The two-pack of a tire this site already lists singly — a dollar cheaper each
Continental Ultra Sport III 700×25, 2-pack
Two Continental Ultra Sport III tires in 700×25, with a silica PureGrip compound and an E25 e-bike rating.
What you are getting
Two Continental Ultra Sport III tires in 700×25, with the PureGrip silica compound and an E25 e-bike rating. $51.93 the pair.
The two-pack is cheaper per tire than the single
This site already publishes the Ultra Sport III singly, at about $27. This listing is the same tire, two at a time:
| listing | contents | price | per tire |
|---|
| Single, B082VNGXDZ | 1 tire | ≈ $27 | ≈ $27 |
| This one, B08BB2GLVL | 2 tires | $51.93 | $25.97 |
A dollar a tire, which is small — but tires are replaced in pairs more often than people expect, and the rear wears roughly twice as fast as the front. Buying two means the next change is a tire you already own.
Check both listings on the day: Continental’s pack pricing moves, and the single is occasionally the better buy.
E25 is a structural rating, not a marketing badge
“E25 e-bike rating features a high quality structure with puncture protection to reduce premature wear brought about by the additional driving force.”
E25 means the tire is approved for e-bikes assisted to 25 km/h. What it describes is the carcass: a motor applies torque through the tire rather than through a leg, and the extra drive force scrubs the tread and works the bead. A tire built to take that is a tire built heavier.
Two of the three Continental tires in the American survey for this shelf carry it — this and the Ride Tour that moved to the gravel page. The Grand Prix 5000 does not.
PureGrip, which is a compound and is described
“PureGrip Compound is derived from an activated silica compound to do exactly what it says: offer exceptionally good grip and durability.”
Silica in a tread compound improves wet grip at a given hardness, which is why it is in almost every modern tire. Continental naming it is useful; what is missing is any figure — no durometer, no rolling-resistance number, no wet-braking comparison.
The GP5000 on this page uses BlackChili instead, Continental’s top compound, and publishes no figures either.
What the listing does not say, and the shelf asks for
The introduction to this page compares four things. This listing answers one and a half:
- width and ETRTO — 700×25 is given, the ETRTO (25-622) is not
- bead type — not stated, which is the one the shelf tag calls out: “folding or wire bead changes the weight more than the tread does”. The Ultra Sport III is sold in a folding version, and the fiche already published here says folding, 180 TPI
- puncture belt — named on the Ride Tour as an ExtraPuncture Belt and on the GP5000 as a Vectran Breaker. Here it is “puncture protection”, unnamed, inside the E25 bullet
- tubeless — not mentioned, so clincher with a tube
No weight is published either. The Fincci tire on this page gives 280 g (9.9 oz).
What is not published
No ETRTO, no weight, no TPI, no bead type, no named puncture belt, no pressure range. Five bullets, four of which are about character rather than construction. It is the least specified tire on this page and the cheapest per tire.
