Add to this that most Conti wired tires seem unusually difficult to mount on certain rims.
I should have mentioned that I only use about 95psi on my 23mm tires and about 77psi with the 1-1/8" size.
At these pressures, my Conti tires haven't had many failures that I can recall.
I've had terrible luck with their Giro Tubular tires however. Really, really bad!
