    They seem okay, I have some on my Bianchi, but nowhere near as good as Michelin Prorace which I'll swap to when the Conti's need replacing. It all depends what sort of riding you're going to be doing.
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    Conti Ultra Sports, are fine tyres, especially for the price.

    I used a pair yesterday that came with my new bike.

    Not too bad, Road was dry with damp patches and gave good grip.

    Zero grip if they get dirty, but i guess that is the same with all road tyes.

    Also No P protection either so you take a gamble with P's

    Hmm. I've had no problems. The tyres have seen most of their service on the dodgy streets of Warrington, and I've only had a snakebite. No grip issues either.

    The rubber is pretty thick, so nothing much should get through it anyway to cause a deflation.
