typical time on GP5K 28mm is 45mins with a dead shortest time of 32mins with a strong tailwind. Both bikes set up to have nearly identical geo relationship between saddle, primary grip area, and bottom bracket and thus identical posture.
I notice it everywhere in my riding- turns, takeoffs, climbs, I *definitely notice it* on multi hour rides… and I’m no pro.
I went from Kenda to Conti GP 5000s and it felt like I got a new bike. And my speed increased by several mph. You just can't get upgrades like that with any other component
When I switched to Conti GP4000sii, those were 12.2 watts per tire. Total of 24.4 watts.
The difference between them obviously 40 watts (depending on conditions). Yeah, that is a big deal. And you can feel it. One is like pedaling through mud in comparison to the other floating over the road.
DWS06 on all my cars. By far the longest lasting and best performing tire and cheaper than the competition.
My brother has dsw06s on his Focus RS. They're awesome tires but have a short lifespan. I got Conti PureContacts and haven't had a single complaint, they've never lost traction or hydroplaned (not for lack of trying), and are quiet except on perfectly smooth pavement.
I like my DWS06+ set. Not terrible in snow and pretty good in rain.
DWS06+ user here. Amazing tires, especially in the rain.
I’m digging my Kumho Solus on my wife’s 3
I had put 12k on mine before dry rot got them and replaced them with continental tires. Have been good over the 15k miles so far.
I have a similar issue with Continental CrossContact LX20 Eco+ tire on my Lexus. Without any impact or road hazard tire went flat at about 6k miles on my new car. Never seen a tire in such bad shape.
