Continental
Grand Prix 4-Season Special Edition Black

Got gp4s for the 1st time. I�d done a substantial amount of research prior to purchase. Was a solid experience shopping with westernbikeworks with on time delivery. And btw love the chain cleaning kit

As a 3-4,000 mile a year cyclist who doesn't race, finding a value priced tire that has a supple ride, provides superior handling, and durable all in one package is a real bonus. This one measures up in that respect.

Light enough to help performance yet durable enough for a commuter tire unless you are on truly gnarly roads. I only switched to Gatorskin Hardshells because I am riding alone a lot. Gartorskins are much heavier and puncture proof in theory. I

Only run Continental tires on my road bikes have found the 4 season tire to have better grip in wet conditions if I get caught in the rain

while on a ride.

Super strong tire with exceptional mileage... and no cuts after 1800 miles!

Long lasting tread. Puncture resistance is as good as Gator Skin. Handling characteristics are good too.

I am a big fan of the Grand Prix 4-Season. Great all around tire.

3,500 miles, no flats. Great product. Use them until the roads are swept in the spring. Ill be putting them back on in the fall. Changing a flat in the cold isnt fun. Buy a pair.

This tire is among the fastest, grippiest, and durable tire I have used.

Super quality tires with incredibly long wearing

Great tires, very durable. Mine have lasted like iron. Only one flat in the last twelve months. Fantastic for the rough conditions and heat we deal with. Highly recommend them.

Puncture resistance, stickiness, low wear. This has become my everyday tire.

My go to road tire for here in Central Oregon

These tires are really good at not puncturing and yet are reasonably light, have good grip in dry and wet, and roll well. Sure, you can race something lighter but for everyday riding, training, and commuting that is still fast and fun, these tires are perfect! Virtually as tough as gatorskins but much better in all other dimensions.

No cons - I've had several and continue to love them.

These are my go to tire. Love the 4000s which just retired and have the new 5000s. The 4000s sidewalls has a tendency to blow after so many miles though. These 4 season have good flat protection, good roll and great grip. Rode 4000s and dura skin for years. These are all I ride now. I put on 10000 miles or more a year between commuting and weekend rides and good wheel sets, tires and saddle make all the difference.

This year, I decided that no matter the weather or conditions (so long as temps are above 20f and there isn't 3 of snow on the road) that I'm going to put at least 75 miles on the bike each week. Living in Boulder, Co... that can be challenging. With the addition of the GP 4 Seasons, I've lost all but one excuse... Excessive snow. They'd probably be fine in said weather, but I'm not. These things GRIP. I've been riding a lot of slushy, semi-snow covered, sandy, and wet roads, and they don't let go. On top of that, Western Bike Works had the best price on the internet so that was impossible to pass up. I'll definitely be running these tires during the off-season for the foreseeable future and will also purchase from WBW again!

I ride gravel trails with the grand kids and occasionally commute on debris laden deteriorating city streets with inattentive drivers. Good side wall protection is a must and thus have avoided many opportunities for punctures. Adjust the air pressure to the terrain 40 - 55 lbs. and ride with confidence. I have not made a direct comparison with comparable Compass tires but I think they are close in speed and comfort - on sale well worth the price. Had been using 32 mm Gatorskins and these are better for all weather traction, comfort and speed. The black edition actually improves the appearance of my beater VO campeur. To sum up, A tire that does its job very well.

Handling and Puncture Resistence

Excellent puncture protection

Excellent product. Outstanding grip and responsiveness.
