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

Price and everything else is right!

Hard to install at first, but once it's there...WOW! Just WOW! Love them!!!

Ordered product and received in a couple of days as advertised. Continental Grand Prix 4-Seasons are a great road for all weather conditions. This is my second set of tires. First set got over 2500 miles on them before getting my

first flat and that was just a stroke of bad luck running over some broken glass. Highly recommend these tires. They cost a little more ....but are well worth it.

I ride about 20 miles round trip, from deep in Brooklyn to Manhattan 5 days a weekMaybe it's because i was riding on Armadillos before, but i love these tires so far. I have only ridden about 200 miles so far, so i can't comment on how long they'll last but here's what i do know

1. they grip in all conditions - dry crud, slick light rainy streets after a dry period, and torrential downpours. my armadillos felt unsafe and i worried about taking corners too fast, i don't worry at all with these

2. they're soft, comfortable, but i don't feel much resistance (i use 25's at 110psi in the back and 100psi up front)

3. in two weeks the armadillos punctured 3 times. because they're so hard, they seem to hold onto little bits of glass, it gets rolled in, and eventually gets through. no problems with these and NYC is not what i would call clean or smooth.

4. my average mph has increased from about 14 mph to 15mph per ride

5. climbing is easier (they feel light to me) and i don't lose speed from resistance going downhill.

i got them at a discount, but i will be buying these again, full price or not.

I put a 25mm GP 4-Season on my back wheel every Fall. For almost daily rides in Portland's West Hills, (3040 miles, 4000ft climbingdescending), these are the best balance of wet handling and durability I know. They are a bit pricey, but last as long as Gatorskins and feel a lot better.

A good performing tire for all around road riding. Not the fastest tire out there, but if you're not a racer and do a lot of mileage, I can't think of anything better. Sure footed in the wet and not easy to flat, which saves a lot of hassle. I ran hardshells for a while, but they are decidedly slower and less nimble and I'm not sure they're really tougher. Consider running 25's if you are a big guy, as the rolling resistance is actually better and the weight difference small.

Use the tire on a cross bike and it provides three season protection training on dirt roads (28mm). Without the knob hum of cross tires, square wear and the squirmy corners on tarmac. Speeds and spin up is respectable for the weight and durability aka mileage. If you can find them on sale they are a great buy, if not a little pricey. Ride safe.

Likes: Fast, light, strong, excellent cornering, excellent traction in all weather conditions, supple road feel and smooth riding at any pressure from 80 psi on up, durable, you can't hardly find thorns strong enough to flat this tire. Worry-rocks are about the only threat.

Dislikes: About average as far as ease of mounting, but not difficult with the right thumb pressure. Be sure you don't pinch the tube between the tire and the rim when mounting, visually inspect all the way around the rim both sides to make sure your tube is inside the casing before putting the air to it.
