Continental
Grand Prix 4-Season Special Edition Black

These tires are fantastic for commuting in the PNW. Lots of grip in the rain, fairly light and great durability. I got over 3k out of my rear tire going over rough roads and. lots of broken glass. Just picked up a new set on sale from Western. Great bike shop!

Great tires for all season riding. These tires have great road feel and fend off flats even when riding through the gravel.

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.

This is my second pair of these Grand Prix tires. They roll fast, come in several sizes and have fantastic flat protection. They are great for Spring and Fall conditions when the roads might be rather nasty. You might want to swap for something a bit lighter in the Summer.

I cant think of anything to add to all thats been said about this tire. Its been my go-to for years.

I've used 28mm GP 4-Seasons tires for years - for winter training, commuting, touring, gravel, and on a tandem. I think of them as a tougher version of the 4000S. Great grip, durability, and puncture resistance. The black side walls on the Black Edition make 'em look a bit cooler than the old gum-wall version, too!

These are awesome. No flats on my last pair that Im still using.. they also look nice..

Very happy with choice of the Grand Prix 4-Season tires. The feel is good, reasonably weight, and hoping the puncture resistance lives up to expectations.

I usually ride Conti's 4000 Grand Prix in size 23 mm and purchased the Grand Prix 4 Season in 28mm for winter riding. Like the 4000 these are folding tires and are lighter than I thought. They corner well, and are more durable. I am a fan. Great success!

Almost as smooth and fast as the Conti GP 4000 IIs and almost as puncture resistant as a Gatorskin, a beautiful compromise that is no compromise at all in terms of durability and quality.

I run these tires on all my road bikes

As a daily commuter in Seattle I needed tires that could withstand lots of road debris, wet weather, and plenty of hills. These check all those boxes. I've only had them a few months, so can't really judge them on how they wear and how much puncture protection they have. So far so good though.

The limited edition all-black tire will simply take the aesthetics of your bike up a notch!

In June I rode these tires (28mm) in the Haute Route Rockies - over 500 miles and 50,000 ft. of climbing on a mix of pavement and gravel. They were bullet proof and comfortable. No punctures, no problems. They performed flawlessly in heat, hail, rain and snow. They tracked with confidence on the descents and didn't hold me back on the endless climbs. I've also put countless training miles on these tires without a single flat. Pricey - maybe. Worth it - definitely.

Rode the Katy Trail. 250 miles of gravel. The tires look unscathed

Ive been running these tires for years, I love the all black edition. I live in Sonoma County where the roads are not so forgiving. And these tires are Bullet proof.

I have ridden these tires for a few Seasons, and they perform well in all conditions.

I am happy with the limited release Black edition, as they look super sharp.

I have ridden Michelin Pro 4 in the past, but bring a heavier rider, I had more than usual side blowouts, I enjoy the more durable casing of the Conti tires, and this 4 Season covers all my needs!

These tires are great for training. They wear very well and handle in good and bad weather. I usually get 3 years out of a set of Continental tires. I average 12 thousand miles a year. I'm a light rider weighing between 128 and 130 lbs. The last set I went 3 years without a single flat. A lot of the roads in southwestern Ohio and Indiana are not the greatest either.

I highly recommend these tires.

When I got my new Trek Domane, it came with 32s which I just wasn't ready to go to. I had always run Continental GP 4000S IIs - 23s or 25s, and I saw they made 28s in that tire also, so I got those. I loved the softness of the wider tire and lower air pressure, but I got 4 flats within 200 miles. All goatheads. I lost confidence in the ability of those tires to fend off a couple teeny tiny goatheads, so I went with these 4 Seasons. So far, 300 more miles on the same roads, zero flats. They are a hair stiffer, but I'll take the stronger durability. The black edition was a little splurge but does look better with my partly black bike.

I've ridden several tire brands for the last 26 years - Continental has always been durable but not necessarily long-lasting in my experience (in the competitive-race category tires).

It was a pleasant surprise to realize I rode almost 3000 miles on this rear tire (granted, it was off-season), 2000-2500 is more the norm for my usual go-to brand. So if there's something new with the Grand Prix 4 to make it tougher than before, then I can vouch it's true!
