Continental Bicycle Road Tire - Grand Prix 4000

These bad boys are great. I've been riding/racing them since they were the Grand Prix 3000s. Great Price is the best part and the ability to pump to 120 psi.

even better than the Conti Gatorskin, which is also an excellent tire.

Continental 4000 tires are a steal when you can get them for under [$]. I paid [$] for a [$] tire. This is probably one of the most durable, longest lasting, smooth rolling, racing tires on the market.

I had heard quite a bit about this tire and finally decided to give it a try. I have only put 50 miles on them so far, so I cannot comment on the durability, but I have some initial impressions. Excellent grip in dry conditions (have not tested in wet conditions),which is probably due to the soft outer compound. This also makes the ride very comfortable. Other tires used in the past or currently on other bikes are: Michelin ProRace, Schwalbe Stelvio & Hutchinson Fusion

As a competitive mountain biker I put in a lot of miles on a road bike during the week when I can't get to the trails. I have been using Continental road bike tires for years and the GP 4000 performs just as well as I have come to expect from Conti tires. Durable, light, grippy, and resistant to flats in the same package.
