Fast, comfortable, predictable handling, good puncture resistance.

Using a 25c in back and a 23c up front. Love the ride of the 25c. Overall performance is great. No complaints.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fantastic tires

These tires have been on my bike for 2000 miles and are still going. I have had one flat and they roll super fast, best tires I have owned.

Thank you for your feedback.

Wonderful tire, with good puncture resistance and smooth roll.

Handles cornering better than the other puncture resistant tires I had been using x4 years. Good value, although it seems to me that all tires are a bit overpriced. Better appearance than the last set of tires I used, with rust colored sidewalls.

Thank you for your feedback.

Not as good as advertised

I haven't had near the success with these tires that others have. I bought 700x25c's and have experienced a much higher than typical number of flats. The tires seem prone to cuts. My rear tire is shot with less than 1000 miles.

Thank you for your feedback.

All Around Best

I've ridden road bikes for years - all over the USA and Canada. I've been through all the tires. This one suits me best. Best feel. Best all around wear history. Easy of removal and replacement. I like the high TPI count and I think it makes a difference. Great all purpose tire - touring, city, hard pack.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire. Super Sticky, Super Fast

These tires were recommended to me by multiple people and I must say, I guess the Chili compound is the difference. They are super light, super fast and super durable. They've been great for the first 1000 miles, no flats and less ware than I anticipated.

Reasonably priced, great tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nice improvement over Gatorskins

I'm a long-time user of Gatorskins and a friend suggested I try these instead. I have to say I was really surprised just how much better one tire could seem compared to a very similar one. Much more comfortable ride, and rolls noticeably better due to less chatter on the road. I've had one slow-leak flat in 1000 miles from a sharp piece of wire, but that would have gotten any tire. I've also read others complaining of sidewall failures, but I suspect they're maxing out the pressure (or more) ignorantly assuming that will make them faster. I'm 185 lbs. and ride these at 90psi front and 110psi rear and I can't imagine making them harder and harsher could provide any benefit - more likely the opposite.

Thank you for your feedback.

Decent performer but not thrilled by the price performance

I commute daily through NYC so I am a little tough on my tires but a good amount of riding is loops around central park. After about 2500 miles (220lbs so I may wear quicker than others) I can see the tire has reached the end of its life coupled with 3 flats in two weeks. The dry grip is decent. Wet grip is average. May come back to if on sale but not thinking they are worth the full price

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent ride

Bought the 400 S II on reviews from the web and haven't been disappointed at all.

Roll well and the ride is good also. I weigh over 200 pound and so far the tires are wearing well. No flats in about 800 miles. Will but again, great tires. Put on a set for a friend.

Thank you for your feedback.

Continental does it again

These tires are great. Just like my last contis. They have held up very well so far on the rough roads of Wisconsin. I've got about 300 miles on these and they barley show any wear. The only issue is the reflective tape on the sidewall is coming off in spots. It's not painted on, it's tape and I had hoped it would stay on longer.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very Nice Race/training Tire!

This is my fourth favorite tire after Vittoria Open Corsa, Schwalbe Ultremo V-GuardOne, and Vredestein FTC's. I have ridden all the top end tires made to date, and feel they are all very nice tires with small diffences that set them apart. Continental as always has the longest wearing tread life of all of them, which would be nice, but as of yet I have never been able to see that life as the sidewalls always fail before I make it that far. The only other minor complaint(taken with a grain of salt) is that compared to the other tires listed conti 4000s series tires have a slightly stiffer ride, but not bad whatsoever. No tire is perfect but these are my experiences thus far.

Thank you for your feedback.

Easy rolling

Durable and easy rolling. Lots of miles don't seem to bother these tires. Not many flats either

Grippy.

Don't have too many miles on these yet, but they feel pretty grippy, and so far no cuts from over 100 miles of urban riding. I prefer these to the Rubino Pros I was riding previously, but take that with a grain of salt I'm not the most discerning rider.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable and Grippy

They have the grip I want with the durability I need for commuting. I did have some flats after the first 1k miles but that was due to me not spending the time to dig out the glass they picked up which eventually made its way through to create holes. As long as you clean out one a week or so they give me the durability gator skins gave me with much better grip

Thank you for your feedback.

Awesome tires

Have had these for about 2 months. Tires have great grip and roll smooth. Combine that with the green side walls and these make my bike look great too.

Runs larger than 25

Great tire, rides nice and wears good (for a high performance tire) . But this latest version is slightly bigger and does not fit my aero frame - last years model fit just fine so they must be made slightly larger for some reason? Otherwise nice tire....

BikeTiresDirect.com Comments

Hi,

Sorry to hear this tire didn't quite fit! Please get in touch with our customer service department at [email protected] if you'd like to arrange a return -- or maybe an exchange for 23's?

Thanks,
Stacia

Very stable at high speed. However, not as fast as Vittorias Corsas

I haven't ridden these tires long. They feel very stable and comfortable. It's important to note that these tires are 25s and my last set of Vittorias are 23s.

Thank you for your feedback.

Same great tire (allegedly improved)

These are great tires. I used to run Gatorskins. While Gatorskins are very puncture-resistant, they're not puncture-proof. Nonetheless, they're probably the best tire around for avoiding flats. I've also had pretty good luck with the GP's. Although they're not as tough as the Gatorskins (I've heard that they offer less sidewall protection), they've been a good tire for me. They're more expensive than the Gatorskins... and I feel that the weight savings is a good trade-off. I'm not a weight weenie, but you absolutely want to minimize your rotational mass - makes everything better.

Thank you for your feedback.

Rolls great and very durable bike tire

This is the best Continental tire that I have ridden to date. The tire has extremely good grip and is very puncture resistant. I ride anywhere from 150 to 200 miles a week since I am a roadie and these tires work great.
