The tires are okay on the rim and everything, the tubes are the ones that are usually giving me problems. What got me thinking about the tire is that when I have it inflated to 120psi and when I put all my weight on the rear tire (imagine riding with no hands) the back tire looks low, possibly giving me problems with pinches and such. I'm thinking a thicker tire would retain its shape better, therefore protecting the tube inside, maybe the continentals are just too soft.
