Ok, here’s another one worth looking into: Continental Contact Speed in the 26x2.0 size (50-559).
I had to finally retire the RTP on the rear wheel, so the Contact Speed got its chance today.
I put it on yesterday and took the bike back out again today, and it was about the same feel, which is a good thing, so not a noticeable sacrifice in changing from the RTP to the Continental. I’m very pleased by that.
When it comes time to replace the other RTP, there is a good chance I will get another Contact Speed and that is saying something because the RTP is a delight to ride.

Just ordered a couple Big Ben's. Ebay sent me an email that one seller dropped the price by $10.45/tire..net cost for the Big Ben was $33 and change with free shipping..I had to go for it.
