I'd have to try out the Continental SportContact 2. I read some good reviews, but my experience with the original SportContacts was bad enough that there's no way I'd buy them without trying them out first. They had good traction on dry pavement but they REALLY sucked on wet pavement. They were also really noisy.

I'm looking for front tires to buy.. I know mixing brands is not good at all, but I guess i have to do it till my rears wear out.

I can get the P7000s for $135 now, but I would like to try something diffrent.

should I go with SO3s? any other suggests? I'm also in the same boat!
