ContinentalRide Tour 700c(Return to Product Page)

After a decade of riding mostly continental gatorskins and schwalbe marathons on my city bikes, I stumbled on the Continental Ride Tour tires and will not be going back. I ride about 6-8 miles/day on the rutted streets of New Orleans and burn through tires every few months, these tires are an excellent way to avoid spending $xxx each time I wear through the tread. The tires mount easily and offer great puncture protection, from what I can tell. I ride them with normal tubes and no additional puncture protection, and the only flat I've had resulted from a botched tube change that pinched the inner tube. These are probably a bit heavy for riders who weigh their bikes and use carbon parts to shave ounces, but for the rest of us, the Ride Tour is THE city tire. Look no further.

The tires are good on the enola low grade ,rails to trails,the gravel could be thick in spots.more suited for mountain mointain bikes,although the tires on the hybrid are enspiring.And corner at speed on the street,nice neighborhood trecks.The tread patern is self cleaning and does not throw allot od debree.steep decents on a trail were Predictable.I have not had them in snow,but i expect good maners.a little heavy fo racing.

I put a set of these on before taking on a personal 1,000 miles in one month challenge, last year. They have survived completely unscathed and worked well in the wet, rainy Portland winter. I have previously used Schwalbe Marathons and they are comparable, except for lacking a reflective stripe on the sidewall. Currently our roads and bike lanes are lousy with broken glass. I'm not foolhardy, I don't deliberately ride over that stuff, but I haven't had a single flat in approximately 3,000 miles of commuting and recreational rides. I keep looking at lighter, more expensive tires, but why mess with something that's already working great?

I switched from a skinny racing tire to this tire to commute to work. I liked that it has some traction but still comes in a smaller size (28) than the other commuter tires. So far it has been a great tire. I do not ride off road, but there is a lot of road debris in parts of my commute and it handles well. Overall very happy with this tire and would definitely buy again for commuting.

My old road bike just sitting there. Nothing wrong with it. You guys recommended these tires to add to the old roadie. Now I do not need a Cross bike. I use the old ride with these nubbies for various rough road and trail scenarios. Also when I go into Philadlphia. Great on the street and less worry about getting my new bike stolen.

Great tires , very happy with proformance .

I use these for daily community and weekend rides.

I plan on having these installed on my road bike to ride GAP trail. better over comfort and confidence.

I know these tires would have worked well on my errand bike, but someone else has them.

Stable riding with these tires on my gravel bike. Salt Lake City bike path and roads have a lot of cracks and unevenness!

These work on mixed surfaces, gravel I rate these as good, over all a great tire for the money that you can ride from asphalt to hard oack single track.

These are reasonably priced, durable road tires. They stand up to normal road debris. I've pedaled over 4,500 miles on a pair of these tires and they just keep going and going.

Got these tires to retrofit my backup road bike. With this tire I do not need a cross bike. I use it as a travel ride and can now do some off road and gravel riding. BTW its a 2007 Giant OCR 1.
