I have heard from several people that buy tires based on how easy they are to install by hand. I have Continentals and they seem to do most everything well but are not easy to install by hand. I can can get all but the last four or five inches of the tire install by hand and then need to break out the tools. The reason I starting riding with the Continental Grand Prix 4000 is that they are a comfortable tire to ride on. Not sure how well they will wear. The tires I buy are for training and club rides, I am too slow to race. Is there another good all around tire to replace my Conti's? Bruce Post Extras
