I just ordered some new tires. Didn't go with Continental, just because of the reputation of how hard it is to get on and off the rim. A friend has them on one of his bikes, said even with a tire bead jack it was very difficult to mount the tires. Doesn't sound like fun if had to repair or replace a tube while on a ride. Seems that Continental would be aware of this. Is there a reason why their tires must fit so tight, that they won't change. Seems like it could be done, and would result in increased sales. Whaddaya think?
