The picture shows the state of the tyre at the end of the day. Overall I’m very impressed with this tyre.
What is the Max tire pressure for the continental competition?
The Continental Competition is an all-round tubular tire and is the first tubular tire I’m testing (after a lot of requests). The Continental Competition features a 3/180 casing with a max pressure of 175 psi, a Vectran puncture protection insert, and…
