Occasionally in tight curves on asphalt, I had the feeling that the front wheel will slip away. Once even the rear some sand broke out on asphalt, so I plunged and the least at normal speed.
So I tried a different stem (100 mm). The steering was now indeed soft, yet the tires continued to show in curves a nervous ride. In case of rain, it was a veritable Rumgeeiere.
This is a tire with the previously worst grip I have ever had. After changing to a tire of another provider, I had already used earlier and its operating characteristics were therefore known to me also, the driving behavior was as usual, even when wet. Even after the change I noticed was how much actually the rolling resistance of Contis. On my daily 11-km route to work I needed about 3 to 5 minutes longer. This is on this rather short distance already not without. With the other tire, the wheel was almost alone.
Finally, be mentioned that the tires very narrow fails. A nominal width of 32 mm on a commercially available standard rim attaches me only 28 mm. This also leads to a more turbulent run, especially with longitudinal grooves in the roadway. The tire is also very close to the internal diameter and is therefore very difficult to attach to the rim.
For the leisurely rolling "City-Trekker" It may be enough for a sporting ticking can I the Continental Contact II not recommend the name "Contact" he deserves only limited in my eyes.
