REI has a 25% off Conti sale going through 5/31. My one bike is set up for summer dry riding and decided to drop for the 35's that were on it down to a 28. I'm a cheap skate but at $32 a tire after discount I decided to give them a try instead of the Conti Ultra sports I was considering going with. I have run the 23 Ultra sports on a different bike and was happy with them as well but I knew they offered less flat protection but they are often caught on sale for $15.

Today was day Three...I am loving them. The bike feels so much more lively and the hills are noticeably easier (320grams for the Gators verses the 700grams on the tires they replaced). I have a new set of 32 Vittoria Randonneur Pro's RFX (420 grams) for the other bike that I am about to rebuild the wheels on that I hope I will not be disappointed in now LOL.
