Review on ๐Ÿšด Premium Performance: Continental Grand Sport Race Fold Bike Tire Unleashes Speed and Control by Andy Edwards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great all round high performance road tyre, very economical for training and general racing.

I've always been annoyed by a review that gave these tires 1 star. It just wasn't my experience. These are economical "training" tires. If you visit the Continental website, the Grand Sport Race is an all round tire. They can definitely race and they feel good. You get a very good tire for the price. If you're upgrading from real street tires at a great price, the Grand Sport Race is a good upgrade. But if you're going for high-end tires, I understand that Grand Sport can feel different. This purchase is my second. I put my first Grand Sport on the front wheel and immediately noticed a difference, improved handling and feel. It's time to change the rear tire and get back to the Grand Sport (I have a pair to match now). I had no punctures, no swelling, no problems. /3/14 says that 700 x 23 cm weighs 230 g. I weighed mine, it weighed 240g. Far from a person who has 1 start and says he weighs 336g. Not enough difference to really matter.

Pros
