Product Information

Full details

The Continental CONTACT Plus 700c Tyre is an all-rounder designed for cyclists who ride on various terrains, from paved roads to light trails. Its key benefit is exceptional puncture protection, especially important for touring, commuting, and e-bike use. A potential caveat is its weight, which is higher than performance-oriented road tires. This tire features SafetyPlus construction for robust defense against flats, a high thread count casing for efficient rolling, and ECE-R75 certification for e-bike compatibility up to 50 km/h.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the SafetyPlus construction?

The SafetyPlus construction provides a high level of resistance to punctures and cuts, making the tire very durable and reliable for touring and e-bike use.

Is this tire suitable for racing?

While it offers good rolling efficiency for its class, its primary focus is durability and puncture protection, making it more suited for commuting, touring, and e-bikes rather than competitive road racing where weight and pure speed are paramount.

What does ECE-R75 certified mean?

It means the tire meets the safety standards set by the ECE regulation for e-bikes, specifically designed to handle speeds up to 50 km/h and the higher torque associated with electric bicycles.

What is the difference between this 700x47C and other CONTACT Plus sizes?

Different sizes cater to various bike types and frame clearances. The 700x47C (45C) is a wider option suitable for touring, trekking, and e-bikes, offering more comfort and grip than narrower variants like the 700x28C.

Can I use this tire on any 700c wheel?

It is compatible with 700c (28-inch) wheels with an ISO rim diameter of 622mm. Ensure your frame and fork have clearance for the 47mm tire width.

What is the recommended tire pressure?

The maximum inflation pressure is 58 psi. It's best to consult the tire sidewall and your riding conditions for the optimal pressure.

Troubleshooting

Tire won't hold air (tubeless setup)

Ensure the tire bead is properly seated on the rim. Check for any leaks around the valve stem or bead. Re-apply sealant if the leak persists.

Rattling sound from inside the tire

This could be sealant that has dried or debris. If it's sealant, it might indicate a need for more or fresh sealant. If it's debris, carefully inspect and remove if possible.

Premature wear

Ensure tire pressure is consistently maintained within the recommended range. Riding on excessively rough surfaces or with improper inflation can accelerate wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent puncture resistance for reliable riding.
  • Certified for e-bikes up to 50 km/h, suitable for higher speeds.
  • Versatile for various surfaces, from pavement to trails.
  • Good rolling efficiency due to high TPI casing, saving e-bike battery.
  • Durable construction for demanding use.

Cons

  • Heavier than typical performance road tires, which may affect acceleration for non-e-bikes.
  • Wire bead construction can be heavier and harder to install than folding beads.
  • Maximum inflation pressure of 58 psi is moderate, not ideal for riders seeking very low pressures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Wheel Size: Designed for 700c (or 28-inch) wheels.
  • ISO Size: Compatible with rims sized 47-622.
  • Tyre Width: Suitable for frames and forks that can accommodate a 4 cm (1.75 inch) wide tire.
  • Tubeless: This variant is a tubeless tire.

Setup:

  1. Ensure your rim is compatible with tubeless tire setup.

  4. Check for a proper seal; add sealant if necessary for tubeless setups.

Care:

  • Regularly check tire pressure and inflate as needed to maintain optimal performance and protection.
