Reviews for Continental Ride Tour Tire (Black) (700c) (42mm) [01011570000]

This tire is fantastic for general road and paved bike trail use, with sufficient traction for occasional use on loose gravel or dirt surfaces. The center tire pattern has a directional serrated tread, but rolls very smoothly on hard surfaces, no ripple whatsoever. The off-center tread pattern has a more aggressive tread which provides additional traction when making hard turns, especially on loose or wet surfaces. This tire wears extremely well and is also very reasonably priced. As one of the few Michelin tires still available in a 27"×1.25" (ISO 630) size, this has been my go-to tire for my "vintage" Nishiki bike for several years. The Extra PunctureBelt feature is a bonus - I have yet to experience a flat with these tires. Highly recommended for general, all-around use.
