I think some people may be confusing them up with Continental Grand Prix Urbans which are folding and indeed amazing.

we're not, we're talking about commuting / touring / all purpose tyres here! They're great.

I have them on 3 bikes, beater, tourer, cargo. not a single puncture in 2 years plus of daily use on any bike. They are significantly lighter faster and cheaper than a lot of similar tyres currently available IME.

I'm surprised these get recommended so much given they're wire bead, or does that not matter as much any more? In my head they should be heavy/slow because of it
