Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Road Clincher, 700 x 28-Inch, Black
Technology from hell. Thanks to its DuraSkin anti-tear fabric, the grand prix 4-season holds up under extreme conditions. In the Paris – Roubaix race, the “hell of the north”, cyclists equipped with DuraSkin enhanced tires have the fewest tire related problems during the race. Incorporating our special wear resistant carbon compound, the tire is characterized by very good mileage performance as well as excellent adhesion on wet roads and at low temperatures. With the 23 mm, 25 mm and 28 mm versions, the grand prix 4-season makes it possible to select the right tire for various road qualities and comfort requirements. A double Vectran breaker belt under the tread raises the puncture and cut protection to the highest level available on the market.

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…
but FWIW these tires are great. I am a bit of a Continental snob … If you’re researching bike tires, you should probably go read some real reviews on bike-centric forums or websites rather than just Amazon reviews, but FWIW these tires are great. I am a bit of a Continental snob and therefore don’t ride anything else. These tires are handmade in Germany, as are all of Continental’s premium tires (they do have “budget” made-in-china tires) and I am more than happy to pay the extra money that they command.These tires have never made me feel…
