Tires Continental or BFGoodrich
I had Continental Extreme Contact Sports on my STI, they were great.
I just got the new Continental Extremecontact Sport 02 in September. I’m super happy with them, on par with PS4s in my opinion (and a bit cheaper)
I had one. No problems, dry or wet, and it lasted for 3000 miles, pretty much exactly, without a single cut in it, which is very impressive for city riding. It died of being worn down to the threads in one patch. I would thoroughly recommend these tyres.
Durability is outstanding - over 2000 miles on my current pair with no punctures. Relatively light considering the strength and rolls well - but definitely not the fastest tire. It does ride firm but you can’t have everything. Haven’t had any issues in the rain but I always take it easy when it’s wet.
I have them on my beater/commuter/errand bike
No qualms and they do the job they are supposed to do. I wouldn’t put them on any of my fun bikes, but they are perfect on a bike that I just “set and forget.”
I run them on several bikes. Not completely puncture proof, but I have only had one or two punctures in the five years of running them. I like them for daily commuting and are my go to.
Used them for many years commuting in London. Normally loads of rubbish/glass/oil on the road etc and were fine.
2000 miles on them so far. No punctures yet and I ride through terrible roads and potholes. I have noticed the back tire being slippery on wet roads like people mentioned but I don't ride in the wet.
After the first winter it was clear the BF Goodrich tires are great on dry/wet pavement but not snow.
I had both on my 2017 3rd gen Tacoma. I kept the truck stock as far as suspension, no lift, etc. I started with KO2s and put about 20k miles on them. Then I switched to WPs because the KO2s were garbage in the snow. Although I mostly switched due to the poor performance on ice and snow, the plus was finding out that the road noise and vibration was night and day. I didn’t know how bad the KO2s were until put on the WPs. WPs drastically improved snow and ice performance as well as road noise and just overall smoothness of the drive.
