Continental is a German company and most, if not all, of their premium tires are handmade in Germany. Continental has been in the tire business since the early 1900's and produces tires for automobiles, trucks, motorcycles and bicycles. Continental makes bicycle tires for any application you can imagine from serious off-road to tour-level racing.
Grand Prix Attack & Force
This is Continental's most advanced road tire set. The tires come as a pair with different tire designs for the front and rear. The tread compound of the 22mm GP Attack (front) is designed for excellent grip, both on dry and wet roads. On the rear wheel, the GP Force at 23mm wide guarantees superior power transmission. The GP Attack Force Pair comes with or without the Black Chili compound and individual tires are available for replacements.

Grand Prix 4Season
Modeled on the Grand Prix 3000, the Continental Grand Prix 4-Season provides greater puncture resistance thanks to the Duraskin fabric. Light-weight racing tires are especially susceptible to damage on the sidewall. The Duraskin fabric reinforces the sidewall without significantly adding to the weight of the tire. The tire compound has also been modified for all-year-round use. The 23mm, 25mm and 28mm versions make it possible to select the right tire for various road qualities and comfort requirements.
Contact
The Contact is the jack-of-all-trades for city and touring tires. Ultra fine carcass fabric reduces the rolling resistance while providing a comfortable ride. Continental believes in its puncture protection system and offers a 1 year guarantee against tire failure. We carry the

Continental's Black Chili Compound
