CONTINENTAL GRAND PRIX 4000 TIRE
Compound
The Grand Prix 4000 works on every road surface, transforming the demands of different styles of riding and supplies extremely long-term performance. It also achieves expectations in precision and production quality. The new reference standard for racing tyres. The new puncture resistance, The all new Vectran breaker belt, developed and patented by Continental, surpasses even the famous puncture resistance of the former leader in this category, the GP3000. The extremely strong Vectran fabrics are more flexible and lighter than all other puncture protection materials. Vectran offers more resistance to cuts than Aramid, is five times as strong as steel and features less weight than a nylon double breaker. It also maintains strength in the wet

I have ridden on quite a few tires and this tire is the best yet! The other tires were a different compound and didn't last..these last twice as long! I feel like I am not riding on anything!
I have used these tires for everything from long-haul rides to crits, and I love 'em. I find that they strike the perfect balance between supple, sticky handling and longevity. Neither so hard as to increase road noise and corner poorly, nor so soft as to get chewed up by debris. With rotation, I have gotten 3k miles out of a pair, which makes them a good value as well. Highly recommended.
Pros
- Fast
- Grippy
Cons
Best Uses
- Commuting
- Road
I've had these tires for about 6 weeks, so have only put <200 miles on them, but they are the best I've used. They ride fast and smooth, yet are soft and grippy, too. All the good reviews seem to hold true and they are well worth the extra expense.
Pros
- Durable
- Fast
- Smooth
- Sticky
Cons
Best Uses
- Road
These tires are as sticky as glue but as smooth as butter and fast as lightning!
Pros
- Feel safe on curves
- Good roller
Cons
- Little pricey
Best Uses
Although a little pricey, this is the best clincher tire I ever ridden. It rolls really well, and even in tight curves it feels really safe.
Other tires I tried are Michelin Pro Race 3 and one or two kenda.
