Fantastic tyre, just make sure you order the right size

Edited 5/15 - I was so impressed with the tire after a few miles of cycling that I ordered another one yesterday. I also forgot to mention that the first one came in a real box, big and the tire was perfectly fixed. I recently bought a bike for a project and took it apart and rebuilt it. This is a road bike in good condition but I have changed the brakes, brake levers, cables, seat and handlebars to make it more off-road capable. The rear tire broke along the sidewalls, so the search began for a more durable tire that would be smooth on the road and able to perform on the track. I used Continental tires on cars before deciding on this one. Reviews on the web are very positive, but a good percentage discuss that the tires are a bit small compared to other brands. I'm glad I listened as my bike runs 700-28 and didn't want size to be an issue. I ordered 700-32 and damn they are perfect. The tires are a bit heavier than I'm used to, but with puncture resistance that I think is to be expected. They look great, handle bumps well, have fantastic traction on tarmac, and I found their favorite spot to be 80# pressure. An added bonus is they look amazing and the reflective sidewall is just great at night. These tires will outperform tires that cost significantly more, so buy knowing you've made a sound purchase with little leftovers.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • boring packaging
