Continental Conti Tour Tire Review
I've tried numerous different brands of tires over the years and never had a favorite. These Continentals have been great for the most part and the only complaint I have is the rear one wore out quick. I only got 7100 miles on it. I could probably push it to 8k but I have some road trips coming up so I ordered another one, mainly because the front probably still has another 8k left on it and I don't want to mix them. The only reason I can think of for it wearing so quick is, it has been on a dyno twice (shootout and later a tune) and with the S&S 124 kit, it's hard not to get up and go...quickly.
This picture is of the old one on the left and the new replacement on the right (regardless of how they look in the pic, they are the exact same size). If I can get around 13k-15k out of this one, it will be my favorite. They're quiet and the grip is phenomenal, wet or dry.

I'm curious about other brand tires too.

My final comments on these tires: I had 6300 miles on the rear and may have had another 1k or so left. Out of that 6300 miles, I estimate about 5500 of them was all interstate including a 4k mile trip to LV from AL. I replaced it a little early because the front was bulging (cupping to a whole nother level). I got 13,400 miles on the front. Conclusion: these tires are awesome as far as performance goes but they don't last. The back is good for 7500 and the front around 12,500.
