ContinentalRide City 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

When you ride in Los Angeles, CA the City with the worst road in the United States of America you need nothing less than these tires unless you like changing tubes regularly.

I put 32's on my 700 cc road bike wheels and over 400 miles thus far over glass and other constant debris on the side of the road and constant breaks in the pavement no flats or damage to the tires.

These tires provide excellent grip on pavement and you feel like you can ride over anything on the road without concern. They also brake very well.

I do not ride in wet so can't tell you.

They are not good for dirt, off-road, or gravel.

They are heavy and not good for any kind of a race.

The have a thick protective layer like a car tire.

They have a very bright reflective sidewall you can see from far away.

They require some hand strength and time to install, but no where as bad as Schwalbe tires that I had to return they are so difficult to install.

I really don't want to have to change the tubes on these tires while out in field--it's hard to stuff the tube in because the tire does not have a lot of flexibility. Again, not as bad as Schwalbe.

In sum, get these tires if you don't like flats, don't want to use liners, and you ride on poor streets like I do. You won't worry about whats on the road with these tires.

Take time and install the tubes properly in a controlled environment and plan to not change a tube for a few years.

I replaced my stock kenda kwik roller sports with these and went up 5mm. They feel so stable, and don't feel like they're gonna pop up if I hop up onto a curb. Way nicer of a ride, and way more confidence inspiring.

I'm also a casual cyclist, so I don't have a ton of reference points, but I feel they are a very worthwhile upgrade from stock.

I bought the 700 x 37 mm for a Trek Dual Sport that I use as my daily rider and commuter. I feel that these tires are a huge upgrade for me over the 700 x 40mm Bontrager GR1 Expert tires that came with the bike. I ride paths, sidewalks, hardpack trails, and a little bit of single track. These tires handle it all beautifully, rain or shine. They roll smoothly and quietly, with plenty of confidence across surfaces.

The puncture protection is amazing. I've racked up over 300 miles and not a single puncture. For reference, the GR1s had 6 punctures in 230 miles, on the same routes.

Given all this, and the price ($36 ea. when I purchased them 06/2024), I feel comfortable recommending these tires for anyone looking for puncture resistant tires for mostly paved routes. Rain or shine, they provide a great ride.

One negative note: on dry, dusty hardpack or gravel, they don't offer the most cornering grip, so don't expect miracles. However, if your ride does venture off the pavement, these tires can handle it with a modicum of caution from the rider.

Great Tire

I have set up two hybrid bikes with these tires, and in 700x37 size, they are delightful. The comfort level is a major improvement over the original equipment tires, and they are quiet, smooth rolling, and grippy. I have Contis on most of my road bikes and find them quite durable, so I would expect the same from these, and the flat protection belt is an added bonus here in Arizona.

I purchased these tires for my wife's commuter bike and they have been great ! I won't say the "F" word because I don't want to "jinx" her, but she has been riding these for many tough New York City miles and hasn't had one yet... Highly recommended !

Easy to mount. Very low rolling resistance. Excellent tire for a mens Cannondale CX 4 bicycle.

I bought these for a cruiser and they seem to work very well. I don't care about weight at all and they do their job. Roll smooth and ride well.
