Good all around

Having used a bunch of different tires for daily riding, these have come out the winner for OK ride feel, good grip, & especially good durability. Good air-holding is also convenient. Got tired of Corsas, etc. getting sliced and diced from glass. Sprinters last like crazy IME. 22/25 F/R is a good set up. I run those 70/75psi @ 165lbs.

Do not buy - you have been warned

Simply put, these tyres are absolute garbage. They come up far too small for a 700c rim, and even after a week of inflating/stretching they are still WAY TOO SMALL. In order to fit them I had to use tyre leavers to force them onto the rim, and then apply glue afterwards by rolling the tyre to the side in small sections at a time, giving enough space to brush glue between the rim and tyre. This is a minimum 2 man job, and is still extremely difficult. All this work will not be worth it, as the compound of these tyres give them next to no grip what so ever, especially in damp or wet conditions. They loose traction suddenly rather than gradually, which make them extremely unpredictable/borderline dangerous to ride on. I cannot really express how awful a product this is. Complete shock to me after buying conti tyres for years. They are worse than the infamous "skaterskins" (gatorskin / gator hardshell tyres) which Conti make in road clincher format. Although those tyres also provide minimal traction, at least they are robust. These Sprinter Tubs showed signs of the rubber disintegrating after just a few races. They are absolutely hopeless in crits, as they provide such little concerning traction.

Harsh ride

2

Good training tire if you don't mind the harsh ride. I see you can get these in a 25mm width now, so maybe that'll help. Otherwise, my Michelin clinchers provide a more supple feel.

Conti Sprinter

5

Relatively easy to mount, inexpensive, and decent performance. You may get 2500 to 4000km on the front, most likely 1500-2000km on the rear, but at this price it's still cheaper to glue up new ones than to run more expensive tubs.

Continue Sprinter 25mm

4

I like the Continental 25mm Sprinter. Light enough with good grip and wear resistance. IMHO best training tire at this price point. Bit easier to mount on the rim than the 22mm, though it is a Continental so is a very tight fit.

Continental Sprinter Tubulars

5

Only have 30 miles on them so way too soon to really put a solid opinion over them. But as far as Pro Bike Kit goes, they are basically half the price I would pay at my LBS... I'd love to support my LBS, but when it comes to paying double I just have to go with PBK for the bigger things!

Reasonable Price for Good Tyre

5

Actually i'm favorite tyre is Gatorskin has good durability. But it's a little bit heavier than other tubular tyre. Sprinter tyre is lighter than Gatorskin, also it has durability. It's very nice tubular tyre i think.

Tons of performance without breaking your budget! Riding, training, racing on them for years. If you paid me, maybe I would switch! :)
