Tires are great (based on previous purchase). Bought these for second bike. Best price I could find in google search.
My favorite tire for several years now. Ride quality is great and the durability is fantastic. A previous front racked up 5,800 miles and a paired rear hit 3,000. Catching a BTW sale is a great way to get these tires at a tremendous value.
I think of tires in terms of rolling resistance, grip, puncture resistance, weight, durability, and price. The Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II is my preferred option for an all around tire. The durability, puncture resistance, and price mean it's good enough for training, but the rolling resistance and weight mean it's also good enough for racing. If I could only have one tire, the GP 4000 would be my choice.
I have had two sets of these tires on my BMC Team Machine SLR01 in the last 18 months. They generally last between 3500 and 4000 miles. During that time I have had only one flat tire, and that was largely my fault, as I was running too low pressure and got a pinch flat. I have absolute confidence in these tires under any road conditions. They cling to the road and never lose traction. I wouldn't put any other tire on my bike.
great handling, great wear, good puncture resistance
I, and many others, consider this the best road tire around. Since I went from a 23 to a 25 (granted only one season), I've yet to have a flat. Very reliable.
Love these tires. Been using them fro years now. Long lasting as wall a a great performer. I use them for traning, rideing and racing.
Used on my road bike, the tires seem to last for at least for most of the year unless I ride over something really nasty
I have been using this tire for a couple of years now. I can get about 1000 miles of use from the tire. I wish the tire was a little more puncture proof, riding in Southern Utah they have goathead thorns that wreak havoc on tires.
No complaints. Excellent in rain, as well.,
I've been running on Continental Grand Prix tires all year, ridden almost 2,000 miles on them and they're still in good condition. The tires are fast and smooth and i'd recommend them to anyone.
Excellent performance. Holds up well. The only tire I use.
Even though it is rated as a racing tire, it works well for all-around riding. I get 2-2.5k miles out of the rear tire. Our roads are relatively rough and I don't get many flats.
Best clincher on the market
I can go miles and miles on these tires without a flat . The price is great and well worth it !
I run these in 25. Theyre comfy with excellent grip and feel. My only concern is ease of cutsnicks. I lost a 40 mile old rear to a small piece of broken glass, which I have never experienced in my life. I bought another one, regardless.
I purchase these at a good price. These are my tire of choice for all year around riding and racing.
Since switching to 700X 25 over the 23, I've yet to have a flat! Think of that......I
'll never ride another tire.
Really like these tires. They wear very well. The ride is better than previous tires I have ridden. Zero flats or cuts on the tread. No problems handling chip & seal or less than ideal surfaces. Wish they would make a tubeless version.
This is a review of the Conti GP 4000s II.
This tire has it all, wet and dry performance, puncture protection, durability and a good price. This would be my tire of choice for general road bike riding if the Michelin Pro4 Endurance wasn't available for nearly $20 less. The GP4000s II wears better and lasts longer than the Pro4 Endurance but due to the cost difference the Michelin is a bit lower cost per mile.
