Reviews over the

Continental Grand Prix 4 Season

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

Suitable for cycling other than smooth asphalt.

Very satisfied with the 28 mm I've been riding with for years in winter, so now chose the 32 for once. Only plus points

Pros & Cons

Solid tire for poor weather conditions and on dirty, greasy roads.

Bike now feels stable on bends and wet roads, also smoother on rougher tarmac surfaces. I would definitely buy these tyres again.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Excellent quality tyre and relatively easy to fit too which is perfect in case of a puncture out in the cold Winter weather

Pros & Cons

Very solid and affordable outer tire for late summer and winter. The sturdy casing reduces the chance of punctures during winter rides. Also easy to mount on the rim.

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

Great tyres for the winter bike Grip and feel of these in damp cold road conditions fill you with confidence going through bends and lanes Fully recommend

Pros & Cons

Last Set of tyres lasted two winters, Never had a Puncture

I needed new tyres for my winter bike and didn't want to be having to change inner tubes at the side of the road. With this in mind l researched the best rated all weather tyres on the market. These seem to get consistently good reviews and are from a trusted brand. So far l find these grippy and roll well for winter tyres also not too heavy so bike still feels quick. No problems fitting these & no punctures so far, let's see how long they last.

Pros & Cons

Quick service from Mantel!

Pros & Cons

This is my second time buying these tyres for my commuter bike - the tyres offer an excellent level of grip and puncture protection, even on poorly maintained roads.

Pros & Cons

This weekend I rode outside with these 4 season tires and I liked them a lot. They gave me more security in the corners and on dirty roads. Until now very satisfied

Pros & Cons

The conti 4 season has good grip. Especially with the many rotting leaves it gives a safer feeling. The tire sits firmly around the rim.

Pros & Cons

light (ish), fast, very grippy in wet and sludge, no punctures... these things makes you realise why winter tyres don't have to be a compromise

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

As my first rides on different surfaces I found it good. Nice soft tire, doesn't feel so smooth however I never looked for performance.

Been cycling for 30 years. Never had such comfortable tires.

Pros & Cons

Great tyre that is good for the colder months and shrugging off the stones, winter debris and pot holes. I use this tyre on the rear to give extra wear and use a Conti 4000/5000 on the front for a bit of extra grip.

Pros & Cons

Very good tires for the months with R in the month.

Pros & Cons

I've had the Continental Grand Prix 4 Season tyres on the bike for a couple of weeks now and I'm really impressed with the grip to the point that I can't remember feeling so confident in wet weather conditions. I also decided to go for the slightly wider 28mm and paired it with a wider rim wheel, which despite the small weight gain, seems to roll pretty damn good.

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

Big fan of the Contintal tires. So is this tire that I usually mount at the start of autumn to get through the darker time of year on my Ridley racer. Comfortable and very grippy and therefore confident through corners at speed on the Posbank! Highly recommended! Easy mounting. Approximately 6 bar pressure and go with that tire!

Pros & Cons

The perfect tire for the shoulder season

Pros & Cons

This is my go to winter training tyre for the tough Scottish lanes. Great grip in all weathers and not bad rolling resistance for a 28mm width. Puncture resistance is good too and i think i can count the number i've had on one hand on these in 5 winters. Great price and quick delivery too from Mantel to the UK.

Pros & Cons

Good grip and puncture resistance but still an acceptable rolling resistance

Pros & Cons

Very good pneumatic

Good grip with the road surface. Definitely recommended. You pay a little for it, but then you have something!

Pros & Cons

The perfect tire in all weather conditions

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

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

I've ridden these tyres for years, sometimes in the most atrocious conditions. They have yet to puncture or even cut. They last for ages, and are comfortable too. Yet they manage to be pretty fast as well. What's not to like?

Pros & Cons

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.

Great tyres for all weather, except ice. However, in the wet they stick to the road amazingly well. I have used this brand for years and I have yet to find a better tyre.

Pros & Cons

Title says it all: great winter training tyre. Amazing prize from mantel.

Pros & Cons

They are my favorite tires because you almost never bike them flat (because they do last about 5,000 km.

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

Great tires that provide good grip on both dry and wet roads. The best tires that can be used all year round.

Pros & Cons

Fabulous all year round tyre. Good puncture resistance and lots of grip.

Pros & Cons

Of course I am enjoying my purchase of Continental Grand Prix 4 Season- how could I not! They are the best tyre ever. They stand up to filthy, gritty, bumpy, muddy country lanes throughout the winter. Great puncture resistance, but brilliant rolling. Faultless in my experience. And Mantel was one of the few companies to have them in stock - at a reasonable price.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Fine tire for road bike, more grip more safety and reliability for daily commuting.

Pros & Cons

Second pair after more than 3000 km. An extremely versatile tire with exceptional value for money from Mantel. Smooth feel and good grip on asphalt. Holds its own on rolling roads. Very good longevity. A must-have for both weekend sports enthusiasts and discerning amateurs.

Pros & Cons

32 mm tire for the winter season with a disc race bike. Tire falls slightly wider on the wider race rims measures 33.4mm. So if you have 38mm clearance you can mount it on a discracer. Went very smooth on the rim.

Pros & Cons

Excellent tire. Gives great confidence in the wet. Only thing I would like is a wider one: 37 or even 42mm.
