Finally...new rubber fitted

Finally...after three weeks & admitting that I got it wrong I fitted my continental GP4000S rubber - all black with chilli compound & silver logos t'boot - most excellent. Did a 48 mile ride out to Prees Heath & back yesterday very good ride apart from the last leg down the A442 from Crudgington - very busy traffic into a strong head wind, the new rubber was excellent, very comfortable & yes the final compliment to my black bar tape & carbon [effect] plugs.
Back to the bit I got wrong & the reason for the delay in using said rubber...? on delivery I noticed what appeared to be a defect - 2 holes in the outer layer - so I complained, as you do...unknown to me & quickly pointed out by the supplier they are actually tyre wear indicators, a quick check on Continentals website confirmed the fact [that I was indeed a numpty].
