Default Continental Ultra Race tires

Looking at the Continental Ultra Race Tires, I can't afford to spend a fortune but want a good tire at a decent price. Would this tire be a good choice?

Yes, great all around tire. Wears well, handles well, isn't expensive. No need to spend $20 more for a high end tire. The differences are teeny.

The give possibly the best $/mileage ratio of any tire and don't feel bad at all. Go for it.

There are some of last years Michelin's Lithions hanging about on Amazon just now. Worth a look.

I had used continental ultra race yellow colour version last year.Finally given up after only 2000km on it and had more or less about 8 flats.These tires is good if you prefer changing tubes all the time.This tires remembered me not to look at them anymore.Recently using michelin lithion.So far so good.No punctures.This is just a piece of comment after using it.
