Strengths: Tough
Extremely durable
Grip well in the wetWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: These tyres are on my cheap hybrid bike which bought when I first got into cycling. For a while it did reasonable distances but now I only use to ride to the gym, shops etc.
It doesn't do big miles now - perhaps a couple of hundred per year. I bought them to replace the Kendas which came with the bike and started to disintegrate after about 18 months.
They were pricy at the time for a leisure bike but These tyres are extraordinary in that they're now 7 years old, have done about 3000 miles, have had one puncture and still look perfect. The tread's fine, there's no sidwall cracking and they hold their pressure well (original conti tubes)I wish my road bike tyres would last half as long!
Favorite Ride: Anywhere in Cape Town
Price Paid:
$35.00
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: Kenda
Bike Setup: Giant Cypress hybrid

Strengths: Perfect commuter tire. Low rolling resist. Also if you ride in rain alot they probably don't kick up as much spray.Weaknesses: primarily for pavement. Haven't ridden them offroad, but I can tell you they have no grip on the snow.Bottom Line: I've ridden these for almost a year (3000+ miles). 26x2.1. I ride them primarily in the winter on my MTB commuter bike. They seem to be very tough as I have not had a flat yet. Probably one of the best MTB commuter tires.
Favorite Ride: More down than up.
Price Paid:
$25.00
Purchased At: BikeTiresDirect
Similar Products Used: Conti Grand Canyon (14000 miles on 1 set), Town & Country (1000 miles and I tossed them in the garbage). Maxxis Holy Roller (for when it snows)
Bike Setup: Kona Cinder Cone. Old school over the bar shifters. 7 speed Chromoly steel urban assault tank. There's a noticeable dent in the front of an SUV to prove it.

Strengths: Nice riding tireWeaknesses: Showed relatively quick wear on the cinder rail-trails (but they do label it "CITY")Bottom Line: We had the 700x32 size on our tandem for just about a year. Nice riding tire, no punctures. We actually liked this tire over the regular CONTACT tire (non-"CITY" version) even on the cinder rail-trails.
Similar Products Used: Continental "regular" CONTACT tire; older Continental TOP TOURING 2000.
Bike Setup: Canondale road tandem; 200 and 130 lbs. riders.
