Continental Contact Plus City Tire - Wire

Is the Continental Contact Plus City Tire Right for Your Urban Bike?

The Continental Contact Plus City Tire is purpose-built for urban cyclists who need a reliable tire on pavement, whether they're commuting on a standard city bike or an electrically-assisted one. The ECE-R75 certification verifies this tire meets the required safety and performance standards for e-bike use, accounting for the higher loads and sustained speeds that e-bikes place on tires that unrated alternatives cannot handle safely. The tread pattern is engineered for paved urban surfaces, delivering efficient rolling on smooth asphalt with a puncture protection layer that handles the glass, gravel, and road debris typical of city riding.

At 26x2.20, this tire fits standard 26-inch city and utility bike wheels with a wide profile that improves comfort and stability on the rough and uneven surfaces common to urban environments. The wire bead construction is robust and holds its shape reliably over years of daily use, which is the priority on a commuter build rather than the weight savings of a folding bead. If you ride a city bike or e-bike daily and want a tire that simply handles everything a city throws at it, the Contact Plus City is built to deliver exactly that.
