Tires Continental or SUMITOMO
I popped one at 32k miles so I swapped for Conti CrossContacts, they’ve been great in snow, rain, and light mud.
Go for the Continentals. I’ve done the research for you, and lived it. These tires will take anything perfectly unless you decide to hit your breaks going down hill….gravity was the only thing I found wrong, but what would any other tire do. I’ve had these tires for 4 + years. I swapped them the first 2 years, and ran them straight the last two years, and there’s still .8 tread left from the original . 10. I’m actually trying to wreck these tires so I can buy a new set, but they’re hanging on. My next set will be these tires. I even passed up those famous Finish tire brands nobody can pronounce for these, and glad l did.
I switched to Continentials 2 yrs ago and haven't had a single flat since.
I switched my run flats with Continental TrueContact Tour54 and the experience is night and day. Such a smooth and quite drive. The whole car genuinely feels much lighter.
CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS
Such a better ride for my R55s, plus it lowered me a few mm
I really enjoy Continental Extreme Contact 02, but it’s really only for summer.
I usually run Michelin X-Ice but I gotta say these VC7's are great.
Continental.
I use Gatorskin clincher on my commuter bike. They are very durable, with little wear marks after 2 years of use. But they aren’t light and fast like GP5000s. If you are a roadie, then I wouldn’t recommend Gatorskins for sport rides.
I had continental on mine from the factory. They were also grossly over inflated. Despite adjusting the pressure they wore out in 13k
