Continental

I bought a used road bike and it needed new tires so I put these on . I've got 900 miles even on them today and they don't look worn at all and no flats so far . These are the best tires I've ever had on any bike !

Excellent tires!! Used these tires for a 500+ mile ride (100+ miles per day) five day ride from Memphis, TN to Rosemary Beach,, FL. Great tire for rough/light gravel, pot holes, cobblestone, back country and chip/seal logging roads. Also, the tires were silky smooth and very fast on freshly paved roads too. Might keep these on for the upcoming 2027 race season... Unless they change the construction or something significantly better comes out, I can't imagine using any other endurance type tires on my road bikes. Paired with TPU tubes and ENVE 6.7 (hookless) wheels was a great choice and combination. Will definitely ride these throughout the winter and spring...

I've been riding Conti GP5000 S TR's for roughly 5yrs and have never been disappointed. I was a GP4000 user before then. Rolling resistance on the 5000's is even better! Knock on wood I've been puncture free for several thousand miles. I typically don't ride in the rain, so I don't know about cornering grip in the wet. But if it's anything like in the dry, you won't be disappointed. These tires grab a line through the corner and hold onto it. I typically get 3000 to 3500 miles before the wear indicator says it's time for a replacement. Due to weak hand strength, I leave mounting to my LBS, so I can't speak to that. I use the 28mm on Giant and Cadex hookless rims without issue. Definitely not an inexpensive tire, but they are often on sale at BTD and well worth the price no matter the amount of the discount.

Had been running Vitoria Corsa Pro Speed on my TT bike for a couple of years. They felt great but wore out literally after a couple hundred miles. I opted to try the Contis hoping for more durability. Figured they must still be fast as many of the pros were running them. Happy to say that they made through a season of racing with minimal wear. Should be good for another at least. Although BicycleRollingResistance.com rated these fractionally slower in the lab than the Corsas, it wasn't enough to be a deal breaker.
