Thats what I was thinking. I found this site, it has lots of reviews and tests: http://www.tyres-online.co.uk/tyretest/conti.asp Looks like you made a good choice. Continental also come out best here: http://www.tyres-online.co.uk/tyretest/giant.asp My spare tyre should be in a museum, but it holds air well. Now, seeing as Im going to have nice new tyres, Ive got to find a nice set of those black things that go in the center of the wheels, mine are all warped and scratched.
