The continental terra speed tires are only a watt or two slower than the gravel king slicks.
I decided to switch to Continental PureContact tires as they are better rated and less expensive and still are low rolling resistance. I haven’t noticed any loss in range.
PS - for what it’s worth, my snow tires are Continental WinterContacts and I’ve run them for about 6 years so far and I still have over 60% tread left. They’re fantastic.
They’re good tires, the best tires I’ve ever had were Continentals, but these feel solid.
I run conti dws06 on my gti here in the PNW they're great in the dry and wet!
I’m running continental extremecontact dws06 on my rwd coupe.
Continental PureContact LS are probably the best performance all season. They have a 60k mile tread life, perform very well on dry and wet road, but they are a bit on the pricier side.
I did this ride the opposite direction in 2019 in late Summer. It is probably doable on 25mm. I did the ride on 28mm tires, continental grand prix (so barely any tread). The dirt sections are very hard packed gravel and I didn't have any issues even on muddier sections.
I did switch out the stock rubber to DWS06 @ the 12k mark and lost a little on the responsiveness on the onset. Now, as the tires have warn, it has gotten a little better, but still not as nice as the stock rubber. Hope this helps.
Just in case anyone is wondering ContiWinterContact TS810 S are the worst snow tires you can buy. I've got them on my car and as soon as snow hits they feel like worn-out all seasons. I think they were only designed for cold dry autobahns, not actual snow. Horrible.
