have probably purchased more Conti tires than any other brands.

back when I didn't know any better, I ran Gatorskins. once I tried other models, realized how horrid they are. my favorite user review compared them to riding a frozen garden hose. lol

the 4000S IIs were great, good ride, excellent durability. when the 5000s came out was eager to try them. same or better ride quality, but mileage is down considerably. so, not sure I'll continue to buy them.

have tried Schwalbe ONE and Vittoria Rubino Pro, both are quite serviceable.

worst tires I've tried are Michelin...just went thru a set of ProComp 4s and they were seriously disappointing. ride was nothing special, cut like crazy, and were totally worn out in very few miles.

the positive comments here about Pirellis makes me want to check them out.
