Just had to change my Continental 4 seasons tyre.
so what was it like ??
well, the semi exposed criss cross webbing on the side wall was coming off at various places around both sides of the tyre. not good, bad sign.
a 2mm hole/tear/gash exposing the tube at the tyre/sidewall interface, that was getting larger hence why i had to changed it.
and a 1mm hole down to the carcass right in the centre of the tyre tread again exposing the tube.
so after only about 1500miles and hardly no skidding, id say they were pretty poor considering the price.
Hippy might have a point, cos considering Conti 4 seasons cost a whopping £25 -£30 each ! you'd expect a little better.
Rubino pro ( +/- £18. £10 cheaper than conti 4 seasons.) is on now and ready to roll,
lets see if the myth is a reality.
