A Continental Ride Tour in 26 × 1.75 — ISO 47-559 — on a wire bead, about 1.7 lb (0.8 kg), with the ExtraPuncture Belt, an E25 e-bike rating and a published 29 to 58 PSI. $35.64.
It gives the ISO number, the weight, the pressure and the belt name
Four things, on one bullet: “26×1.75 (ISO 47-559) wire-bead clincher; use with an inner tube. Inflate to 29-58 PSI. Weight about 1.7 lb (0.8 kg).”
Of the eight tires on this page, only this and the Continental Double Fighter III state a pressure range, and only three state both an ETRTO and a weight. The buying advice on this shelf is about clearance and the introduction about ETRTO; this listing answers both without being asked twice.
The ExtraPuncture Belt is named, and so is where it sits
“A rugged rubber breaker under the tread works with rubber-reinforced sidewalls for a high level of puncture protection and resistance to sidewall abrasion.”
Both places, described separately. That is unusual: Maxxis protects the sidewall with EXO and says nothing about under the tread; Fincci protects under the tread with nylon and says nothing about the sidewall. Continental here claims both, with the material given as rubber rather than nylon or aramid.
Rubber is heavier than either for the same cut resistance, which is part of why a 47 mm (1.85 in) tire weighs 1.7 lb (0.8 kg).
E25, which this tire has and most do not
“Rated by Continental for e-bikes up to 25 km/h (about 15.5 mph), with high puncture protection and low rolling resistance to resist wear from the extra drive force.”
Two of the eight tires here are E25 rated: this and the Maxxis Minion DHR II, which expresses the same limit as 16.1 mph. On a trekking tire for a hub-motor town bike, that rating is the point of the product.
“Made for high mileage” is a material claim, not an adjective
“Continental adds an additional rubber layer for high mileage.”
That is a specific thing: more rubber above the belt means more tread to wear through before the casing shows. It is also the third reason this tire is heavy — belt, sidewalls and now an extra tread layer.
A trekking tire that lasts is a trekking tire that weighs, and Continental is consistent about which side of that trade it has chosen.
One number on the listing is wrong, and it is not Continental’s
The shipping record for this listing says 3.5 oz (100 g). A 26 × 1.75 tire cannot weigh 3.5 oz (100 g); Continental’s own bullet says about 1.7 lb (0.8 kg), which is the credible figure. Take the 1.7 lb (0.8 kg).
What is not published
No TPI, no tread depth, no compound, no load rating. The description field on this listing also carries pages of supplier inventory notes — order dates, return counts — which are not specification and are not quoted here.

The questions riders ask
Does it weigh 3.5 oz (100 g) or 1.7 lb (0.8 kg)?
About 1.7 lb (0.8 kg), which is Continental’s own figure in its last bullet. The 3.5 oz (100 g) on the shipping record is impossible for a 47 mm (1.85 in) tire — a tube weighs more than that. Where a listing contradicts itself, the manufacturer’s stated specification is the one to trust, and here it is both plausible and consistent with the construction: a rubber breaker, reinforced sidewalls and an extra tread layer.
Where is the puncture protection?
In two places, and Continental describes them separately: the ExtraPuncture Belt, "a rugged rubber breaker under the tread", and rubber-reinforced sidewalls against abrasion. That is more complete than most tires on this page — Maxxis EXO protects only the sidewall, Fincci’s nylon layers only under the tread. The cost is that rubber is heavier than nylon or aramid for the same resistance.
Is E25 enough for my e-bike?
If the motor cuts out at 25 km/h (about 15.5 mph), yes — that is the standard European pedelec class and what this rating covers. A faster class, or a throttle-driven bike, applies more torque and heat than an E25 carcass is rated for. The Maxxis Minion DHR II on this page carries the same rating stated as 16.1 mph; nothing else here carries one at all.
