The tire was ordered with Wheel and Sprocket and arrived just a few days after placing order, For years, I have used the Continental Contact Plus tires on my hybrid bicycle. As I primarily ride on bike paths and local streets, they have decent tread, provide good traction, and good flat protection. I estimate I typically ride them 3000 miles maybe more before replacing them and have had very few flats thru the years. I recommend the tire and Wheel and Sprocket Inc.

This 622-37 or 700c-35 is a solid feeling tire. I had issues with a lighter-weight tire and road bumps being harsh and occasional flats so I figured I'd try this one--even though the negative reviews said they had lots of problems installing. it has extra thickness on the main tread area and absorbs shock well.It is a tight fitting tire compared to some others I have tried, but if you take a look at the video another person posted this technique works without tools.Start with tube in the tire but only inflated enough so tube is not flaccid.Put both sides of tire into rim at valve and pinch beads together and tuck in all the way around.Near the last portion pull one bead over the rim--do this before you get to far--and ensure tire is tucked in.Check beads ... MoreThis 622-37 or 700c-35 is a solid feeling tire.

The last bead will slip over rim, and it's done.No tools needed, and being it's tight it sets itself into place quite well.

These were the third set of tires I tried on my bike, and I can't say enough how superior they are to the others.These are very fast on paved surfaces and packed gravel, handle water very well, feel "light", and do an excellent job taking up road shock: Very comfortable ride! Uncanny, really.High puncture resistance and reflective bands were essential to me. These tires are safety rated very high, but they are a nimble feeling and riding tire.What I didn't expect was how well they climb. It's like I shed a few pounds from my bike. Really makes the bike a delight on moderate inclines. I'm am super impressed.Stats:-Trek FX Sport 5-Tire size: 700x32-Tire PSI: 65-85 lbs (I'm running at 75 now).My riding: Mostly paved trails, curvy, some packed gravel and ... MoreThese were the third set of tires I tried on my bike, and I can't say enough how superior they are to the others.These are very fast on paved surfaces and packed gravel, handle water very well, feel "light", and do an excellent job taking up road shock: Very comfortable ride!

Small to moderate grades. I probably average 9 MPH most rides. These are rated up to 50MPH on an e-bike, so I expect great reliability.
