Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 4 Season

I bought these tires because I was looking for a puncture resistant tire. A puncture on a normal road can happen, but not 3 times in 2 weeks time, each time due to a small stone getting into the tire, resulting in a flat inner tube. Had expected much more from this tire...

Pros & Cons

decent tire that does its job in summer. no experience with it in winter yet

Pros & Cons

Nice tires, wear and puncture resistant. Rolling resistance would be a bit greater than other tires but really negligible and completely cancels out against no more standing still during tours.

Pros & Cons

Good to use and meets my expectations!

Pros & Cons

Very solid tire that does not puncture. May be that this type of tire has a little more resistance, but on the other hand, I have never had a flat since using these tires. For me then, the choice is easy.

Pros & Cons

For three years my brand of tires and not flattened. blissful o m cycling.

Pros & Cons

Simply perfect

No experience yet

Pros & Cons

So far so good no punches even off road

Pros & Cons

I bought these tires to get through the winter with a sturdy, reliable puncture resistant tire. Picked the Black Edition purely for a better look. 28mm version chosen. Not a single puncture with this tire so far, ridden between 700 and 1000km in the meantime. They are definitely puncture resistant, a few times I came across a pothole, stones and chestnuts I couldn't get around, these tires defy everything. The lower rolling resistance has not bothered me much. I can only say with a positive note that they are the perfect partner in bad weather and on roads where punctures are a higher risk.

Pros & Cons

rijd al vele jaren op de conti's four seasons. nu met de nieuwe black edition. helemaal zwart. mooier dan de bruine versie

Pros & Cons

The plus for puncture resistance is based on previous experience; with the last new tire, it went right on the second ride. However, that was a peg on which every tire had gone flat. The miles before that significantly fewer flat tires than with previous "slick" Schwalbes. That saved me some inner tubes last year. Otherwise a durable tire. Replaced in the rear after more than 5000 kilometers, in the front it will last another 1000 kilometers. Slightly more rolling resistance than the fastest tires, but also in that area actually fine.

Pros & Cons

Exceeds expectations, amazing product.

Pros & Cons

Everything fine

Pros & Cons

Nice rolling tire for gravel bike. Especially if you don't seek the real ATB trails too much

Pros & Cons

My favorite clincher in training and touring

Pros & Cons

Made a move to Swalmen last year but gladly return.

Pros & Cons

Now use this tyre for both winter and summer seasons. Slight increase in rolling resistance vs GP5000 but excellent durability and grip in all conditions.

Pros & Cons

Mantel delivers fast and quality material

Pros & Cons

Have the tire the first time in a breakdown on a tour from Berlin to Rome in an economy get sold. He has made half of the tour and then still held 5 years. Very good quality!

Pros & Cons

Completely lives up to expectations.

Pros & Cons

Continental Four Season are my "go to" tyre, and I ride them all year. I'm not a fan of punctures, and with these I only get about one per year, which takes five minutes to change. They have great wet grip on too, and only weigh about 20 grams more than GP5000. Very hard wearing tyres, but they still feel great on the road and very fast. It's great that Mantel stock the 32mm and 28mm as well, as they cope well with terrible British Road surfaces!

Pros & Cons

For all surfaces and weather conditions

Pros & Cons

Been using them for many years along with Conti Gatorskins

Pros & Cons

extremely reliable, 2 punctures and 2 years of service the previous set of tires! therefore ordered this set of tires again.

Good tire if you want to drive all year.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

No broad experience yet.

Pros & Cons

I ride with a 28mm; 5 bar; very comfortable; only after about 10,000 km the tire needs replacing

Pros & Cons

Have "used up" a set of Grand Prix 5000. But soon back to the trusty 4000 4 season again. Remains simply the most reliable and hard-wearing tire for touring riders

Pros & Cons

Very solid , track resistant and also puncture resistant tires; Highly recommended for both competitive and recreational riders.

Pros & Cons

8,000 km with the previous pair of tires and front/rear rotation after 4,000 km. Only 1 puncture.

Pros & Cons

No punctures yet, and great grip in winter. Already had many rides in bad weather. Very satisfied!!!

Pros & Cons

Super band

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with this GP 4season : grip, rolling resistance, running characteristics and puncture resistance.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit (no tire levers required). Grip on wet road.

Pros & Cons

Great tyres & service

Pros & Cons

helps to cope with current weather conditions and COVID 19 circumstances

Correct quality but a sharp stone or similar goes through it

Great all round tyre. Good weight, puncture resistance and wear rate. Not super at anything

Pros & Cons

Good solid tire to ride all seasons of the year.

Pros & Cons

So far great tyre. Good to have a wide option for rougher local roads. Adds a bit more comfort to the road bike but without sacrificing grip or puncture resistance. Only ridden in the truly wet or ice so far and not been let down.

Pros & Cons

One of the best winter options available

Great tyres for all year use, with great puncture resistance - would highly recommend!

Very versatile tires with good grip, puncture resistance and more than decent performance.

Pros & Cons

I had been riding on 23mm tires without too much tread for some time, after a few skids on the wet asphalt I went for some wider and more expensive tires. For me it is a big difference in comfort and sense of safety now that the grip is significantly better. Top tires!

Pros & Cons

I notice a big difference from my regular tires. With these tires, I feel more confident to ride in bad weather. I feel more grip, comfort and do not slide out, which could happen with my other tires.

Pros & Cons

After multiple punctures on new "3 season" tyres, I decided to go back to the old faithful 4 seasons - so far, so good :-) My expectations are that they will prove as reliable as they were in the past. Best price I could find was at Mantel - happy to continue to do business with them !

