"They've got to come with data now."
you mean the other tire companies? yes. but i think you, al, and jarno are the people who do that, aren't you? conti does GREAT with its own data, certainly, but wouldn't you agree that prior to black chili the conti tires were aero, but not overwhelmingly great rollers?
now we do have some tires that outroll the 4000S II. but they have their own hurdles. price. distribution. and no aero data that i know of. but jarno has pretty compelling data that makes for a good beginning.
mind, i don't think people ought to abandon conti. i just think that in the 4 years since that tire has come out the gap seems to have closed in performance if not yet in price.
