When Sport Contacts originally came out, Conti warrantied them against flats, but the terms of the warranty were a joke - had to prove you were using a Conti tube and had to send the tire in to them for analysis. Like I'm going to do that instead of patching it and riding!

If I were allowed a small rant here, I'd complain about the fact that most lowracers (which are built for speed) use a 406 BMX rim in front and a 559 mountain bike rim in back. Why don't all lowracers use 451/622?
