I was looking for a tire to replace the original set on our ebike.
These tires were reasonably priced, easy to mount and so far have proven both safe and comfortable to ride in wet and dry conditions, I am very happy with this purchase.

I've put these tires on all of our bikes that we use for around town, bad weather, or winter riding. They have a nice high centerline for low rolling resistance, and some more tread for turning. Not much noise or sing on the road either. Pay attention to the tread direction when mounting them. Doing this task twice stinks.
Review by Olentangy Rider
I bought of pair of these tires for my Cannondale Quick hybrid in 32mm because I wanted a wider tire - I had been using 28mm tires with the inside rim width of only 14mm - with tread pattern for both on and off-street/trail riding, and I wanted a wider tire than the 28mm I had been riding. Initially I mounted the tires on both the front and back. After several rides on street and trail I was not happy with the tire mounted on the front strictly due to turns and cornering. Overall the tires are very low rolling resistance. IMO the rolling resistance is lower than the Continental Contact 28mm tire I've ridden for 9 years. So I switched out the front tire to a Conti Contact 32mm tire from the Conti Ride Tour. I love the combo. The Contact tire on front is secure and predictable in turns while the Ride Tour on the rear gives me added traction on any road surface.

The tire looks good quality rides well and is the best price I found online.

I am very pleased with Continental's Tour Ride tires on my bike. They roll with minimal resistance on pavement while also providing decent cornering capability. The ribbed tread is adequate for riding rail trails with sand/gravel base or similar unpaved terrain. The design of the lay-up helps minimize potential punctures without having to add a supplemental liner. Treadwear appears to be better than other comparably priced tires I have used in the past.

Great smooth ride on hardball and good grip on local RR trails. Will do again when these wear out currently have about 600 on them and no signs of wear yet
Review by Andy
Use on ebike mostly for road training, with some rails to trails gravel, hardpack riding as well.

I am a daily exercise cyclist on small town streets. The tread on these tires is heavy enough to hang onto rough streets and sidewalks and to maintain traction in turns.
The tread is thick enough to get me over the occasional broken glass without incident.
This is a strong street tire in a narrow width, so I don't have to sacrifice speed while using a safe tire.

Love these tires they�re just the right width and style for my Crosscurrent S2 E bike
(700c x 47). Light with good performance.
Review by Kev2wheels
When I used to race all I used were Continental Grand Prix tires, so when I stepped into the recent gravel craze the Ride Tours looked like a good compromise for a commutesingle-track tire. I like the center ridge for racking up the miles and the traction is decent overall. I was able to squeeze a set onto my old Bianchi, so I am running these on 4 bikes from 33s up to 47s. Great value IMO.

Have been using this tire 3 years in a row on two bikes putting about 2500 miles on them each year with only one flat so far! This is the best multi-purpose road we've found!
Review by Andy K
Bought these for my son's commuter after he had a sidewall failure on another tire. These tires have been great commuter tires for me. I have had trouble with slick's and semi slicks with getting glass and even just sharp stones embedded in them and working their way through even Kevlar to puncture a tube. The amount of tread on these doesn't seem to add a lot of weight and has so far prevented that type of flats... The size 32c is the ideal size for the mean Streets of CLE. Conti has been making these for quite some time now. When I wear out a rear tire, I just order one from biketiresdirect.
Review by Daniel

Review by Cheryl
I love these tires they have great traction they're very durable and it's a very smooth ride I highly recommend this brand and this tire. I put them on my hybrid bike for Street and mild off-roading and they are providing exactly what I need.
Review by Busdriver
I have put 100 miles on these tires and cannot stand to ride them another mile. They are heavy, slow to get up to speed and extremely unstable. I have the 700 x 32s and they feel like they have about one quarter of an inch of tread on the pavement. They are cheap...but don't waste your money.
Review by Jim from Taft
These are the best tires to date. I live in a desert town in california with a lot of tumbleweeds they shed what we call Goat Heads. Theyre a tires worst nightmare and ive gone through a lot of tubes. I am yet to have one pierce my tire since installing these. Very pleased. Quality tires. A little narrow for loose sand exploration but fantastic for road and dirt. Highly recommend. Great price too.
Review by Slappy

Ive been running these for a while and couldn't be happier..
I did get one flat after a splintered piece of wood pierced through both the tire and a tube protector liner..
