I ride GP5000s (28mm) with latex tubes on my crit bike. Great grip, rolling resistance, and road feel with the right tire pressure.
I run these tubeless and they are the best tubeless for sure, zero fuss mounting, can use a standard pump and orange seal for sealant, if you can’t go tubeless your suggestion would be the next best thing. I’ve found them incredibly durable and a comfortable to ride on no matter the conditions.
The Continental DWS 06 were indeed better.
I've been very happy with the DWS06 for more than 100,000 miles.
I can recommend ExtremeContact™ DWS06 Plus . The stock falken are not even sedan tires and actually added from cx 5. I have noticed improved braking distance, no wheel spin due to low end torque, sharper cornering and better tracking, much improved grip in 1-3’’ snow and overall winter driving experience.
I had these installed on my 2016 GT last April:
Continental Extreme Contact DWS06
I don’t do much driving anymore (COVID work from home plus I drive my Miata when the weather is good) but over approx 10k miles I’ve been perfectly happy with them.
I tried blizzaks years ago and they were ok. Then I tried Vikingcontact 7's and have stuck with them for multiple vehicles.
Based on Tirerack reviews, I'm leaning towards the Continental Vikingcontact7 which I'll use from Thanksgiving until early March. Anyone tried these tires? If so, how would you rate them?
Continental DWS06's have always had issues without being out of balance. This has been a criticism since they were introduced. That being said, they are probably the best all season tire for \"snow.\"
Stock Contis are history at 30K The roaring inside the cabin due to cupping has become unbearable, so I wear foam earplugs and my shooting muffs over them.