Pros & Cons

I have mounted the Conti Grand Prix 4 season on my commuter bike. I ride to work in all weathers! (about 5000 km per year) I changed the rear tire after more than 6500 km, no punctures whatsoever. The front tire now has 1100 km on it and the tread is still good. This tire has good rolling resistance and corners well, even in wet weather! So this tire is (indeed) suitable for all seasons. On my winter racing bike I also mounted the Conti Grand Prix 4 season. In short: a real top tire

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Look excellent. Good tread which should hopefully keep me upright in the wet conditions.

28mm. Fitted as a winter tire, went without tools on Mavic Cosmic Carbon pro. Tire definitely rolls fine, plenty of grip on wet/dirty pavement but the GP5000 I use in summer (in dry weather) is still a noticeably different/ finer tire. I think you should buy this tire if puncture resistance and durability are at the top of your list.

Pros & Cons

I looked at several different makes of tyre, but these seemed to be by far the best all round tyre for every season. They are also puncture resistant, offering more piece of mind and very easy to fit and great value. The black edition look great on my Ribble. I'm really pleased with this product. I would definitely recommend these tyres.

Pros & Cons

Durable . Robust . Safe. Love em!

Excellent grip, durability, puncture resistance and light weight. What else do you want from a winter tyre and great all-rounder? Also best price from Mantel.

Pros & Cons

I have been using this tire for at least 2 years, so very pleased with the product.

Pros & Cons

The tires offer good roadholding especially when cornering. Only on sandy trails is it be careful when the grooves get full of sand (then the grip reduces until the tires have discharged the bulk of the sand themselves while riding). Furthermore, these tires (28mm) offer more riding comfort compared to my previous tires (23mm) of a different brand. To determine the puncture resistance, I have not done enough km yet but they feel very solid while replacing them (this was quite easy).

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

I've used these for a number of years now, my go to tyre. Commuting, training rides, wet, dry. Performs at 35 Deg C and also at -4C. Good grip in the wet, no issues to date, and good rolling in the dry. Easy to pup on and off if it's ever punctured. Managed 9 months on a tyre before started getting more regular punctures from sharp stones on back lanes, once worn too much. But that's just time to change.

Pros & Cons

These seem to be excellent tyres, I've not yet done many miles on them though. Being foldable they are quite easy to fit, less of a struggle to get over the rim than wire bead tyres. Quickly delivered and well packaged by Mantel.

In every road surface and weather condition, you feel you have grip.

Bought these tyres to cope with the slippery UK winter roads. Normally run on Gatorskins but not enough grip for winter use. GP 4 Seasons feel reassuringly grippy with good confident handling on wet and muddy roads with very little compromise on rolling resistance. Haven’t had a puncture yet, either.

Pros & Cons

Noticeably great grip. Gives great confidence on wet road surfaces. Went from 23c to 25c and fit just fine. Had to put the rims back on before the tires could be inflated though. Tires are also slightly wider than 25c. Very happy with them and very satisfied.

Pros & Cons

I use these all year round in UK conditions and rarely suffer punctures. They are long lasting, superbly grippy and excellent value. Super service from Mantel as well, fast delivery and fun packaging. Happy camper.

Pros & Cons

These really are excellent tyres. They’ve give you so much confidence in the winter conditions and seem to be some of the best reviewed regarding puncture protection

Pros & Cons

excellent tire for winter riding

Pros & Cons

My Ultrasport IIIs that came with my bike developed a gash so I replaced them with these in 25mm form. Feels as good or slightly better than the Ultras in dry conditions and massively better on damp roads. 600km in and no punctures (fingers crossed), and these were also easier to fit than the Ultras. Delivered way sooner than advertised.

Pros & Cons

Confidence inspiring in these poor road conditions without compromising the ride. Excellent tyres.

Pros & Cons

I’ve had sever sets of these tyres. Great for winter road use. Light and quick but most importantly they don’t really slip on corners and drain covers. I’ve never had a puncture despite hitting some alarming size bits of metal and other road debris. If you don’t mind the expense then personally I think they very good.

Pros & Cons

a good tyre choice for year round riding

Pros & Cons

an absolutely excellent tire, runs for over 7500km without any puncture, very good grip v.a. in the wet, rolls well and sufficiently light, very good price-performance ratio

Pros & Cons

Bought for winter use and the puncture protection offered as had GP4000 on prior to these. Nice ride and dont feel any slower and hopefully no more punctures in the cold and dark.

Pros & Cons

Always stick with the 4 Seasons, been great for over 6 years.

Pros & Cons

Been using this tire for years without a puncture

Pros & Cons

One of the best all round road tyres. Reliable to help minimise punctures.

Bought these continental grand prix 4 season to replace my vittoria pro I've done 100 miles on them so far and can't fault them good grip on wet roads would recommend to anyone

Pros & Cons

I found these to be very grippy on wet roads especially when cornering, tyre pressures are individual but you need to find your sweet spot to get the best out of them

Pros & Cons

Quick delivery. Product as described. Would recommend Mantel.

These tyres are the perfect solution to your winter rides. Great puncture protection, long wear tread . All round best value tyres.

The last two 4 season tires both needed replacement within 1800km, in both cases were missing pieces of rubber leaving the underlying casing visible. It looks like the rubber is not stuck firmly enough to the casing. In the picture you can see that a piece of rubber is missing while there is hardly any wear around that point. The photo is of a tire that has only been driven 1650 km, I put it on in mid-September. So for a tire costing over 40 euros, I find the durability disappointing. Puncture resistance on the other hand is very good.

Pros & Cons

Just thought the tread may have been deeper for winter, but generally very pleased
