ContinentalSuperSport Plus(Return to Product Page)

I've bought this tire for a friend that isn't well versed in bike parts in general. She just wanted a good value, reliable, replacement tire. There are many to choose from and the array of choices can be overwhelming. I've used many brands (Vittoria, Michelin, and Hutchinson, all good) but one stands out. That is Continental. I've had incredible luck with their tires (2 flats in 4 years, 10k miles). The SuperSport Plus lasted 2k miles on my wife's bike with no flats. They're a little heavy, a little hard, but a great value for the price and for those expecting a no nonsense tire, so I didn't hesitate buying one for my casual riding friend looking for a good value.

My favorite though is the GP5000/4000, What a tire! Supple, serious traction, lightweight, great price and great mileage.

Not much to say, I've only put about 15 miles in the new tire, but so far, it's good!

I average one hundred miles per week once the snow is gone and I hate flatting. I ride in Maine and some roads are rough in Spring with left over frost heaves, cracks and chunks of pavement missing from plow activity...While these may not be race tires they are plenty fast. More importantly, they are rugged and will last....

Tire seems sturdy if rather stiff. It's OK so far but .... WOW Hardest tire to mount I've ever bought. I typically carry just one tire iron on rides but with this tire you'd better have two or be prepared to walk. Hope it's as flat proof as they claim because fixing a flat on the road will be a challenge.

Easy to mount although others complained. WIRE beads, they are a tough tire. mounted with bare hands, no tools. When dismounting you will need a tire tool. These tires have stood up to uneven brick streets, limestone both large and small, rough sidewalks in town and surprisingly broken glass with NO problems. No flats and No leaks (Continental Race Road Tubes). I am retired and ride every day weather permitting, which has been every day but one since purchasing them. have been on my road bike only one week bit have ridden just over 250 miles. Repeating myself, no leaks and no flats. one more note if you like 23c tires try the 28c and you will get a little better ride. 100 psi and my weight is 229 lbs.

I bought it for my daughter she uses it for city riding and loves the toughness of the tire. Personally I think it's one of the hardest tires I've ever had to put on the rim.

Have only put on a few miles so far. Hardest tire I've ever had to put on. I went to bike shop to get new levers because I broke 3 trying to get it on. I had brought the tire and rim with me and they tried putting it on. They did it but pinched one tube and fought like hell as well.

As others have said, these tires are a tank. Very thick, gonna take a lot to puncture. Also need tire levers to put them ON. Hope I never get a flat out on a ride, I'll have to call AAA. Having said that, I feel quite confident riding these tires. I don't worry about getting a flat with these. I just go!

Bought these for my sons road bike, the first time we rode across Kansas. The year before he had 13 flats in 475 miles. That year, he had none, even with the goat heads, shredded retreads, and glass, not a single flat. This year we rode 555 miles across Kansas on the SAME TIRES! Not a single flat, even had great grip in the rain. Have put 1300 miles on these and they are still going....the next set will be these. Good low roll resistance, great durability!

Top notch flat protection, although Very heavy. However they roll very well on flats and down hills, good stability and confident feel in cornering. Slow and sluggish on climbs, and or headwinds. like pulling a sled.

Best for commuters or anyone interested in flat protection, with some performance values.

I ride to work everyday that i can. Recently switched out a pair of 2 year old Continental Sport Contacts, that were in 28 cm. Just like to say great tire 2 years 2 flats on the back tube not tire related the tire is a tank nothing ever penetrated the tire. But i was looking for a little more speed and the Continental Super Sport Plus fills the order, i got it in 25 cm. And i most say climbing the hills of Kansas City Mo. Has got a lot easier now if they are as tough as the Continental Sport Contacts they will probably be the my tire of choice, this was helpful. My bike a hybrid Dawes Eclipse 3.0.

Negative-Tire was hard to put on rim. Positive- Extremely happy with tire performance.

Slightly better size allows for more comfort while riding.

Extremely happy with the tire.

I bought this tire for my 7 mile commute (one way). Has been reliable, no flats and slightly wider size helps with ride quality. Has a little more drag at start up from me previous 23-25mm wide tires. Ride quality improvement plus more road protection was a great trade off in my case. Keep 'em pumped up and ride!

I was looking for a durable tire for my night rides. Because of my work schedule most of my rides each week occur at night. I have great lighting, but even with that you tend to ride over things at night that you wouldn't during the day. There's nothing worse than getting a flat at night. These tires are awesome. They perform well in all types of weather and I've felt and heard myself ride over stuff that if I'd have seen would have avoided. No flats! Great value from a quality name you can trust.

These tires were cheap and worked fine for training. Durability is about average and puncture protection is OK, which is a good thing because getting these suckers back on is an ordeal. I thought it was just me, but my father with some 35 years riding experience struggled when he tried replacing a flat with these. Probably lasted close to 2000 miles but won't be getting these again.

I was looking for a puncture resistant tire as I the area has lots of cactus needles. This tire has worked well.

Training and some competition.

I am a big man so I need a sturdy tyre as I ride mostly in NYC, Bronx, TD Bank 5 boros tour, this offer a great value as they rarely get flats, I pump them at maximum pressure, they work great. Last year I did over 2500 miles city rides and got at most 2 flats, slow leaks over night. Got a new pair on for this year tour on already.

These are used on a tandem. About 5,000 annual miles with few flats.
