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.

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.
This tire is now on the top of my list. Compared to Gatorskins, much more supple and much stickier on the road. Have much better feel and grip in the corners. Noticeably lighter than the Gatorskins and can feel the difference on the hills. Only downside is they are not as durable as Gatorskins. Interestingly, though, I have as many flats with these as with the Gatorskins-go figure. More than a little pricey though. But, greatly recommended.
Great tire especially when on sale
Just got off my bike after a 13 mile ride on a beautiful Portland summer day. What a difference when compared to the Scwab Luganos that came with my Cannondale Synapse.
The Luganos felt like they wanted to roll off the rim while turning, felt every bump, worried everytime I went throught the bike lane marbles. I have a bad back and love the new bike design now with these new tires I have a whole new biking experiance. My intent was to get these tires for winter but decided based on the reviews and manufacturers specs decided to put them on this morning.
Even though I just got the tires I wanted to share the First Impression from a new guy perspective. Hight recommend.
Great tire. I have 500 miles on these tires - perfect! I am switching over from Gator Hard Shells, same great protection with smooth and sure footed ride.
I only have a few hundred miles on them so far but traction on both wet and dry pavement is very good and the wear seems to be good.
