That said, swap those 32mm tires for some 25-28mm GP5000s and you'll be flying compared to your current setup
Szia, én azzal megyek, Continental all seasont vettem, ha nem mész sokat nem autopályázol akkor teljesen jó itthon. Esőben nekem abszolut bevált, melegben kevésbé jó a kanyarstabilitása az fontos, télen pedig hosszabb a fékút de alapvetően tapad és meg is áll vele az auto nem úgy mint nyárival.
A few months ago I replaced an old set of [Panracer Gravel King Slick+] 35mm and butyl tubes with the [Michelin Pro5] 35mm with TPU tubes.
Very happy with the performance, they genuinely feel faster, which they are according to [bicyclerollingresistance] they are.
I’d go with the Michelin Defenders. I bought a set of Michelin X Tour A/S 2s (Costco version of Defender 2s) back in April 2023, and after almost 3 years and 70k miles, there’s still plenty of tread left on them. They’ve lasted twice as long as my previous tires now, even with regular rotations.
Michelin defender 2 easily out of those options. It has been a tire that has consistently lasted over 80k miles in 4 of my families vehicles, all with different drivers but regular rotations at Costco. Also has very low rolling resistance so youll save fuel.
Have the GP5000 AS TR 35, absolutely love them. Yes, was a pain to mount but after 2000k, not a single puncture or need to re mount. \u2026. and fast and comfortable
Between those two, I’d go with the Continental PremiumContact 7 the wet grip and steering feel are noticeably better, and on an Audi with 18s you’ll actually feel that extra precision in summer driving. Yeah, they’re a bit louder than the Pirelli P7C2, but the performance tradeoff is worth it.
the comfort quiet vibe of the Toyo Proxes but want to try something different in the same price range, the Continental TrueContact Tour is honestly one of the best upgrades you can make for a Golf 4 TDI. It rides smoother than the Toyos, has way better wet grip (big deal for lighter hatchbacks), and the tread life is noticeably longer.
I had the CC2’s on my Explorer, to replace the OEM tires. They handle great, and are excellent in the snow, but they were very loud, and got louder as they wore, I also noticed a significant reduction in gas mileage, 15-20% depending on season. I eventually swapped them for what is essentially the Pirelli version of the same tire. They are called the Scorpion WeatherActive and were far and away better than the Michelins on my vehicle. Gas mileage went back to normal and they were much quieter.
ripped the brand new OEM tires off my 22 EUV maybe 30 days after I took delivery, put on a set of Cross Climate 2's
That was about 56,000 miles ago, probably buying another set of CC2's early next year.
It could be 80F outside with damp asphalt and the OEM tires would struggle for grip, they are that bad.
