  • Continental Contact Urbans

    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

  • Granted, they are not supple road tyres - but compared to most other commuter/touring tyres they are generally much lighter, the wet grip is outstanding and puncture resistance is very good ime. Also e-bike rated for 50km/h, and with a rated load between 85-135 kg/tyre, which means they work for cargo and tandem applications as well.

    Grand Prix Urbans are excellent tyres as well - but does only come in 622x35mm

    tl;dr - as an every day cyclist (not training, nor racing) I have yet to find a better tyre.
    (though I would like a lugged winter version that comes in 406x50 and 559x50)
