Product Information

Now, 25mm is the narrowest tyre that typically comes fitted to road bikes and many bikes have 28mm tyres, with clearance on some of the latest bikes for 32mm rubber and beyond. In testing, I’ve considered it a small price to pay for the overall longevity and performance of the tyre. Plus, outside of summer weather, many will find it preferable to the heightened risk of punctures you get from an even lighter construction.

Each is interspersed with curved grooves into the compound.

Inch dimensions are widely used in both MTB sport and English language countries. Therefore, we will continue to use these specifications for all tires. But only in decimal form, e.g. 26 x 2.25. Experience tells us that nowadays very few users are familiar with the classical fractional inch dimensions, such as 28 x 1 5/8 x 1 3/8.This is controlled by an ISO international standard and ensures that any tyre of a designated diameter should fit on any rim of the same designated diameter. Continental also claims the Vectran breaker is more durable, flexible and lighter than an equivalent nylon puncture-resistance layer. While gravel tyres may appear to share much in common with cyclocross tyres, UCI regulations for cyclocross racing dictate that CX tyres must be 33mm or narrower for competition.

The Max Grip Silca compound has been developed to prioritise long life and grip, and features a distinctive tread pattern.On the bike, the tyre offers up good grip, especially in the wet. Tip your bike into a downhill bend, and you get sure-footedness and confident adhesion. Continental is keen to show where its tyres are made – the branding is printed over the exposed DuraSkin puncture protection layer. Ashley Quinlan​ / Our Media I’ve been running the Grand Prix 4 Seasons for almost six months now, and have covered the better part of 1,500km. Puncture resistance is provided by a Vectran breaker – Continental claims Vectran is inspired by spider web threads, with the aim of being “tear-resistant” (and therefore resistant to puncturing) without adding too much weight.

The three-digit number after the dash is the more important. This is the bead diameter at which the tyre fits onto the rim.

How do you know what size tyres will fit your bike? It should be easy: buy exactly the same model of tyre as those already on the bike. Of course, this isn’t much help if identical tyres aren’t readily available, if you fancy something different or if you’re looking for replacements in unusual and hard-to-find sizes. When looking to buy new bicycle tyres, you will need to know the size of the wheel, with mountain bikes generally requiring 27.5” bike tyres or the slightly larger 29” tyre. Road bikes on the other hand require 700c bike tyres, such as the Continental Grand Prix or Gatorskin.
