Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 4 Season

Extremely high rolling resistance. Absolutely not recommended if you want to pedal a bit.

Pros & Cons

Not yet ridden 1500km and already had 5x(!) punctures. For me these tires never again, really a bummer. I don't know if it was pure coincidence, but even with other tires I never had so many punctures within 10000km. I'm going back to the Grand Prix 5000 soon.

Pros & Cons

Bought 2 tires of this brand and I have ridden maximum 50 km with both of them. both ripped. emailed with the supplier about it and answer was that it would be due to my rims, i find strange because the rips are at least 3mm above the rim. consequently 80 euro in the trash for a few km of cycling.

For all surfaces and weather conditions

Pros & Cons

Conti's do not fit around the rims of my scott plasma standard alu wheels, with some difficulty they do on the fur carriers of my trek 1400. The schwalbe's or pirelli's are slightly wider and fit with ease. seems to be more common with some american wheel sets.

Pros & Cons

It is simply a winter tire and as such just as slow as other brands compared to a summer tire. In addition, punctured and then a crack, causing the inner tube to come out. So still back to the Schwalbe Durano Plus which are also slow but puncture resistant and half the price.

Of course I had high expectations of this tire but unfortunately on the first ride it went wrong . A double protection according to the manufacturer was not enough to withstand a small piece of glass.

Pros & Cons

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

Bought these tires (28mm) for winter riding because they are known for their high puncture resistance, after repeated punctures with Continental GP5000's over the last two months. Compared to the 5000's (also 28mm), I find these tires less comfortable and my average speed is also lower despite riding in similar or better weather. After less than 300km I also had a puncture in the back due to a pebble. Hopefully this is dumb luck and the tires will live up to their reputation in the coming period.

Pros & Cons

I had ordered two because the "Schwalbe One 2020" were sold out online. So I just compare with the "Schwalbe One 2020". The tire go around the rim very hard. The first time I destroyed an inner tube because it got between the field and the rim of the tire, which I found out after inflating the tire. I never had this problem with the Schwalbe One 2020, which went around the rim very easily. In addition, compared to the Schwalbe One 2020, the tire has a bit more rolling resistance, but perhaps this will decrease after a few rides. I have just ridden them and they are okay in terms of grip. Yes I'll just ride them and then I'll quickly switch back to my trusty Schwalbe One 2020.

Pros & Cons

Ridden about 1200 km with it. About an hour after arriving at work the tire spontaneously burst with a 5 cm crack in the sidewall just above the bead. Pressure always kept at 5 to 6 bar

Pros & Cons

Correct quality but a sharp stone or similar goes through it

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

very good tires , unfortunately I have to change them after one year because the fabric on the sidewalls is coming off .

Pros & Cons

Was soon leaking

Pros & Cons

Put these tires on in early June 2023. Already had 3 punctures. The first 2 was apparently a pebble in the inside of the tire. The 3rd time was just today. 14/6/2023. Puncture resistance is nope for me. I hope it is due to the rim or that there is still a tiny stone that I overlooked. Going to bring it in now for proper inspection. The front tire seems to be fine. Therefore, currently 3 out of 5.

Pros & Cons

Cycled about 1000 km now with these tires and in terms of grip very satisfied. During my first vacation ride on a paved road in France I had a flat. I honestly did not expect that.

Pros & Cons

Replaced a Michelin Lithium II which had suffered three punctures in a week. So far so good. 4 days and 160 miles on same wet, muddy roads and no problems. Time will tell whether these tyres are worth the money.

Pros & Cons

Fantastic grip, very comfortable in 28c. Heavier and more rolling resistance than Michelin Pros but hopefully will wear well and offer good puncture protection. Recommended

Pros & Cons

Quality tyres giving good grip in all weathers and surfaces

After buying a new road bike in April and enjoying many long distance rides, I managed to get 7 punctures!! My cycling club suggested I use Continental 4 seasons tyres. Well it’s been a few weeks now but at present no punctures and I hope it stays that way.

Reading all the reviews it seemed like this was the perfect tyre! Unfortunately they are not, they grip well, roll nicely and are very comfortable. However, they have cut quite easily and I've had a puncture albeit on bad British roads in winter. Previously used Gatorskins which never gave me a puncture but lacked comfort and grip. Will return to them as my go to winter tyre when these are done.

