Review by Bob GReviewed 10/8/2020by Bob GCycling EnthusiastSF Peninsula1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.What's not to like?I've bought this tire for a friend that isn't well versed in bike parts in general. She just wanted a good value, reliable, replacement tire. There are many to choose from and the array of choices can be overwhelming. I've used many brands (Vittoria, Michelin, and Hutchinson, all good) but one stands out. That is Continental. I've had incredible luck with their tires (2 flats in 4 years, 10k miles). The SuperSport Plus lasted 2k miles on my wife's bike with no flats. They're a little heavy, a little hard, but a great value for the price and for those expecting a no nonsense tire, so I didn't hesitate buying one for my casual riding friend looking for a good value.
My favorite though is the GP5000/4000, What a tire! Supple, serious traction, lightweight, great price and great mileage.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 6/15/2017by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastDurham, ME7 of 8 customers found this review helpful.If you do not need race quality..... This is a good, tough tire I average one hundred miles per week once the snow is gone and I hate flatting. I ride in Maine and some roads are rough in Spring with left over frost heaves, cracks and chunks of pavement missing from plow activity...While these may not be race tires they are plenty fast. More importantly, they are rugged and will last....

Review by PadreoneReviewed 1/16/2021by PadreoneDover, PAHard to installHave only put on a few miles so far. Hardest tire I've ever had to put on. I went to bike shop to get new levers because I broke 3 trying to get it on. I had brought the tire and rim with me and they tried putting it on. They did it but pinched one tube and fought like hell as well.

Review by RichReviewed 1/23/2016by RichCasual CyclistWoodburn, OR6 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Okay So Far ... BUTTire seems sturdy if rather stiff. It's OK so far but .... WOW Hardest tire to mount I've ever bought. I typically carry just one tire iron on rides but with this tire you'd better have two or be prepared to walk. Hope it's as flat proof as they claim because fixing a flat on the road will be a challenge.

Review by Grizzly1Reviewed 10/12/2020by Grizzly1Cycling EnthusiastSo. Cal 1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Top Notch Super Heavy DutyTop notch flat protection, although Very heavy. However they roll very well on flats and down hills, good stability and confident feel in cornering. Slow and sluggish on climbs, and or headwinds. like pulling a sled.
Best for commuters or anyone interested in flat protection, with some performance values.

Review by Ironman-GiantReviewed 6/24/2015by Ironman-GiantCycling EnthusiastHocking Hills, Logan, OH6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Great city tires but fast, stable, free rolling for country roads. Easy to mount although others complained. WIRE beads, they are a tough tire. mounted with bare hands, no tools. When dismounting you will need a tire tool. These tires have stood up to uneven brick streets, limestone both large and small, rough sidewalks in town and surprisingly broken glass with NO problems. No flats and No leaks (Continental Race Road Tubes). I am retired and ride every day weather permitting, which has been every day but one since purchasing them. have been on my road bike only one week bit have ridden just over 250 miles. Repeating myself, no leaks and no flats. one more note if you like 23c tires try the 28c and you will get a little better ride. 100 psi and my weight is 229 lbs.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 2/3/2015by Anonymous4 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Tough city tire I bought it for my daughter she uses it for city riding and loves the toughness of the tire. Personally I think it's one of the hardest tires I've ever had to put on the rim.

Review by Lisa EbReviewed 7/18/2014by Lisa EbCycling EnthusiastUpper Peninsula of MI4 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Heavy duty!As others have said, these tires are a tank. Very thick, gonna take a lot to puncture. Also need tire levers to put them ON. Hope I never get a flat out on a ride, I'll have to call AAA. Having said that, I feel quite confident riding these tires. I don't worry about getting a flat with these. I just go!

Review by SEMOBikerReviewed 6/19/2014by SEMOBikerCycling EnthusiastJackson, MO7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Great tire for the price!Bought these for my sons road bike, the first time we rode across Kansas. The year before he had 13 flats in 475 miles. That year, he had none, even with the goat heads, shredded retreads, and glass, not a single flat. This year we rode 555 miles across Kansas on the SAME TIRES! Not a single flat, even had great grip in the rain. Have put 1300 miles on these and they are still going....the next set will be these. Good low roll resistance, great durability!

Review by K C bikerReviewed 5/28/2014by K C bikerCycling EnthusiastKansas City Mo.3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Faster than the Continental Sport Contact.I ride to work everyday that i can. Recently switched out a pair of 2 year old Continental Sport Contacts, that were in 28 cm. Just like to say great tire 2 years 2 flats on the back tube not tire related the tire is a tank nothing ever penetrated the tire. But i was looking for a little more speed and the Continental Super Sport Plus fills the order, i got it in 25 cm. And i most say climbing the hills of Kansas City Mo. Has got a lot easier now if they are as tough as the Continental Sport Contacts they will probably be the my tire of choice, this was helpful. My bike a hybrid Dawes Eclipse 3.0.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 4/12/2020by AnonymousCasual CyclistArizona2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Don't flat unless you want sore hands and frustrationThese tires were cheap and worked fine for training. Durability is about average and puncture protection is OK, which is a good thing because getting these suckers back on is an ordeal. I thought it was just me, but my father with some 35 years riding experience struggled when he tried replacing a flat with these. Probably lasted close to 2000 miles but won't be getting these again.

Review by FontanaBikerReviewed 12/19/2013by FontanaBikerFontana CABeefier tires/better road bump absorbtionI bought this tire for my 7 mile commute (one way). Has been reliable, no flats and slightly wider size helps with ride quality. Has a little more drag at start up from me previous 23-25mm wide tires. Ride quality improvement plus more road protection was a great trade off in my case. Keep 'em pumped up and ride!

Review by DonReviewed 12/12/2013by DonCycling EnthusiastBellingham, WA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Awesome value for the dollar.I was looking for a durable tire for my night rides. Because of my work schedule most of my rides each week occur at night. I have great lighting, but even with that you tend to ride over things at night that you wouldn't during the day. There's nothing worse than getting a flat at night. These tires are awesome. They perform well in all types of weather and I've felt and heard myself ride over stuff that if I'd have seen would have avoided. No flats! Great value from a quality name you can trust.
