Price Paid:  $25.00 at BikeTiresDirect

Favorite Ride:
More down than up.

Bike Setup:
Kona Cinder Cone. Old school over the bar shifters. 7 speed Chromoly steel urban assault tank. There's a noticeable dent in the front of an SUV to prove it.

Summary:
I've ridden these for almost a year (3000+ miles). 26x2.1. I ride them primarily in the winter on my MTB commuter bike. They seem to be very tough as I have not had a flat yet. Probably one of the best MTB commuter tires.

Strengths:
Perfect commuter tire. Low rolling resist. Also if you ride in rain alot they probably don't kick up as much spray.

Weaknesses:
primarily for pavement. Haven't ridden them offroad, but I can tell you they have no grip on the snow.

Similar Products Used:
Conti Grand Canyon (14000 miles on 1 set), Town & Country (1000 miles and I tossed them in the garbage). Maxxis Holy Roller (for when it snows)

Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:
Canondale road tandem; 200 and 130 lbs. riders.

Summary:
We had the 700x32 size on our tandem for just about a year. Nice riding tire, no punctures. We actually liked this tire over the regular CONTACT tire (non-"CITY" version) even on the cinder rail-trails.

Strengths:
Nice riding tire

Weaknesses:
Showed relatively quick wear on the cinder rail-trails (but they do label it "CITY")

Similar Products Used:
Continental "regular" CONTACT tire; older Continental TOP TOURING 2000.
