Continental Contact Plus Bicycle Tire - Durable and Reliable Performance.

Andy T: I installed these on my Trek eBike. They fit over the rims easily and installed in no time. 500 miles later, they still look great and get solid traction on my commute. They deserve 6 stars.

Tony: I put this on my hybrid bike which I exclusively use for paved rides. I was surprised how much better it rolls than the OEM tire and grip in the turns is greatly improved. The reflective whit ring on each side is very effective and a nice bonus.

Highly recommended

M. Ohanlon: Tire wear: approx 4.5k miles, all road. No punctures, changed from a slick tire option. Provides better grip in rainy conditions
Any cons: none. Average price for a decent tire.

KalleBlomquist: Super Passform, gute Qualität und bei der Lieferung war der Reifen so verpackt das er nicht verformt angekommen ist. Alles top!

sascha saum: Dachte erst an einen Fehler in meiner Bestellung,aber mein alter Reifen hatte auch 28"..Der bestellte Mantel auch, aber er ist viel zu groß! Wenn ich ihn auf die Felge ziehen will bekomme ich auf der anderen Seite locker noch nen finger durch...

MarK B.: Ich habe Ersatz für meine 28mm Slicks gesucht, die waren mir zu unkomfortabel bei den teilweise desolaten Radwegen und ich wollte ein Profil das auch bei Nässe funktioniert. Natürlich spielte auch das Styling eine Rolle, is ja nen Singlespeed ;) Der limietierende Faktor für die Reifenbreite war in meinem Fall die hintere Gabel, die max. 36mm Breite zulassen würde....da müsste dann aber die Einstellung/Montage extrem genau sein und einem möglichen Schlauchwechsel unterwegs war mir das zu gewagt ;)
Zum Reifen: Die Montage war super einfach (ist leider nicht bei allen Contis so ;) , der optische Eindruck ist toll. Der Komfort beim Fahren ist wirklich besser (obwohl es nur 4mm Breite mehr bei 0,2 Bar weniger sind), keine extremen Abrollgeräche und auch bei Schräglage in schnellen Kurven performt er sehr gut. Dazu kommt auch noch der Pannenschutz, der gerade in der Großstadt nen wichtiger Faktor ist.
Ich habe meinen neuen Dauerreifen für mein Singlespeed gefunden, werde ihn wiederkaufen. Tolle Performance, tolle Optik, solider Preis... bin voll zufrieden.
Als Vergleich habe ich auf meinem Winterrad den "Dauerlauf" von der Konkurrenz und meiner Meinung...

Karl D.: Just got these tires (700 x 35, 700 x 32) to replace Schwalbe Marathon Plus (which are sketchy on wet pavement). Was able to install without any tire irons or vaseline / grease on new Alex DM 18 rims, in 40F weather. It took a bit of tire massaging around the rim. The last 6 - 10 inches was the toughest but with further tire massaging (I don't know how else to describe - seating tire comfortably around rim) and patience (a few minutes) was able to get it on to the rim without tire irons.

After 200+ miles, I've noticed that on a fully loaded touring bike (40lbs panniers in front, 55lbs in back) these tires provide a much better grip on wet pavement than Schwalbe Marathon Plus. As to puncture protection, it so far looks pretty good, riding on pavement with general road debris.

Update: July 2023
Recently finished a west to east coast cross country tour (3900 miles) mostly road, including 800+ miles of limestone packed trails on a fully loaded (90lbs) bike, through rain / hail / snow. Zero Flats and Zero issues with tires. As to be expected, front tire has lost half the tread, rear tire is bald with occasional spots of the orange internal...

Client KindleClient Kindle: Needed some 10 days before receiving the package, but all finished well. Some said mounting was quite difficult. In my case (28x622, otherwise 28x700 C), this tyre fitted perfectly and there was no trouble with the size. The tyre looks wonderful event on an ancient rim, and seems as solid as it is described everywhere. Found these tyres for some 25€ a piece, this definitely worthes the delay! Looking so much forward to take them outside... Glad to share some experience review soon.

BagnonBagnon: Purchased these tyres to replace the trail tyres I had on my MTB. Was looking for more of a touring ride. These turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Great look. Great feel. All-around great bike tyre. I purchased the 27.5 x 1.5. I would recommend the Schwalbe AV12 inner tube. It fits perfectly.

R: Most Importantly - Let me make your life a lot easier for you: Buy a bead jack before attempting to install these tires on your hybrid or road bike.

My Scenario - I have a Schwinn Volare 1200 road bike and was running the OEM tires (700x28) and tubes (25-32). A lot of the roads I'm riding on are in bad shape and I like to take a gravel bike trail so I got the bright idea to put some wider slicks on it to make for a softer ride so I went with the 700x32 . I had zero experience removing or mounting bike tires before this project. I was using tire levers which seemed like they were pretty good but there might be better options out there.

Installation - Getting this tire on my front wheel was difficult but not too bad...slightly more difficult than I would have figured a task like that should be. Mounting the tire on the rear wheel was another story entirely though. It was insanely difficult. It seemed like it was going to be impossible to get the last 5 or 6 inches of the bead onto the rim. I was only able to do it by exerting every last ounce of strength and determination that I could muster. I got really aggressive and it might be a miracle that I...
