Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
These are my favorite road clinchers for quite a few years now- and I've gone through many road tires over many years including high end "racing" Michelins, Vresteins, Vittorias etc as well as trying to save a few bucks with cheaper models (not worth it). As a training tire this is the top of the list IMO. The price of these has increased quite a bit in the last few years, but they're still worth it. With modern materials, road tires get a lot of miles- lots more than they did even a few years ago, and tires are the most important bang for the buck component on your bike- save on the other stuff, spend on tires. With any tire, there is always a tradeoff between durability and ride quality. This is mostly due to the casing underneath the rubber- better ride quality comes from more flexible ("supple" among bike tire geeks)casing- more, and thinner threads per inch-tpi quoted in the specs. However thinner casing means more vulnerable to punctures. Some tires make up for this with extra belted layers of kevlar-type materials- like the Continental Gatorskin models. So you make your choices- better feel, handling and traction in dicey situations, or durability and puncture resistance. I've found the 4 seasons Conti to be the right mix for me- I don't ride them in a lot of glass-strewn roads and we don't have goat head thorns here in the Mid-Atlantic. I seldom puncture with them, and they last a long time. Too bad REI doesn't carry the 28c size- those are great for fast riding on dirt roads and they fit a lot of road bikes. All sizes run more narrow than spec'ed. The 25c size feel much better and not noticeably heavier than the 23's on pavement and are nominally gravel-capable as well, so I would definitely recommend getting 25s (I weigh 160). You can also run the 25s at a little lower pressure which really enhances the road feel, cornering and handling on rough roads, a little extra cush is nice to your butt and hands on long days- I like to run them at 85psi front and 95psi rear. The 25c actual width measures between 23-24mm using my caliper. The 28c measures 26mm. My guess is that the 23c measures 21-22mm. These would not be my first choice for racing clinchers (I race on tubulars) as they are not as supple as dedicated race tires like Michelin Pro3 etc. But you could certainly race on them if you wanted- I do lots of hard competitive group rides on them. But for everything else they're my faves-worry free great feeling go anywhere training tires. I did try the gatorskins- but I didn't like the feel, and they're overkill for me, I get so few punctures with the 4 seasons that ride much better. But I do recommend the 25s unless the clearance on your bike is really too tight.

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.
Pros

Cons
Best Uses

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.
Pros
- Durable
- Excellent Grip
- Good Cornering
- Low Rolling Resistance
- Puncture Resistant
Cons
- Wears Easily
Best Uses
- Commuting
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.
Pros
- Durable
- Puncture Resistant
Cons
- Firm
Best Uses
- Commuting
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.

Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
I wanted to chime in on these tires after getting some ride time out of them. After a little over a year of use and about 2500 miles in sun and rain, over sometimes rough roads with the odd patch of gravel and broken glass, I can say they are excellent. They replaced the OEM Specialized Roubaix tires which were flating every ride once they hit 400 miles (appalling). The original tires were extremely smooth and grippy, but the tradeoff was not a good one. These guys have been totally puncture resisitant, and have a good grip and road feel in all conditions. There looks like plenty of life left on the front, and several hundred miles on the rear as well.
They are not as supple or grippy as the Conti 4000, but those tires are extremely flat prone. Also tried Vredesteins, which seemed to lose their feel after a few hundred miles. These tires, on the other hand, feel just about as good as when I put them on.
I'll be sticking with them for my next purchase. In spite of the cost, they are a good value.

Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
Bought these to replace my worn out tires and i haven't looked back since. I have been using these for over a year and the wear on them has been much less than i expected. They haven't let me down whether i am riding when its dry or when its wet.

Comments about Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tire:
Much more durable than the Kendras they replaced. I had on puncture flat early in the season this year. I must have hit a patch of goatheads, as there were 4-5 holes in series. The only other flat was due to a cheap imported tube.
I have been caught in the rain a couple times on these tires, and they seemed to work fine.
Good overall tire. I've tried Michelin, Kendra, Specialized, Vittoria, but always come back to Contis.
