I have been riding for over 40 years and tried many different tires. The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II 700c Road Tire is one of the best for wear, flat protection and cut protection. I usually get 4000 miles out of The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II 700c Road Tires.
Review by bradci
the continental gp 4000 sII road tire is a very good tire - perfect for the winter in the PNW where the roads are wet, and the shoulders littered with debris. These tires feel great, and are durable enough that I'm not worried about flats yet. So far, about 500 miles on them and i am very happy. And bonus!, the 28mm tires are actually 29mm when installed on Mavic Open Pro rims.

Switched to Continental GP 4000 after years of using Michelin Pros. Liked Michelin Pros because of their grip, giving confidence on speedy turns, but prone to flats & quick wear. Rarely got more than 2,200 miles on a pair. In 16 months on Continentals, only one flat, & got 4,800 miles on first pair, making price premium over Michelin's well worth it.

Ride about 120 miles a week on 3 rides. Dont like changing tubes on the road. These tires when fairly new offer excellent flat protection along with a great ride. Swap them out before the wear dimples disappear.
Had to replace an almost new front tire at home due to sidewall damage. A gator skin might have been less vulnerable to this unseen road hazard.
That said will stick with this model. Buy them in pairs when on sale.

Wait until BTD puts these on sale (which is often). The regular price is ludicrous. My car tires don't cost that much. That being said, I've been riding these tires for a very long time. They do not have the puncture or flat resistance of Gatorskins, but they roll much better and corner much better.
I am not small (6'5 and 215lbs) and these tires stand up to me and 110 psi. I get thousands of miles out of them (even the rear, of course many more on the front) on all kinds of tarmac (new asphalt to older, rutted and pitted roads).

I am extremely pleased to report that after four years and over 30,000 miles of using this tire in country and urban road conditions my records reveal that 60% of the total number of tires I have ridden until quite worn out were retired without a single flat. !!!

I have been riding Continental tires for about twenty years. They have only improved their products and I appreciate the durability.
My latest tires are 700 x 25 and it has made a noticed improvement without any disadvantages. The ride is even better.

I've been riding on these tires for many years. They are simply the best!
Review by Elyse
Great tires for endurance riding. I was using Gatorskins on the past three century rides. The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II 700c road tire rocks. I can get better speed for sure.
Buy them.
Review by Nisswa Bob
As a heavier rider (200 lbs), but one that likes to ride as fast as these old legs can do, Im always looking for a performance tire, but yet one that will last me 1000 miles. Ive found these tires in a 700c X 25mm the best for me after trying several Michelin & Schwalbe Tires as a alternative. In 4000 miles of seasonal riding my flats are usually limited to 3 - 5 (not bad?).

I have been using Continental Grand Prix 4000 for years for its reliability, superior performance and price. I ride 5K-10k miles a year. I have tried other tires but always found my self gping back to use continental Grand Prix, a bike tire I trust without breaking my budget.
Review by Tim
I know all my buddies are excited about the new 5000 tire, but really... how much better can it be? I grew-up on Italian rubber, but these tires just give you so much confidence!
Review by Neicey
I love these tires, they lastwear very well then any other tire I have used. The customer service is the best, I mistakenly got the wrong size and they shipped out the correct size immediately without having me to pay again plus sent me a shipping label. Thank you so much!
Review by TommyE
The Conti Grand Prix 4000s are - IMO - the best tires out there. They are the only tires I can legitimately get 800-1000 miles in before starting to get flats. Even then, I'm still able to go a few hundred more miles as long as I check the innards for pins or glass. Plus, the pricing on BTD makes these a consistently great value.
Review by Mark
These tires from Continental have a little long stand reputation for top tier quality. Their balance of price, performance and quality is outstanding. Customer service at BTD is top notch as well.

This has been my standard road bike tire for the past 5 years. Good durability.

Recently switched from 23s to 25s. I like the ride quality better. The 25s in this brand is very good. No flats yet and smooth ride.
