Excellent tire! This is my winter training tire and both traction and puncture resistance are excellent. Out of roughly 3k miles over the winter, I average 1-2 flats, which is completely acceptable for me.
Nice ride, fast, and ideal for long daily commute in all weather (mostly wet) here in Seattle.
I use these tires on my road bike, a durable tire which I like, because the likelihood of this tire flatting is slim.
I have been riding on Continental Grand Prix 4 Season tires for years. I won't use anything else. They are worth the premium you pay. I have had very few flats. The tires last a long time. Good road grip.

Durable, reliable, good rolling Tire
Can't recommend these tires enough if you're looking for long-lasting puncture protection. I've been riding sets for years now and won't ride with anything else on my road bike.
great tough long lasting tires
We believe this tire gives us the best mileage of any tire we have used on our tandems. The handling and comfort of the tire exceeds the performance of other tires
I've been cheap over the years, low cost tires. Got these...wowie...now I see why riders buy top quality tires
Switched from GP 4000 and am getting way fewer flats. Not quite the same supple feel, but Ill ride these most days and be happier.
i use these for my winter bike, which is a fixed gear track bike, I ride over city streets in all conditions, including leaves, snow, sleet and rain. Certainly do recommend.
Been riding for past year. No flats and as fast as my Conti 4000s tires.
I wanted a tire for my cross bike that I could use off season on paved trail and road and not have to worry about flats and so far I am happy with my choice.
Good tire
A friend recommended this tire. He said that he never gets a flat with these tire.
Black chili rubber is grippy and confidence inspiring in rainy conditions, and is great in the dry too. Have these tires on my race bike and I keep them on for both training and races.
The 25c wide version I use is only a few grams more than the 23c, but it's a great trade off as the 25c is wonderful for confidence on the descents and rough roads.
After 6000 miles, the rear tire had a bit of a flat center section, but the front tire was still round with no flat center section. After that many miles, you'll likely have a few cuts, and I think I had 1 or 2 cuts on each tire, a few mm long. Not a big deal, and the cuts had been there for the last 2000 miles or so with no issues by the time I moved the tires to trainer duty.
I just bought a brand new pair of 25c 4 Seasons and plan on getting another 6k miles out of them. By far my favorite road tire. Did I say no flats in all of those 6000 miles? Yes, it's completely amazing.
Have been getting the GP 4000s for quite some time. Decided to get these for the winter. Another winner from Continental, the best brand in bike tires. Every other brand I get quick flats and the traction is iffy at best. Continental continues to deliver a tire that is relatively flat resistant and corners well. A winner.
Mostly for street and trail riding. I wanted a good quality tire as this is the only point between me and the pavement. The value was fantastic. The LBS is selling these for [$] installed.
These tires really absorb a lot of the road vibrations that were transmitted with the Specialized tires. They really increased the ride comfort.
