Huh...I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all the negative experiences cited here (these *are* experiences, right guys, not just rumor and conjecture?) seeing as for any given product one endorses heartily the internet always seems to come back with 10 folks who swear it's pure crap.
But I'm on my second set of Conti Attack/Force tires, and never found any noticeable shortcomings as far as rolling resistance or fast wear goes. I got 3000 miles on the previous set and probably could have gotten more. That's almost twice as much mileage as I got from the Hutchinson Fusions I was riding previously.
If I can find 'em for $49/pair I'll buy a five year supply!
