Wonderful ride quality and gas mileage with the hybrid. Running the OEM continental tires
That being said I have the Conti’s and they're going strong after 50k miles. Much better than whatever came on it (don't remember but it wasn't Conti or Michelin) that only lasted 42k miles.
On my Madone I am measurably faster on all my Strava segments on 30mm than 28mm GP5000s.
I would suggest 30 or even 32mm. My Emonda is set with RSL 51 + GP5000 30mm tubless. It's perfect!
Love the tires BTW. I did a ton of research and settled on these and couldn't be happier over the stock continentals. My kWh/mile has gone up a noticeable amount. Even with me blasting the AC.
Had a set put on yesterday and so far compared to the foam lined continentals I feel like they are quieter and no more "can't patch because of foam bs".
After some research, I decided to give the Contis another try. Except this time, I went with the Trail casing in the Endurance compound out back and Soft in the front (Kryptotal Fr and Re again). Took them out on the trails this morning and it was an entirely different experience from my first one with Contis. They were fast, light, and still had that great traction I remembered. To my surprise, even with the lighter casing, the sidewalls were still nice and supportive. I even hit some chunky rock gardens and they held their line perfectly without pinging the rim.
This post was made last year. I am now in a new vehicle, again with DWS06+ now my 3rd car with them and they are by far my favorite tires I've ever ran. They're perfect for a DD imo. Perfect balance between performance longevity comfort and road noise.
Continental tires.
The service manager of my local tire dealership told me these Continental tires were great tires. Never had continental tires before. The first time there was a bubble on the sidewall of the tire of course they never told me about the warranty or the class action lawsuit over it. So I shelled out $350 to have it replaced. The second time it blew out by the same company who sold them to me but a different location. They told me it should be under warranty and it took a while, but they ended up having no charge But I had to pay the $35 warranty in case it happened again and the tire and balance along with it. Not too long after that tire had the same issue (bubble) luckily I've been through it before and got it replaced for free, but not after a bunch of jacking around and of course, my time my effort and waiting for them to do it and the balancing etc. fees Here I am in July 2024 and another bubble on the sidewall the tire. I'm furious.
