Continental Ultra 3000 any good?

Performance has these on sale for $9.96 for Team P members. I'm looking for
a 700x25 tire for commuting and training (not a racer just putting in
miles). They're wire bead but I'm not a lightweight so the extra grams are
no biggie. Are these a good tire?

Mike

If you can get these for $10 get a half dozen. They are great tires.

My experience with Continental tires has been so bad that I would not
use them again if they were being given away. YMMV

My experience with TT2Ks has been very positive, no failures in
thousands of miles of use.

I have no knowledge of Ultra 3000s.
