Continental Ultra Sport III - Black/Brown - Road Bike Tire | Versatile Road Tire with Modern Tread Design - E25 Ebike Rated - PureGrip, 2 Pack

Smooth and supple for minimal rolling resistance. Comes folded in a box. This set came with 2 tires packaged individually and wrapped together in an outer clear bag. Love the all-black look (as opposed to colored walls on other tires). The lettering is gray with yellow accents. and appears only once on each side of the tire. Has clear markings of size, PSI, and BAR. Also bears the e25 badge, indicating it's rated to use with e-bikes with a 16-25mph speed rating. Rolling resistance of just 14.1 watts and excellent wet surface grip make this an excellent tire for the price, and a good all-around performer for enthusiasts and commuters. I just put them on my bike, and it feels like a big upgrade! (Vs. my older Vittorio Saffiro.)

Amazon is great for buying bicycle accessories without the bike store markup, particularly for this two-pack. These are foldable name brand tires (Continental has been around more than a century) that serve well for the price. Continental has an extensive tire line depending on how much you are willing to spend. Being entry level, don't expect the puncture protection you would get with the Top Contact II or the Gatorskin. As advertised they do grip well, handy for Minnesota winters. Getting that last bit in the rim during mounting can be difficult as they fit tight. I manage it with a thin edged tire lever. I did notice a small divot in the rubber, a manufacturing blemish I expect won't affect performance.

I've been riding these for years now, I also have gp5000s for special stuff but these are a hidden gem! Quality and just a hair more rolling resistance and wt. Amazing trade off for the price. Put a set of latex tubes in there or even tpu and they will surprise you.

Good value for the money. Far so good. Tread seems adequate for city streets.

Replaced my old worn tires with these and I have no complaints. They arrived quickly, installed easily, and haven't had any flats yet. Which is amazing because I ride through a construction zone most days. Will buy more!

Update 04/2025- after 1400 miles, I've started getting flats. I haven't changed anything and am riding my typical routes. I cannot say for sure that the tire is wearing out. However, this most recent flat left me stranded about a 1.5 miles from home. I rode the flat tire home, no other option. I forgot I used my spare tube on last week's flat. I compromised the sidewall riding on the flat tire. Not the tires fault. Not designed to operate without air. I believe after 1400 miles the casing is beginning to wear. These are made in China Continental tires. Continental's better tires are made in Germany. I suggest spending the extra money over these tires. I bought likely the cheapest Continental Tire you could buy for a bicycle. I have had zero flats in several hundred miles. Maybe closer to 1000 miles. That's all I expected. A not heavy, durable tire. I ride on the shoulder of country highways littered with debris. Tire is holding up well enough I am considering leaving my flat repair kit at home.

These tires have been excellent. I've only had one flat in over 3000 miles of riding on crappy Texas roads, and it was a pinch flat due to running too low a pressure. I spend a fair bit of time riding on the shoulder of busier roadways where there are lots of rocks and glass, and it honestly doesn't phase the Ultra Sports. I'm about 185lbs, my bike is about 21 lbs and I run the 700c X 28 at around 80 PSI. They are still not the most comfortable tire, but they are super durable. My friend's bikes with GP5K's definitely feel faster and more comfortable, but they are often replacing tires due to damage. The slightly higher rolling resistance hasn't stopped me from achieving many top 10's and KOM's on local Strava segments. Sure I COULD be faster with GP5K's but with the Ultra Sports I literally do not worry about the road surface. Heck I've even done a fair bit of gravel riding on them, and while they suck at that, they never punctured. Would recommend these to anyone who wants a decently quick and cheap puncture resistant tire.

Works as well as more expensive tires that I've used on the bicycle previously.

Bastante bien, de buena calidad, se adhiere bien al pavimento, muy recomendable

Tires colors does match the one on promo pictures.
