I would recommend a different front if that's your goal - maybe the Vittoria Barzo or the Continental Cross-King. They're both handling-oriented tires rather than pure speed, but don't really give up a lot on the speed front... like the Rekon does.
Conti tires are great on cars. I always get their all-season Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ for my suv's because they are rated like a 10 on rain and even an 8 in the snow, which is amazing for an all season that's not dedicated to snow. Plus they have a 70k mile warranty.
Some of the best tires I ever ran were a set or Conti Sport Attack's
I got 32k miles out of my OEM Continentals - I could have pushed them for another 5K miles (I’m in the desert so no snow and limited rain). That’s good enough for me, so I got another set about a week ago.
I’m getting the same continentals again. They’re whisper quiet.
I have carbon wheels and ride very rocky trails 6-8 hours/week. I use Kryptotal Fr and Kryptotal Re, both in enduro soft, and I don't use inserts. They are great tires. Excellent grip, fast rolling.
It may not be universal, but I can tell you from my experience, Continentals and damn good tires.
I highly recommend the Wildpeaks. Had them on my 2500. Got nearly 80k out of a set.
I've had the Falken Wildpeaks now for about 40,000 miles. I didn't notice any gas mileage change. The only issue with the tires is that as they have worn, the road noise has gotten pretty loud. 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn.
Every single VW I have owned that came with Continental Tires I have had to replace them well before their tread "Lifetime" This time I need to replace a set at 22k miles because they have hit their wear bar, this despite regular rotation. Absolute TRASH!!!
