very high quality long lasting
Review by Wheelhorse
After 1700 miles of training, I rode across the U.S. (L.A. to Boston - 3400 miles) on a pair of these tires and still had good tread left. They are tough tires, even better than the competition, such as, Gator Skins.
Review by Biker Chick
I have used this tire in the past and got around 3000 miles before replacing them. I tried several other Continental tires, but have recently come back to this one. It will be my tire of choice from now on. It's great in all weather conditions and provides me the confidence I need on the road. I have not noticed any decrease in my MPH with the additional tread. It's a great value for the money and the mileage.

When you're on the road alot you really need something you can depend on like the grand prix 4-season. These tires have taken abuse from potholes, cattle guards, dirt roads and gravel and no flats or problems whatsoever. Other tires I've used in the past were pretty tough as well but usually gave into some object on the road. These tires were a bit expensive, but worth their weight in gold since they're dependable and hug the road very well. I'm sold , )

This sure was a pain to put on the wheels, but now that these tires are on, they seem great. I encounter a lot of gravel, broken plastic, and other road debris during my commutes, and they've stood up to all this so far (knock on wood!).

I find these tires to be the most reliable I've ever used on my road bikes. I ride on a lot of oilchip roads and flat out frequently until I put these tires on my new Pinarello. They are the most reliable road tires around.

This is a great tire. I use them on my Tandem. I have a 10yr old Stokid and I weigh about 170. Total weight on the tires is around 265lbs. I use the 700x28c. These roll very well, especially for a tire that is this tough. I have had no flats this season so far (1700 miles) The rear tire is showing some wear but I think it will make it through the season. Keep in mind that this is on a Tandem. Last year I tried the Gatorskins (German made ones) and had several flats and they only lasted around 1200 miles before they were completely done.
They are a bit pricey, but if you catch them on sale they are definitely worth it. I wouldn't race in them or anything, but they are a top notch trainercommuter.

I commute to work about 5 miles round trip. In addition, I ride after work and weekends when I can. So far put about 100 miles on these and they are great. Handle well and no visible signs of wear. I like the extra tread on them.
Very well made tire. My last Continentals lasted about 3000 miles, so I hope to get the same out of these.

I am running this tire in a 700C28 on a Co-Motion Tandem and it rides very smoothly. It grips the road on curves, and feels secure on wet pavement. I have run these in a 700C23 on single bikes with excellent results as well. They wear very well on singles so I am expecting similar results although slightly faster wear on the tandem. This doesn't detract from the quality or value because I like to replace the tandem tires before wear becomes even the slightest concern! When the rear tire shows wear, I move the front to the rear and put a new one on the front.
Review by Veloguy
Nice compact tire for all types of use. Tire is very resilient. I hit a small rock and had the tube blown but no damage to the tire.
It feels solid and well built.

This tire is durable. Rolls well and provides sense of security to the added stress of a tandem.
Review by Bako Biker
I ride anywhere between 30 to 50 miles three times a week. I average about 3000 miles a year. I am on my second set of Continental Grand Prix 4-Season tires and I am greatly satisfied with their endurance. You can go for miles and miles without any flats. These tires last forever, they're great. They are the best I have ever used.
Review by AlexR
I always use it on multi-day trips in the mountains in Europe. Holds well in the wet. I used it for a week in the Dolomites under various conditions and never had a flat . In fact, I've never had a flat while traveling with these tires. I used it on the Eroica in Italy-dirt roads, no flats. It descends as well as the Conti 4000. Also, long-lasting-easily over 3-4000 miles. Highly recommended.
Review by Ricpod
The only FLAT-ulence you'll experience while riding with this tire is going to come from you or other cyclists. One of the most reliable tires available, from a cyclist who rides over 5K miles per year in the Northeast.
Review by jim
very good performance on rough roads 2000 miles on the tires and they are holding up well
Review by Anonymous
We have ridden Gatorskins and tried the Hardshell for winter riding
This tires are more responsive than the Gatorskins and have held up great
We have done several 3 and 4 day events with no problems.
These are mounted on Rolf's wheels on. Tandem.
Review by Houston biker
I'm not racing anymore (at age 66), but still put in regular road miles and want dependable, safe tires when I ride. I've been using Continental Grand Prix 4 Seasons for several years and have been completely satisfied with them. They are a little pricier than other tires, but for me the extra bucks are worth it.
Review by Anonymous
The Continental Grand Prix 4-Seasons work well, but understand that they are a little softer than the Gatorskins, so they are more prone to being damaged by road debris. The ride quality is solid. They are more expensive than the Gatorskins, but are an overall solid tire that could be used for club racing and the like. The tires wear a little faster than Gatorskins, but they are more supple as well. If you are looking for a training and racing tire, this would do the job very well.
Review by mikethebike
Great tire.All pupose and training. Feels like hand made like a good tubular. Easy to install, rides supple, corners great. Lasts and lasts in all kinds of weather and conditions. The only tire that is as good as this but lighter and faster is the Conti 4000 & 4000s.
Review by Chappy McPappystackings
These are really great tires. I rode a pair of 23c on one bike for a year and got 25c for my new bike after a sidewall flat with some really beautiful Vittorias. Thus far, the only flat I've had came from hitting a shaded pot hole at 20 MPH. I also put a pair on my wife's bike because I trust these tires enough to send her out on the Texas roads with them. The 25c tires, by the way, are the easiest to mount tires I've had. With the discounted price offered by BTD, it's hard to go wrong with these.
