I know. I haven't put air in it yet.

I'm running Continentals on my road bike...because they came on it. Funny how my dislike for Conti's on cars makes me not like them for my bike and vise versa for Michelins. But the road bike Conti's are quite nice.

What's problem with conti road tires? Have some slicks and also dws on x5d.

I love my GP4000 S, sticky and very good wear for a tire that is considered a race tire. Been running these for years and I get very few flats compared to friends that run other tires.

My second E46 M3 didn't like the ones that came with it. Switched to Michelin and she was much happier. I think it's a FL thing. I hear Michelins aren't happy in colder climates and Conti's fair better.
