Advantages: Make an MTB better on road Disadvantages: Can be hard to find. No good off road

They seem very durable too and can be inflated to decent pressures too - I ran them at close to 100 psi

If you ride an mtb mostly on the road and can feel the energy sapping from your legs with big knobbly tyres, you could do far worse than get a pair of these!
They seem very durable too and can be inflated to decent pressures too - I ran them at close to 100 psi
They are quite rare in shops and I had to search through a few on line stores to find one that listed them and had them in stock.
Advantages: ace grip no slip Disadvantages: fairly expensive
These conti tye are simply amazing .
first of all they are so easy to fit with minimal effort any one can fit them, these tyres perform really well in both dry and wet conditions I have never had a slide on them yet,
I have always used conti tyres ever since I can remember The tread pattern is not the smae as any other tyre available it is cut with water groves to help with water dissapation which also helps keep the tyre warm when you are motoring ...

Advantages: Lightweight and fast, should be hard wearing... Disadvantages: Expensive, but worth it !
Just been for my first ride on my new ContinentalGrandPrix 4000 tyres, and thought I'd let you know about them. I know it's only a first use test, but will update this review when I've had them for a while. Also, I've assumed that if you're reading this, you have some interest and/or knowledge of bicycles. I hope that's OK...
Continental have over 100 years experience in the development and production of road and mountain bike tyres, at the Continental Two-Wheel division's technology and development centre in Korbach in Germany.
The GrandPrix 4000 road/race tyre is the sucessor to the excellent GrandPrix 3000 that I've had on my bike for 2 years or so. It's a "clincher" tyre (as opposed to a tubular tyre), so should fit most road/race wheels/rims. It was a bit of a narrow decision between these and the Continental Attack ...
