Tires Continental or DUNLOP
Yes, GP5000s are one of the best all around tubeless tires. Good luck finding 32s in stock, been looking for a whole year and NO ONE has them.
The grip is very good (GP5000s might be marginally better), and they are pretty supple tires so they are comfortable
personally I skipped going for the Hakkapeliittas this time and went with Continental IceContact XTRM Studded, So far they have been great! but damn are they loud on dry pavement lol.
Continental 175/70 r13 tires imported from Italy in July 2020 (at substantial expense \ud83e\udd23) to wrap this set of 82 Jetta wheels for my resto-mod. Finally got them painted to my satisfaction in reflex silver. Searched all of US and Canada for Continental 175/70s with no luck.
i just got a set of continentals in june and i am in love. prior to this, i had dunlops (original set) and i think yokohama after that. i hated them both. slid in the rain all the time. came here for a recommendation and saw lots of praise for the contis. so glad i found them.
I'm very happy with the Contis!
I've had the Contis on my Hatch for two years now and they're worth every penny.
I loved conti 'der kaisers' they have huge paddles for braking, and 13 side knobs for every 11 maxxis side knob. They seem similar to a dhr2 with the whole paddle thing goin on...
Continental dws06-plus. Great value. Good tread life and they grip the road when you need it to
Maybe I'm just luck as far as flats go, but I've never really been pleased with the ride and grip trade off for something like the 4 Season compared to something more in the "performance" category.
Not caring about rolling resistance is one thing, but something like a GP5000 (or similar tire from whatever brand,) just rides better.
I had a set of Conti DWS tires that always vibrated -- at least 2 of them. I ended up replacing them all within 5K miles because two of the tires were shredded in a Home Depot parking lot -- they left a bunch of sharp metal on the ground in the back of their lot and, classic my luck, I found it. They ended up paying for new tires under their insurance but because it was a Subaru, I argued I needed to replace all 4 tires. Anyway, the new tires... no vibration anymore. It's one of the best unfortunate accidents I had, haha.
