I recently bought the Continental Pure Contact which I believe came out in 2024. Continental advertises them as being highly puncture resistant, relatively lightweight, and e-bike ready. The Bicycle Rolling Resistance review seems to support those claims.
What was most appealing to me is that they have better puncture protection than the latest Schwalbe Green Marathon while having very similar rolling resistance but being 25% lighter, triple the TPI, available with "coffee sidewall", and a folding bead. Only cons I can see are price and maybe availability. Has anyone else tried these?

I’m intrigued. I’ve been using Gatorskins for the most part. For their puncture resistance mainly.
These look awesome, may pick these up when my gp5000 AS TR’s kick the bucket
I use top contact 2, they are really really great. They are very sturdy and roll well.
