ContinentalUltra Sport II (Folding)(Return to Product Page)

Corners well, no punctures in 3months

I'm tired of buying expensive tires with that wear out quickly and get flats. These are always more durable.

I have 4 bikes and use these on all of them. They are affordable, reliable and long lasting.

Measured a brand new Super Sport II foldable on balance beam scale. Actual weight was 327 grams. Expect a little nominal variation, but this quite far from the 280 grams listed on on Bike Tires Direct website - a 47 gram difference per tire.

Very nice ride and very high value, but exceptionally tight bead. So tight that there simply was not enough room to tuck my inner tube out of the way of being pinched at the end of the mount, which MUST be done with tire irons. I'm using pretty expensive latex tubes, so it felt risky. Very thankful I didn't rip the tube. A roadside tube change might be a little risky in that regard.

Perhaps the bead loosens up with repeated stretching.

so these tires grip well, wear well, which is the only reason they don't get a worse review, however... they are stiff as a board to get on and off the rim. Changing a tube if you get a flat is such a pain. My new Gator Hardshell tires are so much easier to get on and off. I know this because I mounted one with the rotation direction going the wrong way, and it only took me a few more minutes to switch it back.

A joy to ride on these tires.

These tires roll really nice and relatively fast for a 28c. I have 500 miles on them and they are showing minimal wear. I will definitely be looking at these again when I need to replace the current ones.

Some find Conti's hard to install, but I've always found them easy if I take my time.

These tires have a low rolling resistant, which is comparable or better than some very spendy tires. I have a twenty year old set of the same tires on my old bike, they are not cracked and still work fine. The cost and performance make this an excellent tire
