Woody, I suggest you avoid Contis as I have just replaced a pair sportcontact 2 fronts on the missus A6 Avant. Still had 3mm+ tread depth after 30K miles but both b*ggers had started to delaminate on the inside sidewalls. This chariot weighs 2 tonnes and does get pushed on the autobahns up to 150mph on our yearly jaunt to Poland, so I take no chances. Have a lot of respect for Contis on my old BMW bike but this I did not expect. Replaced with P zeros FWIW and so far pleased with the result. I discussed the Conti "experience" with Rob Grimaldi a few weeks back who told me there have been a few blow outs due delamination on Maseratis. Potholes or something else? Who knows but I will avoid the risk
On the 3200, I currenly run P zeros but am looking for a change as they have gone off due to age rather than wear - I will probably try the new Bridgestone S001 but these are known to be optimised as a dry weather tyre and are soft therefore longevity will suffer. This is fine for me but not for everyone.
hope this helps
