Tires Continental or Vredestein
Since virtually all of my driving is on pavement, I went the running shoe route with a set of the Vredestein Hypertracs. They've been excellent, in the dry, the wet, and light snow.
Autobanden. Altijd Conti’s of Michelin
Wonderful ride quality and gas mileage with the hybrid. Running the OEM continental tires
That being said I have the Conti’s and they're going strong after 50k miles. Much better than whatever came on it (don't remember but it wasn't Conti or Michelin) that only lasted 42k miles.
On my Madone I am measurably faster on all my Strava segments on 30mm than 28mm GP5000s.
If you do get new tires you should consider Vredestein Hi-Tracs. I replaced the oem bridgestones with these and they have been tremendous.
I would suggest 30 or even 32mm. My Emonda is set with RSL 51 + GP5000 30mm tubless. It's perfect!
Love the tires BTW. I did a ton of research and settled on these and couldn't be happier over the stock continentals. My kWh/mile has gone up a noticeable amount. Even with me blasting the AC.
... Continentals ... incredible to 50% tread wear in my experience ... then not so incredible even with 5-6,000 mile balance/rotations.
Hilarious because I did for the first time last year with the same tires that came on your areton that came on my golf sportwagen. Absolute horrendous piles of ****. They are worse than the worst set of linglongs. They shouldn't even be approved for road use. switched to a set of Michelin CC2 and they are better in absolutely every metric by 250%. They are better in the snow than the contis were on dry pavement.
