Continental

Bought these tire for bike packing, used them on my lightweight, hard-tail, E Bike, they roll fast. I got the 2" as Amtrak requires that size or less for their onboard rack. I used them on the Erie canal trail(about 380 miles of mostly gravel and some road). Rear tire was almost completely worn down by the time I got home. I feel like it should have lasted longer. Have them on my analog mountain bike and have done multiple long trails with them, and the tread is still beefy. Not sure if that one was just from a bad batch? have no problem with front (still plenty of tread). Other than that, overall i like the characteristics of these tires.

This is the best overall road racing clincher I have ever used. If it were tubeless ready it would be nearly perfect. Very low rolling resistance, supple, long wearing durabilty, puncture resistance and good grip. What more could you ask for in a road racing tire besides tubeless ready? The price is a little steep. But so is everything else. Especially in the cycling industry. Because nearly everything is imported. And the American produced products are just high for other reasons.

The tires are really good, but quite expensive. I wished I had configured it to be run-flat, however, rather than using tubes. I've gotten pinch flat and my wheel was a big hassle to change the tube (punctured it at the site) that I had to call my wife to take me home. I punctured a tube again at home trying to replace it so I decided to take it to REI for a new tube and liner, and they even struggle to put back the tire. It's my wheel, not the tire, however.

Wife and I have been running these tires on our commuter bikes for 12 or more years. Its a great tire with good puncture protection. You can safely run these on gravel or dirt for those more adventurous rides.
