ContinentalUltra Sport III Folding PureGrip Set of 2

The only road tires I've used, simply because I've never had any issues with them. Don't get many punctures and seem to be fast enough.

These tires have been excellent. I've only had one flat in over 3000 miles of riding on crappy Texas roads, and it was a pinch flat due to running too low a pressure. I spend a fair bit of time riding on the shoulder of busier roadways where there are lots of rocks and glass, and it honestly doesn't phase the Ultra Sports. I'm about 185lbs, my bike is about 21 lbs and I run the 700c X 28 at around 80 PSI. They are still not the most comfortable tire, but they are super durable. My friend's bikes with GP5K's definitely feel faster and more comfortable, but they are often replacing tires due to damage. The slightly higher rolling resistance hasn't stopped me from achieving many top 10's and KOM's on local Strava segments. Sure I COULD be faster with GP5K's but with the Ultra Sports I literally do not worry about the road surface. Heck I've even done a fair bit of gravel riding on them, and while they suck at that, they never punctured. Would recommend these to anyone who wants a decently quick and cheap puncture resistant tire.

Happy with the tires and happy with the price and delivery time. Although I have installed these several times before on other bikes and this set was much harder to get over the edge of the rim than usual. I think the bead diameter was a little out of tolerance.

Nice item and fast shipping

They’re heavy, they may only last a season but they have great grip and confidence in the turns

Got two pair of Continental UltraSport III's for $ 57.90, that's less than one 5000 which is my touring tire. So, I'll use the UltraSports around town and use the 5000's when I tour. They look good but I'll see how they do. I'll also use one of them as a spare when I tour.

I put one of these tires on my road commuter bike and it worked fairly well for about eight months. Then I started getting strange punctures on the innertube so I switched to the second tire that came in the set. And I continued to get flats with small strange tears in the innertube. After ruling out the rim, I realized it was due to these small cracks that appeared on the sidewall of the Tires. Very, very disappointing, and lots of walks home. I will be investing in a better and stronger tire in the future.
