Continental Touring Plus Rigid Tyre

FANTASTIC TYRES, GREAT VALUE AND SPEEDY DELIVERY.

Great tyres at a very good price, delivery was very speedy, great deal all round.

I have been impressed by these Tyres.

Bought originally by my wife for daily cycling & touring from Tissington to the Guild Wheel to name just a Couple. She has had no punctures in two years.

I've now decided to change my Tyres to these for my Hybrid.
They are also fantastic Value for Money.

Been running a 28mm on my rear since 2012 on my shopping/pub/touring 20 yr old 531 framed racer. 4 years & 4-5K miles later it has only just become unridable now following its first ever puncture and it had double the life of previous Conti gator skins and totally surpassed them for Puncture resistance. Still some centre rubber left but I noticed the rear of the bike was becoming unstable especially under load and upon close examination the sidewall was failing. Was very tight to fit originally - need a couple of 125mm long velcro straps (far better than cable ties) to compress it into the rim well and hold it whilst using the tyre levers. Grip is good enough with fair trade off between weight/rolling & puncture resistance. Withstood heavy loading from the food shopping. Needs a minimum 80 PSI kept up to keep it moving well, gives a ride on the hard side but one I generally prefer and one I'm used to from my ALU & carbon fast bike anyway. Overall fair-good value for my money. Put this review up as it was getting some negative flack from some other reviews that seemed a tad harsh from my experience. Currently trying a same size Schwalbe touring plus on the rear.
