Tires performed well

The new 2017 GP4000 S II 25mm clinchers roll fast and comfortable (under 90PSI) on the poorly maintained roads of the Midsouth. They provide great grip and great mileage. I often change rear tire every 3k miles (6 moths) with no punctures. I stock them regularly when on sale at BTD. Don't waste your time and energy in buying from anywhere else.

My favorite tire. Good mix of road feel, rolling resistance and puncture protection.
Review by Ezbentrider
Good rolling resistance and traction plus a fast tire. My only issues is are the sidewalls get easily damaged and the tires is hard to install on aluminum rims.

I commute at night on my S-Works Tarmac and an thrilled to have tires I can do Masters races on each weekend, yet be highly visible on my night commutes! Great job Continental mixing a performance tire with a highly visible reflective sidewall!

Expensive, but great tire. Rolls very well and is very grippy.

I was a tried-and-true Grand Prix 4 seasons Tire user for over 10 years. But this summer I decided to put some 25 mm 4000s's on my zip 303 s for a summer trip up to Breckenridge Colorado. I was afraid I would experience more Flats. But I knew going from 23mm to 25mm width, Plus lighter weight, less tread, and using 10lbs. less tire pressure, would add up to less rolling resistance. Which would make my climbing over all the major passes much more enjoyable. And guess what,, it DID!
Even back here in Tucson on some of the chewed up, debris ridden roads, I don't think I've yet to change a flat on a ride.
Until proven otherwise, I'm totally sold on the 4000s. Especially when used on the 25mm width newer carbon fiber wider rims (Zipp,Enve). The ride feels extremely comfortable. Definitely worth trying.

What can you say, this tire continues to perform. I've been running these for about 4 years and they always hold up. They install super easy and offer amazing puncture resistance. Combined with the low rolling resistance, they make for a really great race tire and training tire. I even have one on the indoor trainer that has gone over 3000 miles with almost no wear, a little hardened though. Still, this tire was an outdoor tire first and then was put on the trainer is still going strong after at least a year of abuse. Bike Tires Direct always has the best price and that combined with their awesome service, you can't go wrong! Buy these tires!

I like the rolling resistance, very fast
However, when new they are a bit slick

The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II 700c Road Tire is the longest lasting road tire with the best puncture protection I have used. I have been using these tires for the last 6 years and I usually get 4 to 5 thousand miles on a set with rotating them every 1000 miles. I get the least amount of cuts then any other tire I have used in these tires.

Ridden this tire from April till October over 1000 miles. 220 lbs rider averaging 16 mph in hilly riding. Will switch frt to rear and add tire sealant to get another 500-1000 miles on the old ones. Then mounting the the ones I just bought for another 2000. Found running 100 lbs frt and rear for my climbing days and 85 frt90 rear for long days.

My loyalty to Continental GP4000S II continues because the company is providing a good product that they also seek to improve. I have enjoyed these tires for for many years. I continue to research other types but my personal experience keeps me choosing that which I trust.

Review by Chuck
I have settled on the GP4000sII as an excellent tradeoff between road control versus wear. On occasion you will find them in sale in the mid to high 30 dollar range which is an excellent value. Decent rolling resistance for racing but also very comfortable for touring. I get very few flats when running these with standard tubes.

I have bought several sets of these tires over the last 5 years. I have them on both of my road bikes as well as my spouses hybrid bike. They are outstanding performers and I have yet to be disappointed by them in any way. As long as I can catch them on sale at biketiresdirect.com, Ill keep buying them!
