ContinentalUltra Sport II 27 Inch (Wire Bead)(Return to Product Page)

My tires size 27 in. for a daily commuter road bike. Seems like a good tire. However, as stated in other website reviews when full of air and installed the overall size of this tire increased almost to make contact with the bike frame and brakes caliper system. Make sure there is enough space for this in your bike. To install or remove the tire I need to remove all the air from the tire. There is about 18 in or less clearance between the tire and the calipers.

No problem with the tire, just the sizing. I had a pair of Continental Ultra Sport II 27 x 1 14 that I decided to switch out for a pair of 27 x 1 18 (the original size for my bike).

Waste of money since all 4 tires are exactly the same size at 90 psi measured with a digital caliper.

This is a very grippy compound that is treadless (slicks) at the center contact patch. My experience with the product is limited to dry asphalt, where they are quiet and precise. I have gotten comments from folks thinking the tires were worn out and bald because of the lack of center tread.

I'd say the best choice in an affordable training tire...

And the prices here are the lowest.

I put them on Vintage Schwinn 12 speeds from the 80's, take to 115psi and ride them hard and fast

Ive bought several of these tires and have had great success with them. Nice ride, hold up well. A little more difficult to get on the rim but not bad.

Smooth ride even on rough country roads

I needed a tire for my 70's era Centurion road bike. This 27 14 tire is sturdy, supple and fast, love it so far.

These tires are great. High quality and wear well. The 27 x 1 18 is a bit wider than expected and fits more like a 27 1 14. Very good deal for the price!

One of the tried and true best everyday road tires out there.

At a stellar price. Thanks Western!!
