I have this wheelset on my Trek Emonda ALR 5. Running tubeless with Continental GP 5000 TL tires.
Although tubeless, I always carry a spare tube, a couple tire levers, CO2, and a patch kit w/ boot. Be prepared.
Sealant works really well on small punctures to point I’ve had a few that I didn’t even realize until after I got home and saw the small bit of sealant plugging up the hole. Only time I had an issue was when I ran over a bunch of broken glass: a small piece got wedged in front tire and prevented sealant from fully plugging the hole. Still, I was able to ride home safely with about 30psi remaining in the tire. Once I got back, I pulled the glass piece and sealant filled the gap. I did top off the sealant inside. No issues since.
Pirelli's quality is second to none as well. Hankooks are also great, used them for tracking a 2007 BMW 335I and those babies were great. I really like Continentals too...the Conact 2 Summer tire was best rubber I ever owned....though not in winter
I’m running Extreme Contact Sports all around. They’re pretty solid.
Continentals are great and I'll probably give them a go next. UHP review was very positive for the Conti Sport Contact 6
I love my extreme contact sport, I drive aggressive and wild at times and it help keep me planted on the road
Honestly for the price, I prefer Continentals. Similar ride quality to Goodyear but at a lower cost.
The Continental DWS series tires are very popular with this car. I've been running them for around 3 years now and have zero complaints. They are excellent in the rain.
I’ve never used them on a Miata, but I’ve gone through two sets on my Jetta GLI and another set on a big-turbo Audi A4. I think they’re fantastic for the price. Perfect balance of grip and longevity. They’re not the greatest in heavy rain or standing water but they’ll do the job if you take it easy. Obviously not something you’ll want to run in the snow although I did this year due to laziness (couldn’t make it up my driveway). I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set.
I run DWS06s on the 19 cadiz... have been for ~48k now. The rears are still almost to the wear bars, and the fronts were replaced just over ~3k ago. I live in Lorton/DC area... commute into the city. Yes, they're squishy for the first 2k... then they square up.
My last two sets of tires were Hankook Ventus V2, which were okay (no idea how they are M+S rated) and a set of Continental ContiProContacts which I bought after several recommendations from friends and I will never buy another Continental tire in my life, they were terrible in almost every single way.