Pros & Cons

I bought this as a winter tyre. I’m hoping it will cope with the wet & ice and with all the rubbish and stones that get washed into the road. So far it has but I’ve only done about 200 miles since buying them.

Pros & Cons

Bought to ride some cobbled climbs and ride on rough road surface. Good grip and comfortable ride due to 28mm width.

Pros & Cons

These tyres excel in the wet. Reasonable wear rate and puncture resistance. I have fitted a pair of 28mm to some hunt aero wheels and we're easy to get on the rim.

Pros & Cons

Always impressed with Conti’s and these don’t disappoint! Reasonably minimal rolling resistance for this level of durability - yes, you’ll find faster and lighter tyres but not in combination with their puncture resistance on all surfaces! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Pros & Cons

fast tyre with good grip. upgraded from 23mm to these conti 28mm and discovered a world of speed with comfort on european pave

I've only been riding with these for 2 weeks now so can't give a long term assessment, but so far so good! They were pretty easy to put on too. Not too tight.

Never used these particular tyres before, but on first use they seem to be well made and roll better than Conti Gatorskins. They were easy to fit with thumbs only on the off-set rims of my winter bike. No observable lumps or wobbles when rotating wheels. The 28mm. stated width seems true to size. Not cheap, but hopefully that will be reflected in their performance.

Pros & Cons

Got these to replace my GP4/5000s as I was riding different roads during these work-from-home times and was getting few side wall punctures as we move into winter. Haven't had them too long but they are still grippy, they are definitely more robust but the price you pay is that they ride a lot harsher - you really feel the road surface it is anything other than billiard-table smooth. Obviously a bit more rolling resistance too. For me, this is a good trade off for the winter but will definitely swap back to the other tyres when we get back to summer!

Pros & Cons

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

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

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

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

Pros & Cons

Too early to tell seem to roll well.

Pros & Cons

Have been driving these tires for years in all seasons. Punctures are extremely rare. Ideal rain and cobblestone tire.

Pros & Cons

Good value for money

Pros & Cons

Bought for less chance of leaks, still leaked quickly. Hopefully coincidence.

Pros & Cons

Easy to attach

Pros & Cons

Safety first, then a little less rolling resistance.

Pros & Cons

I use the tire every day, on the way to work, on a variety of surfaces

Pros & Cons

Taken for white road granfondo, my bike only supports 23 clinchers and this should give me the top as puncture resistance

Pros & Cons

Not that you can go flat through corners now :), but great tire for wet weather and early and late season.

Pros & Cons

Excellent grip on wet wet bottom, also recommended for year-round use if you don't need maximum smoothness

Pros & Cons

pedals shimano longer shaft.

Very good straps good quality

Have been using this tire for many years, because I hate having a flat tire. And that is exactly where this tire excels: in 10,000 km it had only 1(!) puncture. Also on gravel, wet roads with stones and shell paths at the coast no problems. You notice that it does not run as lightly as a gp5000 or Vittoria Corsa, but for a recreational rider like me this is not really a big disadvantage. Talking about disadvantages: the tire has become more expensive in the last couple of years (from 28 to 43euro), and the sidewalls sometimes have some loose threads. Shouldn't be allowed for a premium (read: expensive) tire like Conti. Fortunately this can be quickly solved by cutting them off. All in all an absolute must for the non-race rider who, like me, prefers cycling to sticking tubes in.

Pros & Cons

Great product and delivered quickly

Pros & Cons

I have had these tires for years and like them well this time I took size 32 for fall and winter and summer's the gps 5000

Pros & Cons

I just ordered this tire as a spare. You won't know if it's ok until after the miles traveled. But I have been driving with this kind for several years. So satisfied!

Very good experience after 1500km. Very good tire in both wet and dry conditions.

Pros & Cons

Very good road holding, a tire that gives you confidence on wet roads

Pros & Cons

Very good tire for its price. Very good for commuting and training.

