Continental Milestones?

Continental Milestones?
I have been looking at alternative tires for my Ultra. I like the Dunlop's, but would like to expand my possibilities and maybe discover a better replacement.
I was looking at the various manufacturers offerings in the 130/90-16 in belted tires and found the Conti Milestones. They have the same weight rating as the stock Dunlops, and usually run a little bit cheaper. Has anyone tried these tires and could give some personal reflection on them? I'm very interested in these tires and like the tread design.
I really wish that Bridgestone would make a tire for our touring bikes bikes with a comparable weight rating in a belted tire. I've used Sones on my last bike and really loved the ride and handling I got from them.

RE: Continental Milestones?
I ran one set and the rear was wore out completely in 7,000 miles...and never really gave me the confident feeling I have come to expect of my tires. I normally get about 9,000 miles out of my tires. I replaced with the Michelin Commanders and so far they are wearing superbly and 'feel' very secure in all conditions. I plan to buy another set of Michelins.
