Commuting Tyres

@rhb - wow, do you have shares in Continental GMBH?

Thanks for your anecdotes. Here's mine; I own a track pump, don't skid and, back in the murky depths of time, rode for a team that was sponsored by Continental so got my tyres for free, but gave up on them because a) their grip in damp conditions wasn't up to the competition and b) they were plagued with sidewall cuts, a problem that continues to this day.

Here's another anecdote.

Funnily enough I have the exact same experience as above with Vittoria's. Of the Conti tyres I've tried, Ultra Sport are indeed shite, while GP4000S are some of the best tyres I've used.
