REI Members get back an estimated

annual member refund.
The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

The best balance of tires compromisesThese tires replaced the Specialized All Condition that came on my bike, which were prone to puncture flats. These also replaced the Bontrager Race All-Weather hardcase, which were heavy and had a decent amount of rolling resistance. The Conti GP 4-seasons (700x25c) have a nice compromise of weight, puncture resistance, grip & rolling resistance. They are pricier than the tires it replaced, but worth every single penny.

Good road tire; seems priceyI bought this because of online cyclist reviews. It seems like a perfectly good tire; I've bought four of them. Handles well, corners fine, seems to keep tread well. I did have a problem with one getting cut, but that may just be bad luck. I can't help but think that these tires are expensive--not just this one, but bike tires in general. They cost almost as much as car tires, and are only good for about 5000 miles. Am I crazy?

Punctures easilyI purchased these tires about 2 months ago for my son who commutes to work. Thought they were kind of expensive but took a chance because of the good reviews. One person said they puncture easily. Well, add me to that number. My son said he hit a bump in the road. I examined the tire, which also had a liner between it and the tube for extra protection, and saw a 3/8" gash that just caught the edge of the liner and penetrated the tube. The tire is finished.

good tireI have about 1000 miles on them and they seem to be holding out really well...I ride about 180 miles a week so they are only 6 weeks old. So far so good.... I am riding pretty much all on decently paved roads.

Excellent All Weather TireThese tires are highly recommended. I use these as replacements for the Continental 4000s tires when the weather gets cooler and wetter. The ride is excellent and very similar between the tires but the 4-Season rubber compound combined with the tread pattern seem to provide better traction on all types of pavement.
They wear very well and show little wear after about 1000 miles of mixed commuting and recreational riding.
I recommend using a 700x25c rather than the 700x23c size if it will fit into your frame as the gains in ride quality, rolling resistance and traction are quite noticable.

Great Tires. Highly Recommend!After more than 500 miles on them they barely show any wear. Definitely a smoother ride and noticeably less rolling resistance then the stock Bontragers that came on my bike so I am happy about that. Actually I sold those tires to a friend and they failed on the first ride.
So far these GP4ks are working out great. They are kinda pricey so that may be the only downside. I was using the REI Novara tubes, but after switching to another brand I haven't had one flat in many many rides, which is awesome. I'm running these tires on a pair of Easton EA50's. No complaints.
