I was doing a ride last year in 3 year old GP5000S and completely cleaned my bike, tires, rims, etc. It looked spotless, my wife came home, saw the bike on the stand and asked if I bought new tires.
I'm having the Continental VikingContact 8 on my Mazda, must say I am really happy. They are super communicative in what's happening under the car.
Ran the Schwalbe marathons (700x25) for a couple of years but still had puncture issues on gravel/rough roads. Switched to the Continental Gatorskins (700x28) and it's a world of difference; didn't have a single puncture this season.
FWIW - I run 32mm GP5000's on 25mm IW rims; I measured them after a few hundred miles and they were 34.4mm wide.
I have the 35mm as tr on a 25mm rim. Great tires btw. Smooth as butter and very consistent build quality.
DWS06+ performs incredibly well and is priced considerably cheaper than Michelin. I went from PS4S to DWS and actually prefer the Continentals even without price factored in.
Prius where road noise is the main concern, the Continental TrueContact Tour is usually the quieter of the two it rides softer and stays quiet even as it wears.
I have continental extreme contact are around $170 and I like them.
Dws are loud. If you value comfort go for some touring tires
I had the Continental CrossContact LX on my Hybrid Ltd. My service center told me at my last service visit that I need a tire change at 22k miles, and I should budget to buy new tires.. They said Front thread is at 2/10, Back tires 5/10.. I rotated them and switch it the back tires to the front for now. These tires came with the car 3/4yrs ago.
