I've been using Continental GP5000's with latex tubes for several years and have had great service out of them. I generally get about 5,000 miles out of a set and might get a puncture every 2,500 miles or so.
I run GP5000 with latex inner. Replaced Michelin Pro 4 Endurance and standard tubes. I find the GP5000 to be super grippy, i run 28c front and back at 80 psi
My wife and I put about 5k miles a year (each) on GP 5000s with latex tubes, and absolutely love them. That combination is fast, comfortable, and very durable on our carbon rims. Last year we had 2 flats total between us, so to us, not worth the hassle of going tubeless. The GP5000s also last the full 5k miles before needing replacement. Very highly recommended!!
These are what I race on with latex tubes. They feel faster than 4000 IIs or Bontrager R3s with butyl.
I ride GP5000s (28mm) with latex tubes on my crit bike. Great grip, rolling resistance, and road feel with the right tire pressure.
I run these tubeless and they are the best tubeless for sure, zero fuss mounting, can use a standard pump and orange seal for sealant, if you can’t go tubeless your suggestion would be the next best thing. I’ve found them incredibly durable and a comfortable to ride on no matter the conditions.
The Continental DWS 06 were indeed better.
I've been very happy with the DWS06 for more than 100,000 miles.
I'll be running the same Continental Winter Contact SI on the explorer. They did fine last year for me.
the Contis (ContiProContact NON Eco Plus) that came stock on my '14 Jetta were utter crap. Couldn't balance them despite multiple shops and Road Force, etc. Replaced with el cheapo Hankooks and it was like a new car, smooth as silk.
