I'm happy to report that after several months of driving I've enjoyed the Reliant a lot. They've been good performers in the wet and are wearing quite nicely.
All conditions were great EXCEPT wet root. So I'm also in the 'waiting for enduro super soft' camp.
Compared to Maxxis Assegai(grip) + DHR(terra) both exo+:
\* Conti feel more stable than exo+ but not worlds apart
\* Conti roll significantly faster (prob mainly due to Assegai being very slow)
\* Assegai maxxgrip has WAY more 'chemical' grip vs KR-F enduro soft. (Super soft is roughly the same)
\* Conti have more stability in side knobs and more 'physical' grip in loam
\* KR-R as better breaking traction IMO but is also heavier.
The Goodyear reliant from Walmart are affordable and unlike other cheapo tires the side walls aren’t paper thin
I would recommend a different front if that's your goal - maybe the Vittoria Barzo or the Continental Cross-King. They're both handling-oriented tires rather than pure speed, but don't really give up a lot on the speed front... like the Rekon does.
I work at Goodyear and they look like normal new snows to me, the softer rubber can pick dirt and other shit up faster than other tire models if not driven in winter conditions if you’re referring to the faded coloration
Conti tires are great on cars. I always get their all-season Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ for my suv's because they are rated like a 10 on rain and even an 8 in the snow, which is amazing for an all season that's not dedicated to snow. Plus they have a 70k mile warranty.
Some of the best tires I ever ran were a set or Conti Sport Attack's
I got 32k miles out of my OEM Continentals - I could have pushed them for another 5K miles (I’m in the desert so no snow and limited rain). That’s good enough for me, so I got another set about a week ago.
Put 265/40R-20 Goodyear Eagle Sport on my 2021 MYLR and handling seems the same. As a by product I get no more curb rash.
They're notoriously bad tires. Slow and slippery, and the puncture protection isn’t even that great, so they’re mostly overpriced.
