Continental RaceKings of the Black Chili Protection recipe with a couple ounces of Stan’s sealant in each tire. I ride in goathead thorn country and 4 tires on 2 bikes are full of thorns. I never get flats.
out of the two you posted i like Contis , usually quiet well wearing affordable tires , i find the Michelin tires eventually get hard and noisy, will last forever but who cares if they drive you nuts every day , just my opinion.
Continental Extreme Sport Contacts on one 450whp RWD car and Michelin PS4S on a 500whp AWD car. No complaints for either.
I've had my '22 FWD XLT since last June. I regularly get 36+ in summer, but only 30 in (MN) winter with snow tires.
Last month, driving in the rain at night, and dropped a tire off the shoulder into a pit hole, and blew my front passenger tire completely out. Replaced them with Conti DWS06+, and couldn\u2019t be happier with the new tires.
Same. Went from Pirelli P7 All Season Plus to Continental Control Contact SRS+ and basically paid $900 for everything including installation.
Within a couple weeks I tossed the summers and had Discount Tire install Continental DWS 6+ tires. I haven’t looked back since. I have over 27k miles on them. Lots of tread left (rotate every 5k). Upper mid west roads.
Granted, I went from Yokohamas to Continentals, but the increases are huge.
Maybe I'm just luck as far as flats go, but I've never really been pleased with the ride and grip trade off for something like the 4 Season compared to something more in the "performance" category.
Not caring about rolling resistance is one thing, but something like a GP5000 (or similar tire from whatever brand,) just rides better.
Every set of Contis and Michelins I have ever seen wear for absolute crap, lose all of their grip after a short amount of mileage, poorly riding, compromised in handling, and are LOUD to the point of distraction....Right up until they are a bare, poorly weathered carcass at less than 20k in mileage. They have never seen worth the price that they charge for them.
