A Four-Season Road Tyre for Training and Competition in Any Condition

The Continental Grand Prix 4-Season is an all-weather road clincher tyre designed for riders who train and race year-round and cannot afford to change tyres when the weather deteriorates. It is designed to wear longer than a summer performance tyre and to provide improved traction in harsh conditions and lower temperatures - the two performance characteristics that distinguish a genuinely all-season tyre from a standard road tyre that happens to be used in winter.

The 4-Season is a clincher tyre - it uses an inner tube rather than a tubeless setup. For riders on rims that are not set up for tubeless or who prefer the straightforward roadside repair of a tube swap, the clincher format provides the practical simplicity that many road cyclists still prefer for their daily and all-weather training tyres.

The tyre is available in four widths - 700x23, 700x25, 700x28, and 700x32 - covering the range from narrower road racing widths through to wider all-road options. TPI varies by size - 240 TPI for the narrower sizes and 330 TPI for the wider sizes, reflecting different casing constructions optimised for the specific demands of each width. Maximum PSI varies by width - 120 PSI for 700x23, 115 PSI for 700x25, and 102 PSI for 700x28 and 700x32. Weights range from 220g at the lightest to 320g at the widest size.

Note: This is a differentiator flag for the Continental range in this catalog. The Grand Prix 4-Season is a clincher (inner tube) tyre - not tubeless ready. The Grand Prix 5000 S TR and Grand Prix 5000 All Season TR written earlier are tubeless ready. Ensure the correct version is displayed for customer clarity.

Tread and Sidewall Protection, High TPI, and All-Season Traction

Flat protection covers both the tread and sidewall - the two most common puncture locations on a road tyre. Tread and sidewall protection together provide meaningfully better resistance to puncture damage from the grit, glass, and sharp debris that road surfaces accumulate more heavily in wet and wintry conditions compared to dry summer riding.

The TPI casing varies with size - 240 TPI on narrower widths and 330 TPI on wider widths. Both are high thread count specifications that produce a supple casing for good rolling efficiency and road feel - qualities that all-season tyres in lower price tiers often sacrifice in favour of additional protection layers at the cost of ride quality.

The tyre is specifically designed to provide improved traction in lower temperatures - a meaningful distinction from standard summer tyres where the rubber compound's optimal operating temperature is warm road surfaces in summer conditions. In lower temperatures, standard performance tyre compounds become harder and provide noticeably less grip. The Grand Prix 4-Season's compound is formulated to maintain better traction at the temperatures typical of autumn, winter, and early spring road riding.

What are the maximum PSI limits for each width?

Maximum PSI is 120 for 700x23, 115 for 700x25, and 102 for 700x28 and 700x32.

What flat protection does the Grand Prix 4-Season have?

The tyre provides flat protection across both the tread and sidewall, providing resistance to puncture damage from the debris and road contamination that all-weather and winter riding involves.

How does the Grand Prix 4-Season differ from the Grand Prix 5000 All Season TR?

The Grand Prix 4-Season is a clincher tyre requiring an inner tube, available in four widths from 700x23 to 700x32. The Grand Prix 5000 All Season TR is tubeless ready and adds BlackChili compound, Vectran Breaker protection, and LazerGrip wet traction technology. The 4-Season is the traditional clincher all-weather option while the All Season TR is the premium tubeless all-weather option.
