Continental Grand Prix 5000
Benchmark all-round race tire. 25mm is the most popular all-round size; 28-32mm is the best fit for endurance and rough roads.
Continental
Continental Grand Prix 4-Season
Built for winter training, wet weather, and bad roads. 28mm is the popular all-season choice; 25mm if you want a faster feel year-round.

Continental Gatorskin
Reference long-mileage training and commuting tire. Heavier and slower than the GP 5000 but very flat-resistant. 28mm balances comfort and rolling speed for daily riding.
Continental
Continental Ultra Sport III
Affordable training and entry-level race tire. Good first upgrade from stock OEM tires on a sub-$1500 road bike. 25-28mm is the sweet spot.
Continental
Continental Competition Tubular
Pro-only tubular. Requires tubular-specific rims and gluing. Used at Paris-Roubaix and Flanders. Skip unless you already race on tubulars.
Continental
Continental Terra Speed
Fast-rolling gravel tire for hardpack and mixed road/gravel. 40mm is the most popular size. Step up to Terra Trail or Race King for looser surfaces.

Continental Trail King
Aggressive trail and enduro tire with strong wet-rock grip. Heavier and slower-rolling than the Cross King - pick it for technical descents and aggressive lines.
Continental

Heavy-duty commuter and e-bike tire. The reflex sidewall version adds night visibility. 700x32 or 700x37 are the most common urban sizes.
Continental
Continental Ride Tour
Value city/trekking tire with broad size coverage including kids' wheel sizes. Good budget replacement on a hybrid or commuter; step up to Contact Plus if you ride a heavy e-bike.

Continental Race 28 Tube (Presta 42mm)
Standard 700C road tube. 42mm valve length covers most rim depths up to ~30mm; deeper aero rims need an extender or a longer-stem version.

Standard 27.5" MTB Presta tube. Sister tubes available for 26" and 29". Use as a backup even on tubeless setups.
Continental
Continental MTB 29 Tube 2-Pack (Presta 42mm)
29er MTB tube for modern XC and trail wheels. This two-pack covers the common 29 x 1.75-2.5 range and makes sense as a spare even if you usually ride tubeless.
Continental
Continental 20" Bicycle Tube (Schrader 34mm)
Best for kids' bikes, compact folders, and other small-wheel bikes using narrow 20-inch tires. The Schrader valve works with the same pump head most riders already own.
