Continental also currently makes and sells the Ultra Sport, which is very handy
because, while a little lower end, it is a very serviceable tire that is widely
available and made in both 1 1/4" and 1 1/8" widths.
I have some I've been test riding, and they are at least as good as the
Performance forte tires, if a little more in cost.......might actually end up
being better tires.
