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.
3rd set of Defenders on mine. Such a quiet and great handling all season tire.
On my Madone I am measurably faster on all my Strava segments on 30mm than 28mm GP5000s.
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.
Had a set put on yesterday and so far compared to the foam lined continentals I feel like they are quieter and no more "can't patch because of foam bs".
I got them today from Costco. I drove like 100 miles after installation, mostly at high speed. These tires are impressive in every aspect, specially comfort and handling
I'm not sure about the noise. I feel they are a bit more noisy of the rough parts of the freeway. More noisy than my older Michelin.
I have not experienced any particular issues with my Toyos (2020 signature), but changed them to CC2s last week after 38,000 miles and a nail. OMG, like having a completely new car -- no cabin noise, float over road bumps, and braking is dramatically better. Can't wait for the snow to fall.
I've used them on track when I was starting out. 3350 lb awd 350 hp car. Chunking on sides. Not a track tire obviously but a great do-it-all.
As someone who was between these two tires and went with DWS06, get the Michelins. I've had issues with vibrations from the continentals that just won't go away. Balanced multiple times by multiple shops. Had all suspension and steering components checked and couldn't solve it.
