I'd say that was a defective tyre, or from a defective batch. I've used four tyres and only had one proper puncture in all the time that I've used them. I have feeling mine may be the hard compound version....though that wasn't made clear when I bought them. I've not yet got the Continental Supersports, but I'm really looking forward to making a serious comparison of them against the Courier Berlins. I predict the handling will be far superior, but so will be the wear. We shall see.