Pros & Cons

After about five seasons of using only as a "winter tire," I am going to use my new set year-round on my racer. The current 5000 series has been very bad for me. And so I'm going to see how the 4 Season holds up year-round. In any case, it does not roll noticeably worse, and is also many times more puncture resistant! That's why it's also a great tire for gravel or forest trails. (Saves you having to buy a gravel bike!) It is a pity that Continental made the Black Edition of this tire extra expensive. The standard colored sidewall seems more expensive to make. But there must be a well thought out marketing plan behind it. Anyway, a super tire for the average (avid) recreational rider! Got the 25 mm on 6.5 bar front and 7 bar rear.

Pros & Cons

Ridden it daily all winter. Not made a slip.

Pros & Cons

Am on the road daily with my bike summer/winter for commuting/work/shop and relaxation the tires meet my expectations

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

No broad experience yet.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

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

excellent tire for winter riding

Pros & Cons

Rode it all winter last year. Never a puncture. A bit heavier and slightly higher rolling resistance than the regular Con ti though.

I've been out in the rain and this tire seems fine. I had 23s before and you can really feel the difference when you switch to 25s.

Pros & Cons

Good grip, easy to put on the rim. Is still very acceptable in terms of rolling resistance.

Good grip just a lot of resistance.

Pros & Cons

Now that autumn comes with rain and leaves on bike paths, I feel safe with a tire that has more grip. I also don't have to worry about punctures.

Pros & Cons

this time I had more trouble with the tires, so I punctured them easily for the first few km, but it was strong glass, I'd say :s

Pros & Cons

Very good tires for the bad season, good grip in cool weather, puncture-resistant. Very good tire performance. Don't hesitate to choose a wider section than the summer tire.

Rides really smoothly and does not lose grip in wet weather.

Pros & Cons

For the first time the 4-season tire. Always rode with the regular grandprix. So far (1000 km)satisfied.

Pros & Cons

60 years approx. 15,000km per year

Seems like an excellent tyre. Now 2 weeks on the bike.

Pros & Cons

Fine tyre, service from Mantel perfect. Very fast delivery

Pros & Cons

Ideal tyre for winter and commuting

Pros & Cons

Have been riding these tyres on my "winter road bike" for years. I can't find better alternatives. Last one (rear tyre), however, had to be replaced after 3000 km, severe puncture of "staple". But yes, shit happens ... Let's be happy, and keep riding.

Pros & Cons

very reliable,easy to assemble

Pros & Cons

Knew this band The finest

Pros & Cons

In my opinion the best tyre for winter. Tough, but also quick enough for tempo training spring and autumn. My go to tyre always when winter arrives.

Pros & Cons

Tried all the competition, and I always come back to this tyre. Best wet weather grip, and puncture resistance is superb. Don't waste your money on anything else.

Probably the best all round road tyre. I have used several makes - Michelin, Schwalbe, Conti and Specialized, and several versions of each. These come under the fit and forget category. They are light and only marginally heavier than the 4000sii's. I have never had a puncture on these in more than 1000 miles. The grip is noticable and remarkable, particularly in 25mm as opposed to 23mm. Some tyres are good for no more than 1000 miles max - these go on and on and on.

Pros & Cons

All year version of the gp4000 2. Good grip, smooth ride

Probably the best winter tyre on the market.

Pros & Cons

Very nice tyre , good grip and nice hard side walls. Recommended for the good old English weather. Lol

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Good tires best value , last long , anti puncture this tyre is best for high mileage highlight recommend .

Pros & Cons

Good tyre puncture resistance really good. Ideal for winter on shit roads . Good price

I approximately ride 200 miles a week in Scotland through the Glens with cut up gravel packed roads. Only having 3 punctures in 2 years says it all. Also hard wearing and rolls fast! Look no further!

Pros & Cons

Saw these at the rouleur classic show and bought straightaway a bit hard to fit but ok once on. Perfect on my zipp wheels for the winter on the road

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Great quality road tyre.

Pros & Cons

I've owned these in various sizes and cannot fault them. The 32's are fantastic. They handle everything you throw at them and in return they fill you with confidence. Very comfortable and yet fast rolling with little resistance. I just completed a 600km Audax with 33000ft of climbing. Hardknott Pass in 16 mins. Super tyre.....if you've got the clearance you should own a set

Pros & Cons

Fast, durable all weather commuter or training tyre.

Pros & Cons

Tried many but these are the best combination of grip, weight and durability!
