Continental Ultra Sport III 700x25c Black/Black Folding PureGrip - Pair (2 Tires)

Amazon is great for buying bicycle accessories without the bike store markup, particularly for this two-pack. These are foldable name brand tires (Continental has been around more than a century) that serve well for the price. Continental has an extensive tire line depending on how much you are willing to spend. Being entry level, don't expect the puncture protection you would get with the Top Contact II or the Gatorskin. As advertised they do grip well, handy for Minnesota winters. Getting that last bit in the rim during mounting can be difficult as they fit tight. I manage it with a thin edged tire lever. I did notice a small divot in the rubber, a manufacturing blemish I expect won't affect performance.

Replaced my old worn tires with these and I have no complaints. They arrived quickly, installed easily, and haven't had any flats yet. Which is amazing because I ride through a construction zone most days. Will buy more!

Very good tire for the price, lasts long and good wear and puncture resistance.

These are excellent tires, but very hard to mount. I would hate to need to replace a tube on one in the field.

This is not the first time I have bought these tires. This may be my 5th or 6th pair. They are great. They are light, have great traction, they fold (I save my older ones as an emergency spare on 100 mile rides.), soft rubber for smooth rides. I have gotten very long mileage out of these tires. This last pair I have put at least 14,000 miles on them. I replaced simply because the tires had nicks from glass etc, and on my last flat i noticed a thread on the side wall from extreme wear as well as riding on a flat. What I like the most is they are light and fast and smooth. Continental has other tires that have an inner layer to prevent flats. but are heavier and stiffer. Great tires if that is what you want.

They ride well, been on the bike since the last of April 2025. Reasonable price.

Wanted to replace my worn-out stock Kenda tires my bicycle came with. Did some research on the Continental brand and came to the conclusion that these Ultra Sport III's were quality tires for the price, especially for a two pack. My bike now rides like a dream and because of the high TPI of these tires it significantly reduces the rumbling of all the imperfections of the road. Cornering is buttery smooth and they also handle quite well in wet conditions too. Keep in mind all of this is in comparison to my original stock tires, there's probably higher quality out there. But these Ultra Sport III's seem to suit my needs well, definitely recommend giving them a try.

I've put about 2000 miles on a set of these and they still do great. They are pretty slick, but that's what I wanted. Great for road cycling. Have only have a slow leak on one tube, so, they seems to protect really well.
