Ultra Sport III tire - clincher, folding, PureGrip, Performance, E25, black or black/brown, 650, 700x 23, 25, 28 or 32

These tires are an absolute bargain and perform well above the competition at this price point. Grip is outstanding, they are super comfortable on the road, soaking up any high frequency road chatter as well as bigger bumps, install fairly easily and last a very long time (about 5k miles on the rear wheel for me, but I am light so mileage may vary). According to tests they have a higher rolling resistance than many pure racing tires (like the Continental GP5000 for example) and they do not have a puncture protection layer, but I don't feel that these slow me down at all, and I only had 1 puncture in almost 6000 miles. In my experience, I do not find tires with built in puncture protection are any less prone to punctures. Usually, if something punctures my tire, it does so regardless of a puncture protection layer and the puncture protection generally has a negative effect on overall tire comfort as it make the casing stiffer and less flexible. These tire are not labeled for tubeless use and I have only used them with TPU tubes but the next time a replace them I will try to see if they will run tubeless. Either way, these are outstanding tires for everyday use and the value can't be beat.

Ok, so anyone reading knows, this is the only review that is going to tell you what you really need to know. I read them myself and there are a few haters posting bad reviews here, so I'll set that straight right now. As a bicycle mechanic, my thoughts while reading these reviews were that every single bad review was done by those who do not, AT ALL, ride even close to daily or that they have absolutely no clue what they are doing and cannot work on bikes.. As for my review, i absolutely love these tires. They were super easy to mount. The reviews saying they are hard to mount don't know what they are talking about. So easy. My race tires are Schwalbe Pro 1's, now those are a pain in the a$$ to mount, but these were much easier and cost half the price. I got a red and blue one to set off the look of my Trek i use for daily riding and training. They are awesome looking with many color choices to match just about any bike, roll very smooth and the compound rubber they are made of is pretty durable for commuting. My race tires get gouged pretty easy since they are not meant for rocks and pebbles, these however, take a beating like a champ. For the price, you can't beat these tires. As for flats and those reviews, again, they don't know what they are buying or what they are talking about. These are not meant to be absolutely puncture resistant and don't claim they are. Do yourself a favor and buy a set of stop flat 2 tire liners on Amazon for less then $15. I have them on all my bikes and haven't had a flat on any of my wheels in over a year now and i ride more and harder then anyone i know. Just ceck out my pics and video, they show how well they also seat on the rim and how awesome they look. Bottom line, you want a great tire for your bike just pick a color to match it and order these. Update: 3 months later i had replaced these with an equivalent, more expensive bontrager set of tires.. yeah, that lasted maybe 3-4 days and only because i at least gave them a shot to win me over.. they failed miserably and these continentals went back on. The bontrager's just weren't as smooth feeling, didn't absorb as much shock from bumps, weren't as balanced (i could especially feel the balance was off while riding without hands on bars) and didn't feel as if they gripped the pavement as well. Basically, these continental tires were superior in every category to which i compared them. These tires don't look like they've worn a whole lot and i imagine I'll be replacing them with a new set of the exact same ones in about 5-6 more months. Now, i ride like a crazy guy who is addicted to speed and the adrenaline that comes with passing cars on a bicycle, i ride 20+ miles almost daily and i ride my bikes harder in 1 day then most do in a year (or more), i service my bikes quite often as it's needed when you ride like i do and 9 months on tires might not seem that great but I'm probably far above 2k miles on these already so that's actually really freaking good. As long as they hold up to any weather damage they see, the average rider should see at least a couple years of decent use with these continentals. Still a 5 star tire from me and highly recommended, 110%

Excellent replacement road bike tire for my Cannondale R500. Had a very old Bontrager tire that I wanted to replace but did not want to break the bank, so I gave this tire a try. Fairly easy to install and ride quality has been solid. I've rode approximately 600 miles on it and have had no issues and no punctures.

Not the best nor most expensive tire but works great and looks nice. It’s a good deal and appears to be holding up well. As far as ease of installation, I feel no bike tire is ‘Easy to install’. It’s as easy (or difficult) to install as any other tire.

Have been riding on these tires for over 2 months, averaging 40 miles per week. They replaced Continental 4-Season tires, which I enjoyed for 2-3 years, until they began to fray. These tires thus far have been comparable, at a lower price point. But I had them installed at a bike shop, they do not appear easy to install, which charged me $10 per tire.

I have now used these in the 700x28C clincher format for more than a year now. Have done about 4,000 kms on them so far. I am astonished by the quality of these tires. Not a single puncture till date. I live in Bangalore, India and anyone who lives here or has visited knows the pathetic condition of our roads. They are riddled with large potholes, sudden road cracks/ruts, small stones, broken glass, pits and uneven strips. Despite all this, these tires have never let me down with a puncture. My usual rides are about 50kms long with about 500 meters of elevation gain on these roads and while the rolling resistance is acceptably good keeping in mind the puncture protection, I can do with more comfort. But still very happy with my pruchase despite paying double the price due to international shipping costs.

The installation on the rim was a little tricky. But once the tire bead was set, the wheel tire were perfect.

I ride in Brooklyn NYC about 20 miles a day so my tires see a lot of different surfaces and abuses. I ordered the 25's in blue and green and have been super happy with them. I know some people have commented these are for E Bikes only, but they work great in an urban environment on a normal bike as well. So far I have not seen any abnormal wear and they provide solid grip. I have not noticed any real rolling resistance issues due to them being soft, but then again I've only ridden them in cold weather. Also love the colored stripes on the side, really adds some cosmetic enhancement to your ride. For the price this is a great tire.

Parfait ,pas de crevaison jusqu'à l usure.. vraiment content de ce produit

These are supposed to be entry training tires. I don't think they are good to be used with trainers though, the compound is balanced too much towards grip than wear resistance.

Har uppgraderat fälgarna på min landsvägshoj och gått upp i bredd på däcken. Hojen går lika snabbt än tidigare om inte snabbare men komforten är bättre. Bra grepp även när det varit lite blött på vägarna.

Good tyres for Aussie conditions

Lasted not even 3 months in a city environment with cyclists lanes before a tear started to form. I used it on a Pixie type of bike. I was expecting more durability there given the brand. 1 star.
