Not to mention how many flats I have fixed on group rides so we could get rolling in 3-4 minutes instead of 15-20..

But those two particular tires... good grief I had awful luck on them. I have conti x-kings on my mountain bike and been pretty pleased with them. Loved the 4000's on road. Shrug.

No I hear ya. All in good fun.

I've ridden plenty of tires (the majority ) that are wayyyy more comfy than my Gatorskins but with goat heads being so prevelant out here I just got fed up with the cushy, plush ride of some tires and opted for these.

running 28's at 85 psi helps a little.............(but not much)

Those Hardshell Continentals are rough, maybe use them in the back.
Gatorskins are not that bad for training miles.
4 seasons I like, 28's at 80 psi.
The fancy Vittorias always let me down.
