ContinentalGrand Prix 4-Season Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I'm a one-bike guy so I need tires that allow me to commute in urban areas without constant flats AND keep up on longer road rides. After trying a few different tires, I've found these to best hit that sweet spot. They aren't the lightest, but they also aren't that heavy. I've been very happy with them and riding more confidently without flats since making the switch.

Bullet proof tires...and the ride quality is better that the Gatorskins... Also, I went with the 700x28 and lowered the tire pressure 5 psi...great set up for long distance rides...and will definitely buy again

These are the only tires I roll with in the fall and winter, great traction on wet pavement!

Feels safer on these in winter roads with more debris. I really like having these heavy duty tires work for me!! Worth the extra cost for peace of mind.

I had high hopes for these tires. I found them unresponsive and not very grippy. The rear tire was cut right through after less than 300 miles. Numerous small cuts in both tires. Hey, winter in Portland, lots of stuff on the road. Maybe just bad luck and I am being hard on the durability. However, I also did not like the ride quality, cornering, and the insecurity riding on wet surfaces. Lots of people I respect really like these tires. They just aren't for me. When I switched to Vredestein Fortessa Tricomps on the recommendation of a mechanic at WBW, I felt my bike come alive again. I wasn't slipping all over the place, and I felt confident cornering. I expected to love the very expensive Continental 4 Season tires,but I found I am much happier with the less expensive Vredestein's.

I've been commuting on these for a couple of months now, about 150 milesweek, and have nothing but praise for these tires. Relatively light weight, rock solid performance, and a sense of security that I won't flat in the middle of the international district at 0-dark-thirty. They are fast enough to leave on for quick group rides on weekends too.

I use these 28c tires on my disc-brake cyclocross commuter bike for my 20 mile commute from the Bronx to Manhattan in NYC. I like to ride fast, and I hate the typical heavy, slow commuter tires. These tires feel more like my race tires, but repel the broken glass and soak up the bumps of the mean streets. I've been using these tires for about 2 months, and haven't had a flat yet. Definite recommendation!

Have 2,400 miles on these tires over varied terrain all 4 seasons without a puncture. Plan on rotating and putting new tubes in just in case. Hard downhilling, light gravel, puncture vine country, rough chip seal and a few unintended off-road trips without any problems. How could you beat it?

These tires I found to be an excellent, mid-range price tire. Sure, you can go out and purchase a more expensive tire, but if you are riding to be in shape and even to get to a high level or recreational use, these tires are for you. I couldn't be more pleased, and I certainly don't want to spend the money I would have to spend to see if I could be more pleased. I save that for when I start serious racing competition.

Been using these tires for several years & they have held up to the worst the Northeast winter and spring can throw at them. I've also used them in Gran Fondo's, touring and other event rides, as they are reliable and lessens the hassle about picking up debris and flatting. Extremely smooth rolling as well. Would I recommend these, you bet.

These are wonderful tires. I have used them on multiple two week bike trips without a flat. I ride 28s and if they measured 28, I would give them 5 stars. Deducting 1 star for only measuring 26 on Velocity Aerohead rims.

I replace a pair of Bontrager Allweather Plus tires which were not very good in the wet. The GP 4 Season was easy to install and it was immediately apparent these tires run small-700x28c is more like 25 width. In fact they are slightly smaller than the Michelin Pro4 SC 700x25c (which I'm told runs large) on my other bike. No matter, that makes for great rolling and these tires are super grippy on dry and wet. Too early to tell about puncture resistance but so far so good.

I have just over 600 miles on these tires now and no flats!! I have the 700 x 25, and they ride very smooth. I've always purchased the Continental Gatorskins. Those tires were O.K., and I'd get an occasional flat with them, but I really like the Grand Prix 4-Season with Vectran much better!! The Gatorskins are a smooth tire without any treads, while the 4-Season has treads to give you more grip in case of rain and road debris. I might me a bit slower with the 4-Season tires, but I don't race and am along to enjoy the ride.

These are absolutely essential if you ride in iffy conditions. I typically ride GP4000S year round. Never again. After flatting and discovering 10 (yes 10) shards of glass in my tire, I knew I needed something more durable for the brutal New York area winter. Made the switch to the 4 Seasons and am thrilled with the performance. This has been an epically awful winter and the 4 Seasons have been stellar. Smooth, fast ride and not a scratch on them. Didn't notice much of a difference, in terms of speed and handling, compared to the 4000S. Will be riding these well into the spring. Will race Battenkill with them as well.

Great price from WBW also!!!

My Father-in-law, a wife and I only use these tires. They provide a great mix of traction, performance and longevity. Putting over 2000 miles a year on my bike I have never gotten a flat with these Continentals! Even hitting rumble strips going 45mph they held up and protected the tubes. I would recommend replacing them annually as you will see the tread wear after a few thousand miles and the stiffness also decline through heavy use.

I use the GP 4-Season for fast recreational riding and commuting in the a fallwinter cold and wet weather as a replacement tire for the Conti 4000S. The tires have an excellent ride and great traction even on wet pavement. All of the Continental tires have very good puncture resistance but the 4-Season tires have been clearly better per mile. Especially given the fact that during the winter avoiding glass and road debris is a challenge in the darkness of early morning or evening. Overall they have a secure and comfortable ride and give up little as high performance road tire. If frame clearance permits the 700x25 are recommended over the 700x23 as the ride quality and puncture resistance is better.

Other than a 400 mile ride on paved and gravel bike paths in Europe where the tires performed perfectly, we use them on paved bike paths in Colorado. Happy with the tires and prompt service from Western Bike Works.

Have several hundred miles on them now and they are sticky and roll well

These are my go-to tires for all around riding. Tires are super durable. I ride 28c for additional comfort.

Great price, perfect quality, durable.
