A City Tire You Can Rely On
The Continental Ride City 700c Tire is the perfect option for anyone who needs to get around town and can't be bothered to worry about a flat or slipping around a wet corner. The Continental Ride City does exactly what the name suggests — it rides really well in the city.
With its reflective sidewall strip and ExtraPuncture Belt, the Ride City has exceptional safety features. The reflective strip helps riders be seen by motorists during low light times of the day. The ExtraPuncture Belt, combined with the rubber-reinforced sidewalls of the tire, ensures a high level of puncture protection and sidewall abrasion.
The tread pattern rolls fast, yet grips around corners with the deep sidewall siping. Continental states that this tire is suitable for tarmac and gravel paths due to its excellent traction.
Features
- Reliable tires for town and city bicycles and also suitable for touring bikes
- Remarkable traction from the tire's large contact patch with the ground and tread siping
- ExtraPuncture Belt provides puncture protection and tire reliability
- Reflective sidewall for maximum visibility in low light
- Clincher Wirebead

Reviews
I bought the 700 x 37 mm for a Trek Dual Sport that I use as my daily rider and commuter. I feel that these tires are a huge upgrade for me over the 700 x 40mm Bontrager GR1 Expert tires that came with the bike. I ride paths, sidewalks, hardpack trails, and a little bit of single track. These tires handle it all beautifully, rain or shine. They roll smoothly and quietly, with plenty of confidence across surfaces.
The puncture protection is amazing. I've racked up over 300 miles and not a single puncture. For reference, the GR1s had 6 punctures in 230 miles, on the same routes.
Given all this, and the price ($36 ea. when I purchased them 06/2024), I feel comfortable recommending these tires for anyone looking for puncture resistant tires for mostly paved routes. Rain or shine, they provide a great ride.
One negative note: on dry, dusty hardpack or gravel, they don't offer the most cornering grip, so don't expect miracles. However, if your ride does venture off the pavement, these tires can handle it with a modicum of caution from the rider.
I have set up two hybrid bikes with these tires, and in 700x37 size, they are delightful. The comfort level is a major improvement over the original equipment tires, and they are quiet, smooth rolling, and grippy. I have Contis on most of my road bikes and find them quite durable, so I would expect the same from these, and the flat protection belt is an added bonus here in Arizona.
I purchased these tires for my wife's commuter bike and they have been great ! I won't say the "F" word because I don't want to "jinx" her, but she has been riding these for many tough New York City miles and hasn't had one yet... Highly recommended !
