I just took advantage of the rebates and good prices and purchased Barum Bravuris tires, based in part to some of the posts I've read here. The tires feel a bit soft, softer than what I had previously but the ride is so much smoother and grips well. Btw, I recall someone posting a web link to Continental that may also provide a little known $100 rebate on four tires. Anyone have that handy?
