Continental Grand Prix 4-Season Bicycle Tire (700×28, Black)
Continental 0100177 Grand Prix 4-Season 700X28 Black Tire provides you with even greater puncture resistance thanks to the Duraskin fabric. Light-weight racing tires are especially susceptible to damage on the sidewall. Because of this, each year many cyclists are forced to abandon events, for instance in the Paris-Roubaix race. The Duraskin fabric reinforces the sidewall without significantly adding to the weight of the tire. In 2004, cyclists equipped with Duraskin tires had 80 percent fewer flats than those riding on other makes. The compound has also been modified for all-year-round use. You’ll cover more kilometers on the Grand Prix 4-Season and won’t have to worry about the tire compound hardening and thus the grip performance decreasing. The 23mm, 25mm and 28mm versions also make it possible to select the right tire for various road qualities and comfort requirements. The Grand Prix 4-Season tires also feature Vectran Breaker protection. Vectran is a lightweight, highly abrasion-resistant multi-fibered layer that sits under the tread, and is five times stronger than steel. Specs: Weight – 250 grams; Recommended PSI – 95; Maximum PSI – 120; PU – 10.

The Best Balance of Grip/Puncture Resistance… For Realz Every six months or so, I am faced with a quandary: order another set of GP 4 Seasons or get something sexier? Vredstien. Challenge. Clemente. I’ve strayed only a few times, but for training tires, there are non-better. Sure, the Challenge Paris-Roubaix and Stradas are grippier and a wee bit more supple (but we’re talking about clinchers anyway so that’s a bit moot), but then I got a blowout on a pair of Paris-Roubaixs and went back.I am a 10-12,000 mile a year road/gravel/mtb…
Reliable Tire Not the lightest tire, nor one with low rolling resistance. But it resists punctures both tread and sidewall, a requirement with stones all over our roads that tore up a Rubino Pro, and wears well, 6000 miles on my first set, and over 5000 on the second set which I am still riding (I rotate them every 1000 miles or so). And much of my riding is over roads in very poor condition. Between them one maybe 2 flats. It is a great workout tire, probably not a racing tire. If they rolled a little…
