Continental Ultra Sport III 700x25c Black/Black Folding PureGrip - Pair (2 Tires)

Got these to mount on my triathlon bike, with the intent of only using them for training, and would install a higher quality / lighter tire for race. Having ridden them for a couple of hundred miles, in varying weather conditions, I now plan to simply leave them on for the race as well. Can you spend a lot more money, and get a higher quality tire? Of course. Would that make me significantly faster, or more comfortable? Not really. Since I'm only sponsored by our household budget, I have no regrets sticking with these throughout the rest of the season.I got these in 700x25, have rim brakes, and run them at approximately 80psi.

This set of 25-622 tires works fine. You just have to know how to install them. I hope they will last 10 years like the Konda set they are replacing.

Rolls nice great flat proof protection. It mounts easy. Traction seems to be good, dry and wet. It’s not as light as some of the other options but you do get better protection.

I think the Conti GP5000s are just fantastic performers although they're on the fragile side and get pretty cut up well before they're fully worn. But the price of them has gone bananas so I've given these a try.These are a noticeable step down in terms of speed and handling. A step, not five steps. And they're less than half the price. I think the trade off is a good one. They seem to be built more durably, too, which adds to the value factor.So unless unless you think you need every last bit of performance., which most of us really don't, these are a fine choice.

Great tires for the money. They aren't as good as newer and more expensive tires but for the price range they are great. My previous rear tire lasted over 3k miles.

I installed one on the rear wheel and so far so good. 😊

This is not the first time I have bought these tires. This may be my 5th or 6th pair. They are great. They are light, have great traction, they fold (I save my older ones as an emergency spare on 100 mile rides.), soft rubber for smooth rides. I have gotten very long mileage out of these tires. This last pair I have put at least 14,000 miles on them. I replaced simply because the tires had nicks from glass etc, and on my last flat i noticed a thread on the side wall from extreme wear as well as riding on a flat. What I like the most is they are light and fast and smooth.Continental has other tires that have an inner layer to prevent flats. but are heavier and stiffer. Great tires if that is what you want.

Solid, holds air well, but little too solid that makes putting them on wheels a painful.
