Continental UltraSport 3 Tire (Review)

Finally another upload!
It's difficult working with clips longer than 6-8mins due to hardware (seriously need to upgrade and I will, lol).

I'm sure some of you have seen this tire pop up on your Amazon/eBay feed from time to time, or perhaps you need a tire that doesn't break your bank account (been there, lol), or maybe you're just curious about it! Curiosity and bank account is what lead me to this tire really, and after a little research I just bought them, and honestly, for a budget tire, they are probably one of the better tires I've purchased. Seriously.

Pros
-Rolling Resistance isn't really bad at all with this tire. Even with a 28mm tire. It rolls nicely.
-The rubber actually does mitigate some of the road buzz a little bit more than say Conti Gatorskin/Hardshell or Schwalbe Durano's (great for puncture resistance, but not so nice on road buzz)....
-GRIP! I've mainly ridden 23mm and 25 (gave up on 23 and never going back, lol), but 25 are I would say the standard or should be, but 28mm just have a little more rubber to work with and you can really feel the difference, but this tire does inspire a little more confidence in fast turns or when you need cat like reflexes (when you're on two wheels on a busy road, I'm sure you've called upon that, lol).
-I'm sure even if this tire was a 25mm, it would still work very well, but the 28mm! BRO! 28mm tires are like having a slightly nicer suspension in your car, lol.....

Con(s)
-ZERO PUNCTURE RESISTANCE. NONE.
First day I had these tires I hit a thorn and boom, flat. Fortunately it wasn't really deep (however, I can't say any tire would survive that). However, I've had a minimum of 4 punctures since I've had these, so the track record isn't great.
-WEIGHT. They aren't light. 290-295g per tire. If you're a weight weenie, yeah, you might not like these at all, but weight isn't everything so this one is 50/50.

In the end, I'd say this tire is great for folks who want to train on a fairly quick tire or race on something that isn't extremely expensive, or if you live in an area where glass/rocks aren't a huge problem (or if you're a little wild and just don't care, then we can ride that same wave, lol). But if you need something that won't puncture, definitely a different tire, don't go for this one because you're going to be using that hand pump/Co2 way more than you'd like.

That's it! I hope this helps you guys in some way, shape, or form!
