Review on Continental 4 Season 700X25 Folding Clincher by Ken Coste

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Tire exploded with normal use

I received this tire less than 2 weeks ago. I rode it a total of 32 miles commuting to and from work on paved roads and bike lanes. Got this Continental Grand Prix 4 season set and new Conti hoses to replace a very old set of tires that eventually gave up. I have mild OCD so I carefully check my tire pressure every morning before hitting the road and keep it at 110psi. I even checked my pressure gauge with a manual pressure gauge to make sure I was holding the correct tire pressure. Leaving work after an 8 hour work day, I was driving half a block when I heard *BOOM* and stopped to find the rear tire. cut diagonally in half. *Photo attached* What sucks is that now I have to return both tires and a set of 5 inner tubes to get my money back and wait for new tires and inner tubes before I can hit the road again. I will not buy Continental again. YMMV
