My Trek 520 of 1993 vintage got a spring upgrade this past

-- 37 mm Conti "Contact" tires front and rear replacing my
old 32 mm Conti TT. I'm going to do the Nebraska Badlands
this summer along with part of RAGBRAI and decided it was
time to fatten up the tires. Ride is definitely a bit
smoother.


I'll be interested to hear how these work for you. I bought a Contact
for my rear tire, and the tread was barely worn after 3500 miles.
However, I had apparently damaged the cords digging the darn thing out
of the Sun CR-18 rim so badly that it had a nasty hump, so I replaced
the tire.
