Continental Unisex Contact Tyre

2023 Jamis Allegro 29 rims, The Kenda tires that came with it were good yet worn, and the back tire had a tear in the tread, so it was time to fix that issue. These tires fit perfectly, look great, and handle amazingly. With the Kenda's I kept them around 80 psi 80% of the time, as I prefer an solid ride, but with these I get the same feel from then as I do the Kenda's at around 65-70psi, and atm running them at 60psi today. Very comfy. And yes, that tread design? Does infact spread the water, far better then the Kenda's did. Thank you Continental: for tire perfection, and thank you for better road traction!

I love the feel of the tires on the bike but will probably try to upgrade further on width to see if they fit once these are ridden for a while. I replaces 23s with these 28s and they fit perfectly. Very nice looking too and not at all difficult to install. I assumed wired beads may be more difficult to mount but these went on relatively easily and then inserting tubes went without a hitch. Priced right too.

Some continentals are tight but these went right on without levers and they seem very sturdy and they roll just fine. They feel a little harsh relative to the lighter weight tires I had on there. Part of that might be that they are narrower than claimed. On the cr-18 rims I have on the bike they are closer to 28 than the 32mm they are sized at.

1200 miles on them so far. Great tire all the way around for my daily commute of 26 miles. They keep solid traction in the rain, they are quiet and offer pretty good puncture resistance. Although I've gotten the occasional flat. Nothing even close to being able to say it isn't resistant, but I wouldn't say they are puncture proof. The wear on them is great so far. With over 1000 miles on them and they still look new on the treads. This is the 2nd set I've had, and my next set will be too.

Background. Installed these on my old road bike which I’m converting to be a Dad-bod park/trail/family-ride cruiser.Put these wire bead tires on shimano R501 (tiagra) wheels and they fit the bill nicely, very nicely. Took a chance on the 32s, but they inflated to just a hair over 28 so they easily fit my tire-limited frame.Really enjoying the comfort on tarmac, lower pressure for crushed gravel trail. I’m about 500mi in and they are going strong. No noticable wear at this point and I am not a small rider (225).Highly recommend. Great value.

Had these tires mounted and ridden about 500 miles. Tread life is decent but the side walls have dry rotted and cracked dramatically in a short time period. I now have to replace them after about 8 months. Bike is normally stored in a dry climate out of the elements. Pretty bummed on these for a reputable name.

I bought a used "hard core" aero (sprint) racing bike and wanted to soften it up for longer rides. It came with 23mm baldies and wanted go up to 28mm (the max for my rims) touring. I read that some 28mm's are really hard to install on aero rims, but these were EASY. They did not require a bead jack for my Giant aluminum PA2 aero rims, just some strong thumbs. Mine don't have the reflective band, so they look great and ride exactly as I need them to. The Contact's tread is very similar to the Conti Contact Plus I have on my hybrid. They are crowned, not flat, so the actual tire surface touching the road isn't much greater than the 23mm's. But the difference is in the cornering and stability. You'll have a lot better ride & confidence if you encounter any sand or dirt on the pavement. I'm giving these an A+++.

excellent all around tire , best on pavement . very quiet with excellent rolling resistance , this is in comparision with many other tires over a long time frame .
