Excellent tire for road biking

I've been riding on a paved bike path, and occasionally on fine gravel. These tires have been great for this type of biking. They take about 80 psi and roll very well.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great long lasting tire

I use my old Centurion road bike for exercise mostly on paved roads, some dirt. Have over 3500 miles on this set of tires, never had a flat. I'll get at least another 500 miles, then I'll buy another set. Excellent tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

cotinental bike tyre size is 27x1 114

I just bought 2 month ago used one so the tires are now out of use so that is why now I need new tires.

Decent, but Narrow

So far the only issue I've found is that you feel the center strip catch a bit if you bump over a road groove. They corner fine, & give a good ride feel overall. They're a bit more narrow then I'd hoped, but about what I expected. They measure at 30mm on a fairly wide rim. If there's been a 27 x 1 3/8 in this I'd have gone with that.

Thank you for your feedback.

easy rolling and long lasting

I have over 2,000 miles on them and I'm still using them on my tour of the Upper peninsula. Having caused no problems I rarely give them a second thought; that is until Bike Direct asked me to review their project. You can't go wrong with Continentals.

Thank you for your feedback.

great tires

I bought these to put on my vintage road bike - wanted something affordable that could handle city streets full of potholes and rough pavement. These tires have been great so far, I'm really happy with them, especially for the price.

Thank you for your feedback.

Still pretty fast...

May not be as fast as a racing slick, but it's still quick. The tread adds a nice grip in the rain and dirt, but it's not a full on gravel tire. Easy to install, and they're pretty durable and flat resistant.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good tire but very hard to mount on the rim.

Manufacturer probably saved a few pennies by making the tire a few millimeters too small. Very hard to mount on the rim! Otherwise a good tire for touring as it has plenty of tread.

Thank you for your feedback.

wouldn't hesitate to take these out for x-country tour on my old '77 mercian!

in 77 I built up a mercian for everydaytour - built the campy hubweinmann rimdt spoked wheels on a 27' platform. why? because back then, if you had to, you could get 27 tires everywhere - even in rural general stores. today the pickings are getting slim. if you live in a retirement center or gated community - the kenda tires will work. if you ride out on back roads where there may be a lot of debris - go with something a bit tougher - if you don't want to walk!! it would be a toss up between these and the Schwalbe tires - both are at the top of the field of what is available these days.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good Quality Tire

Good quality tire. The tire tread is really good for gripping and it appears to be of good quality. It was a little difficult to get on wheel. However, I recommend the tire. I bought Kenda 27 tubes with this 27x1 14 tire and was very disappointed with the tubes. One of the Kenda tubes would not hold air upon installation and they are also more like 28 or larger tubes. They are larger than advertised. The Continental Ride Tour tire is really good. However, stay away from Kenda products. I would rate the Kenda tube a 0 from a scale of 1 to 5 stars. I did a 1 star review of the Kenda tubes and it never showed up in the reviews. Wonder why!

Thank you for your feedback.

Real grip

I commute all year around on my bike and I got these tires just in time for the snow. I am very pleasantly surprized by how well these tires handle slippery conditions and they cut through snow very well. Plenty of traction even in this granulated snow we're getting, It compacts to ice in the sun.

Thank you for your feedback.

I ride on crappy surfaces, road shoulders, gravel, dirt, etc and these tires can hold up to the occasional off road conditions.
