ContinentalContact Plus ETRTO (42-584) 27.5 x 1.6 REFLEX Bike Tires, Black

One of the best tires I've ever tried, never had a flat.

Hello there,I bought 2 of these for my Diamondback Overdrive 27.5 tires. I love the quality of the tires!! I tried to re-use the tubes from my MTB--the ones that were installed but they seemed too big/ too fat they were bulging out the sides.So, plan B. Figured I would do some research a.k.a Google it !! Maybe they have matching tubes for these Continentals??I will leave a follow up review once I have my question answered.Just to clarify..... This is not a negative review towards the Seller or the Manufacturer!! I plan on buying 2 more of these tires but in 26inch for my second Ebike I'm building.Happy New Year To Everyone!! And make it a safe one !!!!!!!Aaron

I used this tire on my 700c bike for over 4500 miles with hardly any visible wear and not a single puncture despite all the goatheads in my region, so when I ended up getting a 650b bike I figured I'd give this a go. Well, before these tires arrived I had a chance to ride about a hundred miles on the tires that the bike came with and got a feel for how a light-ish tire felt on this new bike and it was a blast to ride! Those factory tires ended up falling victim to goatheads in only a hundred miles so I put these on as soon as they arrived. BRICKS. All of the fun of the bike was completely gone, it is amazing how big a difference putting two pounds of rubber plus tubes around each wheel makes. I rode this for a hundred miles and realized that the fun of the bike was more important than absolute puncture protection and went tubeless with some WTB Byway tires. So much more fun to ride and the orange seal has prevented a leak for about 300 miles so far.So, in case that was too much to read the main point is this: If puncture protection is your TOP priority over all else you will get a great value out of these tires. Seriously, not ONE flat in the 700c x 37 size that I had for 4500 miles. But, these are so heavy you will be amazing how different it makes your bike feel. The roll quietly and well at high speed, but it will take you all day to get there. These tires will also last forever and are probably a good touring option for high loads and long rides.One more note, on my 21mm wide rims these tires were no where near close to 42mm. I measured them after riding about 100 miles and they were only about 39mm wide, barely any wider than the 700c x 37mm tires on my other bike.

I put this on my hybrid bike which I exclusively use for paved rides. I was surprised how much better it rolls than the OEM tire and grip in the turns is greatly improved. The reflective whit ring on each side is very effective and a nice bonus.Highly recommended

I put these tires on my mountain bike the make it more 'street friendly' and was pleased with the increase in performance (speed) and the overall performance/durability. I've put a couple hundred miles on the tires over the past few months and there are no signs of wear. One really nice and somewhat unique feature is the reflective strip around the wall of the tire - it really does increase visibility and since it is on the sidewall it helps with side visibility which lights and other reflectors do not. Would definitely recommend these for someone looking for good durable tires for a commuter or fitness bike.

AWESOME! We live in Northern Utah and every time we leave the house on bikes, flat tire! You absolutely cannot ride around here without flattening tires. Finally I broke down and got these tires for my son's bike who rides several miles to work and back. After 3-4 months, NO FLATS!! It's a huge record for us! I will say that I combined these tires with Mr. Tuffy liners so I don't know that it's ALL the tires, but I will still be outfitting the rest of my bikes with these tires (and the liner). So glad to have FINALLY solved that problem.

I put a pair of these (size 650B) on my commuter bike in February of 2021 and they are still going strong (with the same Continental tubes). I average about 70 miles a week so they've lasted well over 7,000 miles. I try to keep them at around 85 psi, even though the max comfort rating on the tire is 65 psi.

Absolute disgrace! Buyer beware! I bought two wheels for my rims that take 27.5x1.2 tires and was excited to put these Continental tires on my bike. Got the two tires in. Properly labeled as such. Struggled to put them on. Then measured to find out they were not 27.5x1.2 but were 26! What are you people selling here? Factory misprints and defects! I'm not picky but come on! Look at the photos and see for yourself. Both tires I received had this issue!
