Original tires went 40K and gave good service.  The third set of tires were
also Conti reinforced tires, and were terrible.After three tread separations
over 20K, Discount Tire gave me a full credit toward a set of Michelin XCH4s
(apparently no longer available in our size).  This has been a while ago,
and may not apply to the tires Conti produces now, but I don't think I would
buy them again.
