Continental tyres, as Hippy says are shite. I knew this years ago, yet rather than wait a few days for an internet delivery (this was over Xmas), I bought a pair Conti Cyclo-X tyres to finish off a build. 300 miles and 5 bastard punctures later, they've been replaced by a pair of so far (600 miles) perfect Schwalbes.

Utter shite.
