Vorher bin ich Spätherbst bis Frühjahr auf dem Rennrad den Conti GP gefahren. Für diesen habe ich nach einer Alternative im gleichen Preissegment gesucht. Grund hierfür war, dass sich der Conti sehr hart auf der Straße anfühlt und ich einen Reifen gesucht habe, der mir ein höheres Sicherheitsgefühl vermittelt. Diese Vorgabe hat der Kountach klar erfüllt.
Pro und Con im Vergleich zum Conti GP:
++ Deutlich flexibler / geschmeidiger im Fahrverhalten
+ Fährt sich nicht so schnell eckig
0 im gleichen Preissegment wie der GP angesiedelt
- nicht ganz so robust wie der GP habe ich den Eindruck (oder einfach nur etwas mehr Pannenpech)

Fazit:
Für Eingangs genannten Bereich bleibt der Reifen drauf. Auf Brevets nehme ich lieber den Conti GP, wegen des gefühlt etwas höherem Pannenschutz. Und im Sommer zum bolzen ist der Veloflex Corsa / Master mein Favorit. Dieser ist noch einmal deutlich besser von den Dämpfung Eigenschaften und klebt förmlich auf der Straße - dafür kennt der Veloflex Pannenschutz nur vom Hörensagen.

Kleiner Tipp zuletzt, der aber für alle Reifen gilt. Den Reifen vor der ersten Nutzung ein paar Wochen / Monate entfaltet im Keller ausgasen lassen. Dann sammelt der am Anfang nicht so viele Steinchen.
