Conti Motion tyres

Just fitted a pair and so far impressed. As far as I can find Continental advise to use BMW tyre pressures. Has anyone found or achieved better results with alternative pressures?
Just curious

Mine has bulged and delaminated - very poor.

That does not look good, a manufacturing fault? What response have you had from Continental assuming you have complained.

I think that's the pressures that Conti recommend, they don't seem to list solo and two up separate anymore

Looks like a manufacturing fault to me, give Cambrian Tyres a call they're the importers for Contis in the UK

I've found them helpful in the past

I had 4 different front continental tyres do that, they also had the habit of unsealing from the rim whilst riding. Never actually wore a front out and got money back for each one.

Jeez

That's an MOT fail and three points on yer licence if stopped by the Bobbies, Not to mention the potential to fail on you whilst riding...
