I put a set if these tires on my bike at the beginning of the season. I have put 3000 miles on these tires, the only reason I am changing them is I am riding a century next week. I want to make sure I don't have any problems. I also have put on a new chain and rear cassette. Probably overboard. The tires. They are very good tires. I have read reviews where they have had a flat tire on the first ride with new tires. I did with the rear tire. It was not the tires fault, I picked up a small sharp peace of sharp wire in the side wall. I have no idea how it could have happened. If I rotated the tires I think I could get another 3000 miles out of them. The rear tire has some wear, front tire shows no wear.

Tire was received in very good condition. More info: I bought the same brand and specs of tire about a year ago from a different seller and noted that the tire had some imperfection, not enough to warrant a return. I thought it was a manufacturer's flaw. When installed, the tire had a very slight wobble enough to lightly graze my frame (as I had a very tight clearance when using a 28mm tire). Fast forward, I bought the same brand and specs from Sun Cycle warehouse/Amazon and I just received 2 tires. Both of which exhibits no wobble even I installed on the same bike! Well, now I trust this seller more for these brand of tires. Also, communication (on other concerns) were dealt with promptly and professionally.

I have about 700 miles on one of these in the 28c flavor on the front of my bike, and have been very impressed. My road bike is merely a training tool for mountain bike racing, so I wasn't looking for a race tire; I needed something that was inexpensive but still performed well enough to keep up during group rides. The roads here in Michigan are notoriously bad, and in my particular area they are chip sealing the roads at an increasing rate, so volume and compliance were also important; this tire in 28 has been the perfect choice given all those circumstances. I'm actually here to order another for the rear and thought I'd drop a quick review.

I do not race on my road bike. I'm not sure if they can take extreme corning. They do feel very secure on the road and will offer you very low rolling resistance. I love the color options. I chose a blue set and they look great. The installation can be a little tough. I would not attempt without some tire levers. Take it slow and you will get the job done in about 10 minutes. You should ride with proper air pressure. I road with these at 100 PSI but they are capable of handling 110 PSI according to the side wall. I will purchase more of these in the future.

These tyers are awesome!I had some assisance at my local bike shop to fit them as they are difficult to fit to the wheel when brand new and even the retailer made comment of the quality of the tyer.I cycle over 100 miles per week so tyers are important to me. I will now not purchace any other type of tyer and they have been fitted for one month now and I know that these are quality tyers as I have accidently rode over glass on journeys on more than one occasion and the tyers have not puntuured. Very impressed

Good value. I haven't taken them out on the road yet, but they feel a lot stickier than my old tires. I can't address the rollability yet, or the wear factor. However I will say these tires fit very tightly on my rims. I had to use tire levers to install these. So if you want to be prepared while riding, be sure to keep a set of tire levers in your tool pouch. If you flat you won't be able to repair the flat with your bare hands. You will need levers.

I'd say these are the most economical and efficient tires there are for a road bike, I commute to the university back and forth from home and I'd say that's roughly 16 miles all together every day except Sundays. The roads I ride through are full of cracks and potholes and these tires have endured all those obstacles pretty great over the course of 2-3 months. So if you're feeling cheap yet need something long-lasting these are tires for you.

It seemed like every time I installed an expensive new tire, I managed to shred it a week later on a shard of glass or something. Lately I've been using these. I don't get any more flats than I did with higher-end tires. These wear out faster, but considering they cost half as much as the higher-end tires (and those didn't always get the opportunity to wear out before they were replaced anyway), these are a great buy.

Excellent tire, highly recommend.I have been a Michelin pro series 3 fanatic for years. I bought these because of the price, and thinking I would like a change. These tires have not failed me yet, I did have a flat tire one time due to a staple that I had ridden on for some thirty miles. So that goes to show the durability and safety factor, only when I made a really sharp turn did the tire actually go flat.

I commute 11 miles a day, every day rain or shine (mostly rain, I live in Manchester) they have lasted nearly 10 months. Plus a cycle tour in the summer. So I roughly think the milage I've gained from them is somewhere between 2000 and 2400 miles.I'm suffering more frequent punctures now so they've hit the end of the road.They cost £25 at the time. Happy with the value, happy with the performance.

I use this on a road bike I mainly commute with .Continental is a trusted tire manufacture and this is a good all around tire. The reason for 4 stars is that this tire does nothing special, isn't super fast (wasn't expecting it to be), and is slightly difficult to mount to the rim. All in all, I expect this tire to run for a long time- I have 200 miles on it with no real indications of major wear.

I love this tires... they are so much better than 23mm and a lot more comfortable than the narrower ones and they look very well in the bike with the trim line. The trim in mine are green and they are nice. They are not to hard to install. I think this will be my new tire size. By the way, I am 57, not a racer but like to ride for the fun of it while maintaining some sort of Sport "mode" :=)

Had these on for a month and done over 300 miles with no problems, I was a bit sceptical about these as I am a schwable tire user, but after using these continentals I think I will be swapping brands , no punctures as yet and a far superior tire compared to schwable In my opinion. I will post again in a few months to give up date on performance of these

Hard to beat what you get with these tires for the money. They're relatively malleable, seem to be holding up well, and feel like good quality. I do get a lot of flat tires with them, though. If you pick up a goat head, you're pretty much guaranteed to have to change a tube. Not sure if that is what you get with more expensive tires, but there it is.

I replaced a set of 700x23 Michelin Dynamic Sports with these to reduce weight and rolling resistance. I was unused to a wireless tire and found these trickier to get on my rims but that is my fault. At 105psi on the road these have a nice tight predictable feel. They are 23mm but look slightly fatter in the sidewalls. I like them.
