"The Contact Security is designed for commuters who simply can't risk
a
puncture; people who want a no-hassle ride to work when speed and
rolling
resistance is not an issue."

an accurate statement.
when speed and MITTY PRO RACER EFFECT SYNDROME are not issued.
Conti designs around (?) a responsive sidewall. Seems that way as
often a Conti sidewall is the tire's weakest area, when loaded with
rubber as on the Security, less responsive than a TT.

I carry groceries and camping equipment. The Security used here as a
rear tire with a TT front was always (now at the end) pumped to near
90-100 pounds. At higher pressures, the tire is slippery during the
break in miles. Slippery as overloaded slippery tho I ran it unloaded
and it was again slippery. I assume I reduced the contact suface above
a thick belt. ??? I don't know if that's logical.

Never treid it at recommended pressures. That's from using the TT.
Recommended TT pressures, I consider largely imaginary as one curb
drop, I used non progressive bifocals, and whoooola! a cut sidewall
from impact.

Never had a flat. Is the tire fun for zipping around? sure, why not,
even when slippery.
itsnot a question of: is this tire dangerous
itsha question of does the tire conform to Mitty Syndrome or Pole
Disease.
would I buy another. yes, if the debris content is high. I would try
sanding the contact surface.
cam I compare it to a Schwalbe? what planet are you from? I have
Pasela Messengers. They're on strike. There's a comparison. The
Messengers are wooden but grip, The Security isnot wooden and is early
on slippery at lower cornering limits, at high pressures-necessary hi
pressures.
I have a Schwalbe Big Apple, unrun. It looks like the PR: new factory,
new capitol, new technology. Looks a lot like a Pasela Messenger but
thinner.
