If you can afford them, the Continental Viking 8 are stellar. Best winter tire I've ever owned,
For the mix of highway, logging roads, gravel, and winter stuff you’re seeing, something like the Continental TerrainContact A/T hits that sweet spot not as loud or aggressive as full A/Ts, but way tougher than the stock rubber and really solid in rain and light snow.
Maxxis Maxxlite 29x2.0
Good tire if you have a lot of paved transitions between gravel sections. 375 grams per tire.
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 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.
Love the DWS
They wear down fast though
I just had a blowout on a brand new continentals. I’m going Michelin not trust in Continental ever again.
