The Continental® Contact tire is the ideal choice for all-around touring or commuting on city streets.

  • Safety System puncture protection utilizes a polyamide nylon belt directly under the tread strip
  • Safety System puncture protection makes them virtually impervious to puncture and road debris
  • Mix of carbon and silica as the main agents; carbon aids tread life while the silica boosts grip levels
  • Flexible shoulder lugs and fine sipes guarantee grip in curves and on loose surfaces.
  • Tire is grooved to channel water from center to side threads for traction in wet road conditions

Imported.

Comments about Continental Contact 700 Tire:

I've only flatted this tire a few times. Once was when I accidentally ran over an bottle of beer (not glass piece) and actually teared the sidewall. The other time...actually I don't recall really. I've biked 100+ miles through goat head country (puncture vine) and probably about 1000 miles through Seattle and had no flats.

I'm guessing I'll get about 4000-5000 miles out of my pair.

I don't think the tire is especially fast compared to my road bike's tires, however I've done "century" rides no problem.

    Comments about Continental Contact 700 Tire:

    I've commuted with these tires for over two years with no flats to date. I moved to Denver, city of the goatheads, and while my friends recieved countless punctures every other week, i kept on rolling. Also, they seem to help with keeping the rain spray away from me when riding in the Portland weather even without fenders. These tires still have plenty of life left on them and are a great tire for the price. I plan to buy another set when these wear out.
