Well, out comes the GP 5000 for 2019, but I still look to the 400 for proven performance. You can't beat this tire reliability, grip, strength,....it has it all. I'll tell you how it lasts when I reach the 10,000 mile mark!

I have been riding for about 4 years and these are the best tires I have used.

Been using these tires for years. Fast, supple and better then most regarding flats. That reflective stripe is very sharp especially with aero wheels.

You can't go wrong with these tires. They're my favorite for both racing and training.

Good quality and a nice ride. Have been riding for years.

It may have been replaced by the 5000, but this tire has been proven through and through. With a discounted price, this tire is still well worth it. Cant pass it up and will not hesitate to buy again.

I used to ride exclusively on another brand of tire. A riding buddy said I should consider Continentals. The pair I ordered from Western are my reserve tires. The first set I bought ARE STILL GOING STRONG....5000kilometers ( about 3000 miles) ....NO FLATS !!!

Just received my new Trek Madone bicycle. After a flat on second ride, ordered 4000s and replaced factory tires. Continental 4000 S2s are lighter, smoother and better looking. The reflective strip is very sharp!

Super light and easy to install
Review by Steve Hornstein
The only tires I will use on my bike. Gets an occasional puncture but prevents a lot more.

Switching from a completely smooth road tire to a grippier one was the best switch. Massively versatile for a road tire.

Love this tire for all my uses from commuting to race day. These tires have never let me down! And Western Bikeworks always has the best pricing and the best customer service in the industry!

Perfect tire for year round use. Handles the wet roads found here for most of the year, and then really shines during the couple of months of dry. Range of widths provide an option for all. Does run a little wider than posted dimensions.

I had previously ridden on Vittoria Open Corsa clinchers. These ride as fast as the Vit's but not as supple. The Vit's are good for a 1500 miles max. and seem to cut very easily.The speed advantage the Conti's provide more than makes up for the less supple ride quality and so far I've experienced no punctures. When on sale I usually buy a pair.

The Gold Standard
Review by iammikeDOTorg
Super fast, super grippy, relatively long lasting. These have been my go-to tire for as long as I can remember. New bikes get them installed near immediately. I use these daily and no complaints on longevity, but the 4-Season isn't a bad option if you're not racing.

Good light weight, that handles the road well
Review by Cyclespeed
I have raced and trained on these tires for many years and they enspire confidence. With average of about 3800 miles a year, I only get one flat per year. Great traction on both dry and wet surfaces.

Durability , ride and speed are all at high level.

Nice tire except the sidewall failed (tear) after only 1200 miles. No obvious cause - smooth road. Too bad - I liked it otherwise. Seems like it had goodlow rolling resistance on my kind of roads. Won't buy it again because of the failure.
