A lot of guys I ride with swear by Contis. So, I tried them and cut the sidewalls on two of them. They looked just like the OP's. He asked for a recommendation for new tires. Here's mine: Vittoria Rubino Pros. They're always on sale, somewhere. They're long-lasting and don't puncture easily. They will be my tire for life or until Vittoria stops making them...whichever comes first.
