David,

Nothing personal, but I think the conti's ride like rocks.

I've worn out dozen's comp 240's, because the just don't ever seem to get flats, and I used to swear by the durability of conti tires. But last year conti switched to "grey" compound softer rubber and I tried the Veloflex. Game over. Best money you can spend. Stock up from ebay or internet deals when you see the opportunity.

Grant McLean Toronto.Ca Grant,

But they retail for $89 CDN! Yikes! Personally I've always liked Conti's Sprinter ($50 CDN) and you can still get them in a dark grey and gum/tan colouring.
