my personal experience, over the last 26 years with buses and Continental
tires is that Conti's suck. if your alignment gets even a tiny bit out,
the tires take a "set" and will NEVER recover, not matter how many times
you get the alignment reset. i'm NOT a big fan of Continental tires. :(

and yeah, $70-80 is about what the other reinforced tires cost. :(
