I switched back to the Hardcase racelite on the rear tire (I still use the Contis up front & will until they wear out, but I won't replace them with another set) & have been trouble free ever since. The tires do get good reviews here & elsewhere, so I don't bash them, but they definitely did not work for me & my uses. And no, I didn't do anything wrong, yes I did the whole look inside the tire for what caused the issue, etc.
