Got continental ultra race, 23c … First trip out on them and flat!!! Puncture protection not very good so far!!! Had the gator skins before these and no problems at all!!
I bought a set of Continental Four Seasons. I think they are great tires, but both of them started to unravel. A nylon string came off the tire and tangled in the brakes. I went back to the store and they told me, of course, that I needed a new one. It happened with one and then the other one is doing the same thing. I was not going to buy a new tire so I just pulled the string until I saw no more string. Is it dangerous to ride with this problem? They are about 8 months old and I had to throw one away. These tires are expensive and I think it’s a shame they have this problem. Is there any warranty or something?
I dont know about all the other Contis, but the Ultra Gators have given me 10,000 before blowout (3 months on the treads alone!) with only 8-10 flats, half probably due to improper tube install. But damn, 10,000 miles!!! Just thought I would let every know that, as I have spent alot of money on other tires to come to this conclusion, so I hope I have helped someone. Me, South Florida road/tour, 700 x’s 25’s.
Best tires out there.

Just wished they would put an arrow of rotation on the side of the tire 🙂

Continental Grand Sport Folding is impossible to put on

I hope they are better than my ‘City Ride’ tyres from this manufacturer.
Utter shit.
