My feeling on this is that it really depends on how it's been used, something used for a load of town commuting will wear more in the centre than at the edges, thus changing the profile more than something that's used for a greater proportion of twistys, so generally speaking I'd say the Conti held up as well as you could realistically expect, and as well as any other make of my experience.

No, but having used a lot of tyres of all sorts and sizes I sincerely doubt that the "average rider", (whoever that is), is going to be concerned about grip.

I put them on just before the winter, highly recommended, work well at low temps and are excellent in the wet.
