Why We Like The Continental Aero 111 Tubeless Road Tire
Whether our intention is winning the next big event or keeping up with the fast group ride, the Continental Aero 111 Tubeless Road Tire allows us to chase our goals. This tire's unique construction features aero cavities in the patented tread pattern that function as vortex generators, creating turbulent airflow that follows the rim shape and reducing the overall drag in the entire wheel-tire system. The Black Chili compound provides low rolling resistance and exceptional grip on wet and dry surfaces, while the Vectran breaker increases flat protection without affecting the rolling resistance.

Comfortable, grippy—Black-Chili(G)👍🏼
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 26mm
Tried on the front of a Hunt aero-wide wheel to see if I felt any difference. Over a century with long sections of headwinds, I didn’t necessarily notice any “aero-advantage” but less watts of output over such a long distance is very difficult to detect. I did feel good enough for a sprint-finish as I crossed the line after 8-hours out in the high mountains around mammoth, CA. Could I really notice any aero advantage?—not really but maybe the gain in wind tunnel tests (by Swissside aerodynamics) could make the difference for someone with power meter or who is very tuned in to their particular bike. In defense of the Aero 111 tire, I did set several downhill PRs while tucked-in as compared to previous years over the same segments. **Note—this tire is now the Highest rated road bike tire for wet-grip according to Bicycle Rolling Resistance website ** higher rated than their GP 5000 all-season tire.

Super hard to install
I been ridding on contis for the past 6 years from 4000’s to 5000’s and gatorskins and never let me down now. I had my hopes high and I was eager to try it but after a couple of hours of fighting it and using every trick in the book to install it, I came to the conclusion that is not worth the hassle. So hard to install it at home with every tool at my disposal, I can’t imagine how bad things can be if I have to fix a flat out in the road, kudos to the efforts in making an aero tyre but even a Ferrari is worthless if it wont start.
