I have always been a fan of Conti tires but now I'm dissapointed. Well, I'm pleased with a comfortable and smooth ride. But I didn't expect that the tires would wear so fast!  I could get 30k out of a tire only. I wouldn't buy set to replace these.

Very upset. It didn't last 35,000 miles. “80,000 miles” were no more than a marketing spin.
