OP, whatever you get, try to use Conti tires that were made in Germany. Conti has been outsourcing a lot of their tires to other countries, and while you'll pay full price for them, all you are really getting is the brand name. I bought a set of these recently:

Complete garbage workmanship, lumpiest tire I have ever bought. So uneven that you'd be wasting your time even truing the wheel you mounted them on. The whole bike shook when you spun them. Very heavy too.

Found out later they were made in India. It looks a lot of manufacturers are doing this, outsourcing to third world countries, slapping their name onto the sidewall, and still charging full price for an inferior product. I never thought Continental would do this, but it appears they have.
