Hi Paul,
I haven't tried anything but the Continentals, so can't comment on anything but them. Currently, the Ambo wears a Blitz front and Tour (TK17) rear in the sizes you mention. The previous Tour lasted just shy of 16,000 miles and the front Blitzs last about 10,000. The rear Blitz lasted just over 8,000 miles so I decided to try the Tour for the extra $7 it cost. Twice the miles for $7 more, what a deal! For the way I ride they are completely satisfactory, offering excellent traction wet or dry and great stability in all situations. The front does follow grooved pavement mildly, but not enough to be worrysome. I haven't tried the Tour (TK16) front because it isn't available in the 110/90 size only 100/90. Filet mignon tires at a hamburger price in my opinion! Cheers,
Charlie
