Best all rounder

I race all types of road races and train 8-12 hrs a week. This is a great tyre for training and racing. Its light weight, durable, and fast rolling.

Great riding tire.

My new Canyon came mounted with these tires, in the 28 width. I run them at 100 psi. , on DT Swiss wheels. Even more comfortable than my Mavic 25s on Ksyrium SLS rims. Ive had one puncture since I started riding the Continentals, maybe at 2000 miles. I did have a very hard time getting the tire off the rim. Vittorias and Mavics are much easier.

There are 2 little wear indicators on these tires. Looks like the rear will last the whole miles. I bought 4 when they were on sale, so Im committed.

Thank you for your feedback.

I purchased sets of 25 and 28mm, cutting the side wall of each set on the rear within 250 miles, disappointed.

I both race and do long distance Randonneuring, so I purchased the 25mm to race and 28mm for the long distance rices. In the past I've had great success with Continental tires. Unfortunately not with these tires, cutting the side wall of the rear tires of each set within 250 miles of use - disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback.

A great tire.

These are by far the best road tires I've ever ridden. The roads in my area are riddled with debris as a result of all the rain we've had here on the east coast so having tires with extra puncture protection is a must. I realize no tire is completely impervious, but these up your chances of not having a flat.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire for training but reflective stripe was flawed

I ride early mornings so reflective stripe made sense. After about 100 miles I noticed a half inch separation which I reattached with glue. No problems otherwise.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best road tires for my needs

These are tough, flats occur like anything else but tend to be very few and far between. They are very hard to mount at first because of stiffness but it gets easier after some use. They are also comfortable on a long distance ride. My only other qualm is after about 2,500 miles or so, they tend to shed some threads fairly regularly though its probably about time to replace them by then.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best road tire I have used

Ive tried about all the top rated road tires, and I always come back to the Continental Grand Prix 4000

Ive rode over 40,000 miles in the last 10 years , so its given me a chance to try a lot of tires and the

continental is the best. Now I dont even look at any other tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

My go to tire for commuting, training, racing.

No flats until the tire is worn out. Mich Pro corners a little better but the GP 4000S is not far behind.

Switched from 25mm to 28mm and very happy about it. - they are wider than 28 on my rims

Switched from 25mm to 28mm and very happy about it. Run them at 80 pressure and get a much gentler ride over broken up concrete roads.

Be warned, on wide HED Belgium rims, these tires measure 31mm in width (using a caliper).

These are my go to tire.

I've been riding on these tires for the past 15k miles or so. I've had maybe 2-3 flats in all those miles. I ride mostly on county tar & chip seal roads. I've always used size 700x25 but went up to 700x28 the last set. I decreased my tire pressure from about 100 to 90psi. They seem to be more comfortable with little speed difference. Get these tires when on sale, you'll be happy.

Thank you for your feedback.

A great all around tire!

The 4000s is fast and I have found it durable enough for my year round riding. I have been putting about 120 mike a week on them and run my 28mm at about 85lbs. Love these tires!

Excellent Road Tires

Excellent road tires as they grip on wet pavement and are resistant to the occasionally broken beer bottles people leave behind. They are also resistant to the kiawe (Hawaiian Mesquite) thorns strewn all over the islands.

Love these tires! They grip the road, and did not flat the entitre year!

I ride 5-6k miles a year, commuting and club rides. these tires perform very well giving me confidence in descents and cornering. I replaced the rear tire, after a year of riding, as it was getting a bit squared, and the annual Seattle to Portland ride was coming up. I still have not experienced a flat with them.

Thank you for your feedback.

Smooth and Fast

The Continental GP 4000 S II is a smooth, fast tire. I use it on a Trek Domane for added cush on chip seal roads. The larger (28c) size provides a solid but smooth ride. I can't tell any difference in rolling resistance from the previous 25c tires used. I highly recommend this tire.
