the puncture resistance of Gatorskins. Well worth the extra money.

I've only been running this tire for 400 miles, but they're great so far - no flats after rolling over plenty of glass. They're a bit heavy but worth it for the flat protection. They also have pretty good traction on wet roads. Great tire for Oregon winters!
