I got the new conti 4000's on this weekend and have had nothing but trouble with them so far, I dont know whether I'm runnning at the wrong pressure or what. After fighting to get the tyres on from new I blew a rear tube whilst it was around 80psi (hardest I've dared even tho the tyres are rated at up to 120. Then got a pinch flat on the front trying to hop up a kerb last night, so when i got in made sure both tubes were around 80psi when i'd repaired the front. Went to bed 15 minutes late heard a massive pop and the rear had blown again unseating the tyre whilst it was sitting in my hallway. This is the first time I've really dealt with skinny road tyres so I dunno what i'm doing wrong, any help/thoughts much appreciated
grr
