Review by Doug Levy
I swear by this tire, used it in Alaska for the Fireweed 400 mile race, Adirondack 540 mile race, Furnace Creek 508 mile race across Death Valley and Mohave, 24 hour races in Florida. Race Across America Solo, all races included dry, wet, ice, snow, wind, gravel, very rough roads across Kansas and Missouri.
Not to mention all of the multi-century training days for preparation for all of these races.
These tires are FLAWLESS, very easy to handle, mount and change. Great for steep climbs in wet conditions, really holds the road with almost no slipping.
These tires are my first choice, and I am not sponsored by Continental!

The Continental Grand Prix 4-Season Road Tire is a remarkable achievement in cycling technology, offering an unparalleled combination of durability, performance, and comfort. Designed for cyclists who demand the best, these tires excel in a variety of conditions—from wet roads to rough terrain—making them the ideal choice for year-round riding. The grip they provide instills confidence, allowing you to navigate corners and descents with ease. Plus, the puncture protection feature is exceptional, ensuring that you can focus on the ride rather than worrying about flat tires. Whether you're a competitive racer or a weekend enthusiast, the Continental Grand Prix 4-Season will elevate your cycling experience to new heights.
Review by Anita
I use the Grand Prix 4-Season on both my road racing bike and my commute bike, it handles well, and offers more puncture protection than a race tire. These are great tires, rain or shine, which is especially good for those long winter months (here in Portland, OR, anyway). If you find yourself faced with snow in winter, a studded winter tire is more up your alley.
Bottom line, this tire handles nearly as well in rain as it does on dry ground. It's a great purchase for anyone who rides in all conditions, and wants a durable tire that feels good.

I run 28s on both my winter training gravel bike (CX) as well as a tandem. I've ridden on all kinds of gravel roads and even on a few MTB trails with them. On the tandem we've recorded descending speeds of over 60mph and find them totally trustworthy. Logically, they are slightly heavy, but otherwise great handling, super durable, and hard wearing. My go-to tire.
Review by Rob M
Can't beat the combination of speed, weight, and puncture protection. I've been through a number of sets of these - I get about 4,000 miles on the back and 5,000 on the front before it's time for the next set.
Review by tal
Like many other reviewers I am a big fan of these tires. The only improvement I'd like Conti to make is to go one size wider. If I could I'd ride a 28 on the front and one size wider in the rear during the winter months when I'm commuting in the dark.

Great grip and instant improvement in bike feel in corners and overall ride.
Review by M from Redlands
I run or have run various conti tires and tried these for first time. After three years mounted (not heavy miles) they have developed splits/cracks all around the circumference of the tread of the tire (plus the usual deterioration of the threads around the sidewall you get with all contis). But none of my other contis have ever developed the cracks. Still riding on them but it looks like the tread is all coming apart. For comparison I have a set of Conti Grand Prix on another bike which are original tires and over seven years old with none of this happening. Would not buy this particular type again and after the blow-off I got from conti consumer support when I brought this to their attention I am rethinking the brand in general.

I have been using them on my trek road bike for years. I average less than one flat per year (I ride 5,000+ each year). Expensive tires but they last. My 32 mm tires will last over 5000 miles.
Review by wtfagan
An noticeable performance improvement vs the 700c x 23mm OEM setup. Very durable & grippy under wet, loose, crappy conditions. I'll keep buying this mod.
Review by danielvcampbell
I am a daily rider, 20 to 30 miles. I have been using Conti GP 4-season's for years. Fronts last me 12000 to 15000 miles, rears 8000 to 9000 miles. There is not a thing I don't like about them.
Review by Eric Michael
I bought the 28mm 4season to replace 4 year old 28mm Gatorskins. The Gators lasted over 10000 miles and still look usable. My bike shop said the rear tire looked thin. I put the 4 seasons on, noticed that the back tire was hitting the frame, made sure it was on right, still hitting. Took it down from 115psi to 80psi and it just barely gets through. Im still going to use them and hope that a little wear gives more clearance so I can pump my tires up! I give it a 3 because it is larger than 28mm, which is the max size for my domane. The gators had plenty of clearance even when brand new. Why the size difference, conti?
Review by jonj
These came highly recommended for my somewhat rough country roads and occasional gravelcaliche segments of rides. Never had a flat on them. They are, however, a noisy tire, more so than Michelin, Vittoria, Hutchinson I have used. Grip was on par with other tires. Good tires but there are equally good tires that do not have the road noise.
Review by Seattle Sculler
I used these tires on my steel frame road bike to ride across Bhutan in 2012. Despite the rough conditions, I never got a flat.
Review by RAP49
I have run the GP 4 Season tires for over 20 years with great results. Good reliable handling, few flats and very good durability. Never considered switching tires with the performance I have had from these. Highly recommend.
Review by BenB
I've run the 4-Season 25mm tires for years with a lot of success. After reading a lot about the advantages of a wider tire and lower pressure I decided to give it a try. The 32mm won't fit on my bike but the 28mm do and provide a stable and comfortable ride with no noticeable difference in speed or effort.
Review by RAP
Ride about 2,000 miles per year and have used the GP 4-season for 15 years or so. I have had very few flats, probably less than one per year on average. Great traction and handling. Hard to beat this tire at the sale price.

I bought a set of these a couple of years ago for my road training bike. After over 3,000 miles, I've not experienced a flat. Rolling resistance is light, and they hold their grip very well, though they do get a bit sketchy in heavy rain.
Review by alexandria cyclist
I use this tire on road bike. I use it on asphalt surfaces 40 to 80 miles per week. Durable, low rolling resistance, flat free . Tread lasts for over 2000 miles. I am on my 4th or 5th set. I have not found a better road bike tire.

I love Continental tires but was disappointed with the quick wear and constant sidewall cuts I was getting on my 4000s tires. I decided to try the Grand Prix 4 season as a last chance with Continental. I do a LOT of riding and was tired of changing flats. since I switched to the Grand Prix 4 Season, I have not had a single flat. The tires wear like steel (i.e. long tread life!) and are tough. I ride in all conditions, year round in Colorado and regardless of the gravel and debris I encounter, these tires can take it!
