Not really. I rarely use them since they were always failing on other people's bikes.
I had a pair of their tyres a while back (fuck knows why I bought them) and they p_nct_red 4x in 400k.. I put the already cut to hell Rubinos back on and they were p_nct_re free for another 1000k.
It's a slightly irrational hatred but 1) look at the evidence - Contis DO just self-destruct at the most inopportune moments. My LBS guy loves the All Season GP4s/GP4000? or whatever they are called? but it doesn't mean I'm going to start using them. Conti would need to go a good few years without me hearing about their epic fails before I bothered.. and.. 2) it's funny, so it continues :)
