Any complaints with these Continental tires? For $150 it should be a no brainer, but I don't want to be unhappy riding on :censored: tires.

I've run the ContiMotions on my ZRX, and I didn't get much mileage out of them.

I don't get much mileage out of any tire though.  Must be the way I ride.

10.00 a tire for "extra shipping" blows IMO!

170 for a pair? you can't even get Shinko's for that ::)
I suppose.... you priced a set of PR3's or PR4's lately, delivered?


I ain't cheap, those are my choice anyway, just sharing a deal for those with shallow pockets ::)

Really.  The PR4's I just got were $350 delivered... and that was a good price.

 Great price for pretty decent tires.  The tires stuck through any road condition I could throw at it.  The front is still going strong & it looks as though it may end up w/ around 8k miles to the wear bars. The rear however was past the wear bars at 3800 miles... :(   However, even w/ the dismal wear rate of the rear tire, I wouldn't hesitate to run that tire again.
 Although my Zed is about 100lbs lighter than the C14, it still CONSUMES rear tires w/ a vengence.  An Angel GT resides back there now  ;D
