ContinentalTown And Country 26 Inch Tire(Return to Product Page)

I bought these for my wife's bike. We wanted something that would last and allow her to ride on gravel, sand and still have good performance on the road. We have had them for about two and a half months and the sidewalls are already cracking. We have only put about 50 miles on the tires. This should not be happening so soon. I will not buy these tires again.

Work's great on asphalt or dirt blke trails

These tires have made my ride so much smoother in the Chicago city streets than the previous mountain tires I had on previously. I am also able to get through rough terrarian ( rocks, muddy grass, etc...) when having to navigate around concrete.

No complaints here!

I ride ten miles daily and have logged several hundred miles on these tires. Excellent construction and wearability.lots of tread left to go many more miles.I am a large powerful rider at 260 lbs. What's not to like ?

Great Conti tire for cycling on the city streets of NYC and surrounding mountain bike trails. Good tread for both surfaces and tough sidewalls..

Urban mountain biking.. steps, parking garages, sidewalk trails..Very smooth and fast.

Rides smooth and steady

I used these tires for street work for 10 years as a bike cop. Not light but pretty tough and good flat resistance. Enough tread to do mud without sliding all over the place. Roadies will not like the weight but for an urban tire, riding the gutters, side walks or wherever you have to ride, these are my choice. ( the ones I used were the gumwall)

As I said, a good tire as I ride on dirt hard pack trails and transition to the street.

I have had the 2.1 wide version for about 4 years and probably 300 leisurely miles. Most were on city streets with occasional forays onto dirt trails. With no sporting pretense, these are cushy and I think perfect for the way I ride.

On hard surfaces, the tire presents continuous road contact. Ride is quiet with apparently low rolling resistance. When ground is soft, the reverse knobby thread sinks in a bit and provides pretty good traction. Thread is hardly worn and should be good for at least another 300. I've not had a flat yet.

Some years ago I took a spill on smooth ground with a mono-layer of probably 3mm gravel (like ball bearings). I chose these tires with the thought of not repeating the same again with smooth road tires. The thread pattern should allow firm ground contact without the constant noise of normal knobbies. I've had good luck so far.

Changed tires on my wife's bike to allow less resistance as compared to her maxxis igniters. Shes so impressed I may put them on my mtn bike. I'd definitely purchase them again. Thanks

I'm a roadie and still put over 500 miles a year on my old hardtail mountain bike. In the Spring, Maine roads can be brutal for a road bike, so I normally start the riding season on my mountain bike. I switched from a knobby to the Conti Town and Country (2.1) about 5 years ago and glad I did. They are perfect for any pavement and gravel trail. OK for sandy conditions. Smooth and very comfortable. Obviously, not for steep mountain trails. Durability is insane and no flats to top it off. Not sure if one could tell, but I really enjoy these tires.

This is a kevlar bead tire that works great for commuting on city streets with good traction but slick enough to move fast!

Purchased two sets for two differnt bikes. Faster than an dirt tire but was looking for something with a bit less rolling resistance. I have had these tires for years and have well over 2000 miles (all road) on them. Although I think there are a few miles left on them I a switching to a 26x1.3 tire with an 80 psi rating (slick). I would buy these again if I wanted a tire that would last...and last....and last.

They used to be gum-wall in the photo now they're black, and the sidewalls would rot out from air pollution, or whatever LONG before I could wear the tread out... NEVER got a puncture - they actually reject stuff like broken glass so forcefully to the side that it's alarming. On the fat side for sure, yet rolling resistance is nil you'll be coasting on these long after the knobbly guys are peddling their legs off, and they are effectively silent no more deafening 'pick-up truck' racket. Can't imagine a better city tire for a MTB, and they go well enough off road for occasional excursions - an excellent trade-off in my book. I'll never buy anything else as long as they keep making these, and will forever go out of my way if need be to find them.

I've been running the 26x2.1 tires on my cargo bike all summer and have been very happy with them. I like the larger air volume and smoother tread on this tire and have not had a flat yet either.

These would be great street ties except for the fact that the side walls rip out after about 600 miles

I've been riding these tires (the 1.9) for several months now on an old mountain bike setup for commuting/errands/etc. They're large enough to run low pressure which makes the less-than-ideal streets of Portland's outer Eastside a little smoother. Plus, lower pressure means less chance of flats! They're pretty tough without being overly heavy. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for 26 road-oriented tires. I'd tour, commute, or take casual rides on them any day. The price is good too!

easy rolling yet decent grip in wetdirt. good value. will see how many miles they provide.
