Avoid Continental Comfort Contact 1 tyre at all cost.

A bit of my history, used Silverstone Powerblitz 1800, GoodYear Ducaro GA, Kumho Ecsta and Maxxis (forget which model), and I have never had a single puncture. My travel plan is the same, so not much changes.

When I change to Continental Comfort Contact 1 tyre, I start to suffer tyre puncture. So in the period of 2 years, I have 5 puctures, that is 5 time punctures for 4 tyres!! Another car have 3 punctures, and another have 5 punctures as well!

Initially Conti CC1 is ok. Very quiet, medium grip in wet and dry. After about 10K km, noise level starts to climb higher and higher. I think by 20K, it has become very noisy until about 40K-50K km, which it will become unbearable and so does the grip level dropped drastically, despite the TWI still halfway to go.

Had the same experience in 3 cars, all had the unfortunate experience of using Conti CC1. All 3 cars have punctures experience when using Conti CC1.
