Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
Tire design and choice requires tradeoffs. Do you want grippy or durable? Light weight or puncture resistant? The Continental Grand Prix 4 Season tire strikes an excellent balance between these competing goals. It is more durable and puncture resistant than most racing tires, and better handling than most heavy duty tires. It's one of the all-round best tires available for my fast hilly club rides and centuries.
Consider also Continental's foldable Gatorskin, which is similar and not quite as expensive.

Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
I have been using Conti all-seasons for years. The 4000 pair I bought last March is still going well after nearly 3500 miles on it. I had just two flats - both were due to nails on roads. Excellent tires. Worth every penny.

Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
I had some bad luck with Specialized armadillo's due to constant delamination. Purchased the 4 season for a back tire, and road all winter long in Madison, Wi, and I have to be honest, they worked like a champ, despite record levels of snow. The worst day was -22, and 3 feet of snow before I opted to take the bus instead of commuting. I wouldn't think of buying anything else.

Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
Got this tire for the back to try for last off season, kept it on through the summer. Durable tire with firm ride and extra tread pattern. Not sure that extra tread makes a large difference on a narrow tire, 23 width. Would return to the Continental 4000S in the future because I prefer the more supple ride of that tire.

Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
For this clydesdale cyclist in the city the rear only lasted ~900 miles before becoming swiss cheese. Still plenty of tread left, but it just cant hold air. Great resistance, my chief complaint was durability from the foldy.
