Tires Continental or GT Radial
I've had multiple sets of Continental CrossContact LX25 tires over the years and get by just fine every winter. I'm in Columbus though.
I’ve been using the continentals for years. Just got 55k miles on my 2022
Not all tires are equal, but I switched from Nexen to Continentals and traction is zero problem.
Continental is the best, but expensive.
What started as a quick tune up turned into a full retro mod rebuild of my 2005 Trek 1500 USPS Edition and I honestly cannot believe how good this bike rides now. Early 2000s aluminum race frame with completely modern performance. It feels fast, alive, and razor sharp in corners.
Continetal DWS 06+ have some fantastic reviews on Tire Rack. I just put some on our "beater", a 2013 1 Series, 6MT.
Conti 4 Season are my favorite. They have a good mix of durability, comfort, puncture resistance, and grip.
I'm using the Continental Sport 02 in 205/50/15, 3 season daily with autocross events. No complaints, plenty of grip dry or wet. Very confidence inspiring tire.
I've found conti are good until 50% worn then they're like train tracks
Oh heck no to the Conti's unless you like a super soft sidewall that likes to bubble when it passes by a pothole let alone hits one. I don't get the fascination with them other than the price. I ran them on my old GLI and they were neither good in the rain/cold nor really all the special in the dry.
