I have been riding the Conti GP 4 Season tires, 28 mm, for several years now and will not consider anything else, they are that good. As a Randonneur riding events ranging from 100k to 1000k long on the pot hole ridden ways of the north east and one who is hard on equipment these tires have never let me down.

Continental tires are always solid tires but I found the Gators to be hard to fit on my wheels. The GP4 with Vectran provide great puncture resistance and are much easier to install. A bit more expensive but worth the price.

I bought the 700x28 sized tires for my Specialized Tarmac. Definitely a solid upgrade for me, the previous versions were 700x23. I'm definitely liking the larger tire, with less PSI. Makes for a smooth ride!

I reviewed these tires several years ago, and still love them. Ive used them on my road bike and on my wifes, using 23s,25s and 28s for various applications. When the 28s first came out, I think continental lacked the courage of their convictions, and the 28s seemed very close in size to the 25s. I just replaced my 28 front tire with a newly ordered 28. The new one has about a 2mm higher profile than the one it replaced, and is about one mm wider. Now that wider tires are in vogue, it looks like Continental is going with the fashion and making the 28s truer to size. It may be a problem if youre fitting it to a bike with very tight tire clearances.

Smooth ride and nice grip. One descent on wet roads. Very comfortable.

Flatted on my second ride. Granted, my commute is 24 miles RT in Denver over rocksbroken glassrock saltyou name it. I'd definitely run over stuff that I was certain would cause a flat and didn't, but on a normal ride I got home and found my tire flat the next morning.
YMMV

I got 15 bikes and tried most of the tires.
These are far the best All around tire ever.
One time l was descending and a motorcycle just accelerated really loud next to me and thought ke struck me. Bike wiggled big-time to the point where it so stewards and l was was just waiting for it to skid. But surprisingly it didn't and l was able to pick it up. Descending about more than 35mph. These tires are really amazing and won't settle for anything else.

These 32mm tires are just like the 25mm and 28mm versions in looks and construction. Unlike the 28mm version, they run very true to size.

Love this Tire rides So Smooth on Road. I Ride Between 60 and 80 Psi and I do a Lot of City riding with Lots of Trash on side of Roads. Running less Air helps a lot for Riding Comfort and That's what I Love about these Tires. Haven't had a Flat Yet even with running low Air Pressure. Tire has a Lot of Support also.

Excellent deal on these great tires. Seem to be a much better ride than the skins they replaced although those are a very good tire too.
Review by Merlin
This has become my tire of choice for year round use. Yes, the Conti 4000 may be marginally faster but Im not racing. The Gatorskin ride is very poor in my opinion which is a huge limitation.
So an excellent wearing, very flat resistant, good feeling tire describes this model perfectly. Occasionally after some rain rides, Ill inspect the tire for imbedded glass. Inevitably I find some but apparently the Vectran has done its job. Ill pick the pieces out, put a spot of superglue in the hole and forget about it.
In short I love this tire!

This tire is pricey. But with 430 TPI, puncture protection, and relatively light weight, there really isn't another tire like it on the market. I roll with it on both my road bikes year-around. And I only buy it when it's on sale.
Review by IL-AZ
I ride 4000 road miles plus a few MTB miles annually. As a mature but still aggressive rider (70), I appreciate a tire with good durability and performance characteristics. This is a great tire for dependable training and non-race events. Light enough to be an efficient road tire, but tough enough to ride through occasional gravel sections. Very durable and puncture resistant, even in Arizona.

Super tough tires. Have held up really well this winter. Mainly used for commuting.

Rolls easy. Grips. Tough. Reasonably long-lasting.

so far, went very far without a depressing sidewall! I'd roll the dice & roll these on the road a second chance with no flip flop flop flopping worries.
