ContinentalGrand Prix 4-Season Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I used these tires on my steel frame road bike to ride across Bhutan in 2012. Despite the rough conditions, I never got a flat.

Ride about 2,000 miles per year and have used the GP 4-season for 15 years or so. I have had very few flats, probably less than one per year on average. Great traction and handling. Hard to beat this tire at the sale price.

I bought a set of these a couple of years ago for my road training bike. After over 3,000 miles, I've not experienced a flat. Rolling resistance is light, and they hold their grip very well, though they do get a bit sketchy in heavy rain.

I use this tire on road bike. I use it on asphalt surfaces 40 to 80 miles per week. Durable, low rolling resistance, flat free . Tread lasts for over 2000 miles. I am on my 4th or 5th set. I have not found a better road bike tire.

I love Continental tires but was disappointed with the quick wear and constant sidewall cuts I was getting on my 4000s tires. I decided to try the Grand Prix 4 season as a last chance with Continental. I do a LOT of riding and was tired of changing flats. since I switched to the Grand Prix 4 Season, I have not had a single flat. The tires wear like steel (i.e. long tread life!) and are tough. I ride in all conditions, year round in Colorado and regardless of the gravel and debris I encounter, these tires can take it!

Extreme durability, over 10,000 road miles on two different front tires, and usually about 4,000 miles from rear tires. Average about 3,000 miles between flats. And the weight is reasonable as well.

I commute to work and its a good all around tire I would have given it four stars. My only dislike would be the price the only time to buy these tires is when they are on sale.

Top notch tire. Did a spring classic with about 13 of the route on gravel and dirt roads and the tires held up through the whole route. Hit some serious ruts, bumps and potholes and the tire never quit. My buddy and I both rode these tires and neither of us had a problem.

Road cycling is what I live for. I need to have confidence under my bike to ride my best. These tires give me the confidence I need to smoke the competition even if its just me going for the latest KOM. Sure footed, puncture resistant and well fitted tire that will give you many trouble free miles.

Side wall blowout on a descent. Very dissatisfied. After only 50 miles, side wall separated and intertube bulges out and popped.

I don't give much credence to subjective individual reviews of tires because, well, they're subjective and one person's experience is largely statistically insignificant. I bought these because they measure well for puncture resistance in at least one testing website on the internet (google bicycle rolling resistance) and have acceptable rolling resistance numbers. There are other tires with better puncture resistance but their rolling resistance are higher, so this seems like a good compromise. I have no complaints about how they ride.

I use these tires on my off-season rain bike in Portland. Usually there is a lot of junk on the road during this time, so I need some beefier tires and these certainly are doing a good job so far. I only have about 500 miles on them so far, but no flats yet and no noticeable rips or tears. I got the 28 version and they look at least 28 on my rims when mounted, but I don't have a caliper so can't give an accurate number. I also run these at 8085 PSI and they feel great.

These have become my go-to tire the ugly months of off-season training in Portland. They do everything I could ask. They provide enough puncture protection, they have good grip on wet and messy roads, they have a long wear life, and with all these blue collar attributes, they manage to be reasonably lively and supple. These tires hold all the qualities we need during winter months in perfect balance.

The tires are really good tires when it comes down to the Vectran material.

Great fallwinter tire, no issues with punctures and I even kept my previous pair on over the summer. Not quite as responsive as GP 4000s but sufficient for almost every situation.

Only about 50 miles thus far due to limited riding since purchase around Thanksgiving. Looking forward to Spring riding. However the first 50 miles have been great handling and low rolling resistance

Tire wears well and provides superior puncture protection. Good value for the dollar.

Love this tire for its durability and performance.

My serious racer friend recommended these tires. I am not racing and I ride 50-100 mile rides. What a difference. Only one draw-back. I hope I will remember how to change a flat.

700x28 went 2500Km down the lenght of the Cascade Mountains on the front wheel without a single flat. The traction is truely amaizing. But most of all I tour with clip-on aero bars and the smoothness of the ride coming up through the fork even on chip and seal road was way better than any tire I have toured with. When ever the 700x32 4-Seasons come in I will be putting one on my rear touring wheel.

I have been commuting and day riding with the 700x25 4s and find it an outstanding tire in Portland's rain and slush.
