Tires MICHELIN or Continental
I run GP5000 with latex inner. Replaced Michelin Pro 4 Endurance and standard tubes. I find the GP5000 to be super grippy, i run 28c front and back at 80 psi
My wife and I put about 5k miles a year (each) on GP 5000s with latex tubes, and absolutely love them. That combination is fast, comfortable, and very durable on our carbon rims. Last year we had 2 flats total between us, so to us, not worth the hassle of going tubeless. The GP5000s also last the full 5k miles before needing replacement. Very highly recommended!!
These are what I race on with latex tubes. They feel faster than 4000 IIs or Bontrager R3s with butyl.
I ride GP5000s (28mm) with latex tubes on my crit bike. Great grip, rolling resistance, and road feel with the right tire pressure.
I like the Michelin power road tlr ran tubeless because they're what's available right now for me. Honestly all the top tires on that site are good.
I run these tubeless and they are the best tubeless for sure, zero fuss mounting, can use a standard pump and orange seal for sealant, if you can’t go tubeless your suggestion would be the next best thing. I’ve found them incredibly durable and a comfortable to ride on no matter the conditions.
My car came with 225/40-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS and they were LOUD. Twice I took the car in to ensure it wasn't the wheel bearings making noise and it was just the tires. I've been really happy with Potenza's in the past but these tires were terrible. I replaced the tires last year with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and they transformed the car. They're quiet and they have a better ride at VW's very high 42 psi recommended pressure. The car handles better in every respect too where as before, it always felt like I was fighting the car on twisty roads. They're better in the rain AND they were cheaper than the OEM tires. Very happy with them.
I have been running Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ for years on my dd 15 GTI S PP. They have been great, if fairly noisy as they age and or in colder temps.
Recently replaced my worn out 18 inch Primaxys (36000 miles) with the Continental DWS06s. It looks like a 5-10% efficiency drop versus the stock tires. I think they are a little quieter on the highway though. Bumps do have a reverb sound the stocks didn't have.
Honestly, the Michelins are generally more recommended here over the Conti's... and after 35k on my 99, the best thing I ever did was get rid of the frickin Michelins, and replaced 'em with Bridgestone Potenza's... SOOOO much better wet traction
