I take insanely fast turns, also in NYC there are shitty roads and it's been raining and snowing a lot, the stock bridgestones are terriblely awful it feels like I'm driving on ice, changed them out for DWS06 plus 225/45 so the sidewall got a bit bigger and everything else improved, I went from taking 15-20mph turns in the tight nyc roads to now 25+ comfortably, cutting up on the highway has never been easier, both dry and wet, also the car drives even better in the snow. The road noise is noticeably quieter and the ride is smoother although thats mainly thanks to a bit bigger sidewall.

Pros: improved handling, quieter

Cons: stock bridgestones terrible

Vehicle: Mazda 3

A good solid mid tyre is Conti Super Sport (I think).

Grip:

typical time on GP5K 28mm is 45mins with a dead shortest time of 32mins with a strong tailwind. Both bikes set up to have nearly identical geo relationship between saddle, primary grip area, and bottom bracket and thus identical posture.

I notice it everywhere in my riding- turns, takeoffs, climbs, I *definitely notice it* on multi hour rides… and I’m no pro.

Pros: notice it everywhere

I went from Kenda to Conti GP 5000s and it felt like I got a new bike. And my speed increased by several mph. You just can't get upgrades like that with any other component

Pros: speed increased

When I switched to Conti GP4000sii, those were 12.2 watts per tire. Total of 24.4 watts.

The difference between them obviously 40 watts (depending on conditions). Yeah, that is a big deal. And you can feel it. One is like pedaling through mud in comparison to the other floating over the road.

Pros: big deal, you feel it

DWS06 on all my cars. By far the longest lasting and best performing tire and cheaper than the competition.

Pros: best performing tire

Cons: longest lasting

My brother has dsw06s on his Focus RS. They're awesome tires but have a short lifespan. I got Conti PureContacts and haven't had a single complaint, they've never lost traction or hydroplaned (not for lack of trying), and are quiet except on perfectly smooth pavement.

Pros: never lost traction

Cons: short lifespan

Vehicle: Ford Focus

Grip:

The stock kinergys are quite bad new and once they start approaching 1/2 life left, became honestly dangerous in the rain from my experience. I replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+’s well before the tires were worn out and haven’t looked back. 100% worth it.

Pros: 100% worth it

Cons: dangerous in the rain
