Great tires so far, very smooth ride and surprisingly good traction even though they appear to be extremely slick. However, installing them was NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. I can totally understand the other reviews of people who said they couldn't install them or thought they were the wrong size. It took my husband and I working together in order to get them on the rims, and even then I feared we were going to break them. Wow. If you're not sure what you're doing, you might want to take them to your local bike shop for installation.Got a quick test ride in when it was dry and they were fast and smooth. I also got to ride in a downpour the next day and they were very solid.

One week of use. I'll post Puncture and Wear experience in 6 months.I've installed and used many tires in the last 23 years.The U shape is very wide, making very difficult mounting with two hands, clamps where necessary for me. Once installed both tires had a 9 inch section very difficult to align in pre-inflation process to obtain a circular external shape once inflated.Grip and vibration abortion on city roads commute is great.Apr/14 One year and 3300Km street use. Tube exploded on an accident, many surface cuts but Not a Single Puncture !!! Really Well Done Tire.Apr/17 Still spinning everyday. 4 YEARS No Punctures !!! Outstandig Quality. Best purchase of my life period. Use them with the best 25-28 tubes,

Seems like a really quality tire for the price... Hard as you know what to fit on my rim at 27 1 1/4 inch really kind of took the fun out of it I've got a 1981 Japanese Miyata touring bike trying to upgrade/replace tires. The 27 1 1/8 inch tires have the same 630 bead width I'm going to try this on my front tire just seemed like a lot of tire to get in my rim at the 27 1 1/4 inch size even though that's what I've been using all year...ill update my review later but as for now I can only give a 3 or a 4 because of the difficulty getting on the rim. The quality seems a bit better than my CSTs...but you'll need patience strong hands and a decent tire lever...

I try to never use levers (too many pinched tubes) but after forty minutes my thumbs cried for mercy and I had to use one to pop the last, stubborn bit over the rim. I sincerely hope the tires are as puncture resistant as Continental claims because I would hate to be stuck changing one on the road.The ride quality is nice. I put them at the max PSI of 116 and still felt they took the edge off every bump and hole that usually jolt me. For a heavier tire they also have some zip to them; if you're looking to add some pep to your commute, or just want something bombproof but fun, these are a good option. Just make sure you have a tire lever handy.

I bought these tires in May 2013, now have 600 miles on the set. I have picked up thorns (goat heads) with these tires but they do not penetrate into the tube. I have stopped four times and removed thorns but have not had a flat tire. I would recommend these tires to anyone that lives in a area with tire hazards. The only negative thing about these tires is there weight. they are heavy and I can really feel it. They handle fine for the way I ride. I ride my bike everyday, rain or shine, average about 50 miles per week and ride on gravel, dirt, and pavement. Great tires just what I was looking for.

Great tires - very strong and look great. I put them on my wife's road bike since she prefers the trails but does not know how to change a tire. The goal being that she will not need to with these. One season past and the plan has worked so far. Beware that they are VERY difficult to get onto the bike and you will need some strong levers (and fingers) to get them on the rims. Or you could just have your bike shop put them on. Only concern is that if you did get a flat while out riding you may be in trouble repairing them - they took me about 30 minutes to get on at home with all the right tools.

Very pleased with these tires so far. Great traction and seem to be bomb proof. Have a couple hundred miles on them thus far and no issues in the least. Others spoke to the difficulty in getting them on the rim, while they were not easy, not nearly as bad as other made out to be. If you have any experience changing road bike tires/tubes you will have no issue.

I bought this tyre 2 years ago for my road bike. As I was experiencing puncture problem I decided to give try this tyre (Continental SuperSport Plus 700x25). I can say I had no problem for 2 years and I cycle 4 times a week on average about 8 miles. However, after 2 years of service it needed replacing and today I got my first puncture with this tyre.

Flat tire free despite running over some tough road debris. I broke a presta valve while pumping and had to change the tube and in that process I found a piece of glass in the bottom of the tire. Who knows how long it has been there but it wasn't THAT small, probably like the size of a motrin pill, and it didn't puncture.

Others have complained about hard mounting of this tire, but mine went on OK, just needed a little lube and some persuading to get it on the rim. It is working well so far and I have not noticed any difference in handling or weight. I am not a very demanding rider though so maybe others could tell a difference.

These tires are very high quality - you can tell just by riding on them. They are great for road - which is what they are. Great for racing and biking very fast. I currently have a continental 'hybrid' tires now, but if I ever need to race or want to only ride on road - I would put these on my bike.

Very nice tire but extremely hard to install. I wish they made these in folded versions as well. First tire I used my hands and thumbs and palms very hurting, then I literally used a plier for the second one. Good traction, fast, overall nice tire. 4* only for the difficulty in mounting these on.

I have about 300 miles on these tires and haven't had one issue or flat. I had a thorn sticking out of it, I pulled it out and it never got a flat. I was sketchy about this since I have been running conti gatorskin a for years, but this is a great tire.

This has to be the hardest tire I ever installed on a bike, I broke a tire bar and bent a metal tire bar. If you don’t know what you’re doing take it a LBS. For now it seems like a good tire, I’ll update my review as I ride them a little more.

These are an awesome tire. I just finished riding 125 miles for the MS bike ride. I have pulled out about 10 goat head thorns without a flat. I do use liners in addition to the protective tires. They are a smooth ride and I love them.
