Do you love them enough to drop the apostrophe and call them Contis?
Internet says:
The apostrophe has three uses:
to form possessives of nouns
to show the omission of letters
to indicate certain plurals of lowercase lettersBut let's not nit pick use of English in a forum, It's dull.

have you managed to drag yourself to the bike and find out what tyres you have yet - I ran Michelin Krylions and lithions for ages with no probs at all
slightly intrigued as to why you feel that the cycle shop you went into had any bearing on the amount of punctures you had?
i dont, i really like my LBS and they are nothing but professional
my bike is in the car so i can get it down there tomorrow im pretty sure they are lithions
im sure they work for some people but either im very unlucky or i got a bad batch -

Ask them to fit Conti Gatorskins or something.

Joey - Use the search (OTP) or alternatively, wait until you can start a thread and then ask again.
I could really do with a good punning thread.

im not prepared to shell out some dollar quite yet, so the original tyres are there in their full glory, the original raleigh ones that came with the bike when it was originally bought, so that makes them at least 25years old. colour however is going to be Ral 5012 blue something like that. for the nmoment it's staying geared too :)
I'm apostrophising as i'm dropping a few letters.
