Winter riding can feel pretty intimidating, whether it's your first time trying it out or you're a "seasoned" cold-weather cycling veteran. As the first point of contact with the cold and icy ground, you want to feel confident that your tires are holding the road with maximum grip. If you cycle in winter conditions that change from snow to ice to bare roads, the Top Contact II is definitely the tire for you.
If you spend some time online reading the reviews, you'll see there is unanimous agreement that Continental Top Contact Winter II Premium tires are total game changers. Like a winter car tire, the Top Contact Winter II tires uses "micro-sipe" tread technology (thousands of teeny tiny treads that grab onto ice) and a softer durometer compound that sticks like glue to icy roads. We've tried them, and we swear by them. For the winter cyclist this is an absolute must-have.
Handmade in Germany with proprietary Vectran technology, the Top Contact II tires have an ultra-light, flexible protective strip that offers incredible resistance to punctures (the last thing you want to be stuck with on a cold winter day!) without adding rolling resistance or compromising the high performing abilities and sure-footed feel.
- Micro-siping tread pattern for sticky control on icy roads
