Tires Continental or Goodyear
2026 a Goodyear
Most likely a Continental or Prelli or possibly a Michelin. From other tires experience on a variety of vehicles, those three brands we have had the best performance compared to their reviews and pricing points.
I'm on GP 4 seasons and they've been great for 7000km and counting. I really should have bought them again. They're a bit worn but they can still hang on for a few more months.
No way. They are far too expensive for commuting duties. I commuted 8000km this year which would have required an expensive tire change just over halfway through (I get about 5-6000km out of the GP5000s I run on my road bike). The Contact Urbans I use instead for commuting aren't *that* much slower, but they're *far* more durable (over 11,000km on my current set and still going strong) and *much* cheaper to boot.
I know credit cards aren\u2019t a great solution really, but the Goodyear credit card has 6 month 0% financing when you spend $250 or more on tires.
I ride the GP 4 Season 700x28 in urban Memphis, TN, US with tons of glass, potholes, and debris. I find them to be the "sweet spot" balance of puncture/rolling resistance. They don't feel quite as quick as GP5000s to me but far far better than gatorskins, or armadillos, or other "tough" tires.
Yeah, no problems, not a single puncture with the GP5000. In contrast, I recently tried Conti RIDE tour and ooh myy good, the traction is garbage compared to the GP5000. Instantly bought other tires.
I had Continental performance all seasons on my WRX for 3 winters, never had much of an issue stopping or going. It depends how good the tires are. They were NOT intended for snow at all but did pretty good. We don’t get super crazy snow in WV, but if you have more frequent heavy snow, yeah winters are worth it.
i've run efficientgrip cargo on the front of a small isuzu lorry (think half ton pickup-sized in yank equivalents) and they were also chipped to hell. 100% urban/highway use. they just do that.
I've had nothing but trouble out of Goodyear since the 90s. Granted, I've only been foolish enough to buy 2 sets since then. Gravel can exacerbate their poor rubber trouble too.
