He got rid of the summers and replaced with some high-quality performance all-seasons (Pirelli PZero a/s3). The way the winter climate is going on the East coast, the logic for doing that (instead of proper summers and winters) is becoming a lot more compelling. So, nothing suspicious about that.
I'm using the Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR, in 32mm, because it was top rated for puncture resistance in a tubeless tire. It's not as fast as the Conti GP 5000 S TR, and it may even cost more, but if you're looking for puncture resistance above all else, you should consider them.
Go for Pirelli if you want more durability, Longevity and easier mounting if tubeless.
I ride on Pirellli road 25c tires for years. I had finally replaced them last year. They ride nice and had good traction. I don't think the Conti is worth the money. They seem wear quicker.
I’ve been happy with the Pirelli’s easy to mount and good puncture protection while feeling fast.
I run the pirellis p zero 4s and love them comfortable and roll really well.
Opposite datapoint: I run Pirelli Race TL Rs 700x30s on my Gen 7 Madone (tubeless FWIW). Way more comfy than the OE 25s (R3) and faster.
My Thruxton R had Diablo Rossi Corsa stock tires. The belts were showing by 3500 miles, (they are a tire designed for track use) If you’re looking for high mileage tires, the ones I feel really meet that criteria are the Michelin Road series tires. Amazing in the wet / cold and the compound is very good for upright riding for daily driving.
I just bought an F150 with pretty new Pirelli tires. My old one ran Michelins. The Pirellis just don't ride and perform nearly as good.
I am sure Pirelli makes plenty of good tires but I was shocked how terrible the OEM P Zero summer tires were that came on my 2016 mustang. Equivalent summer tires from both Michelin and Continental were quieter, had better grip when hot, had better grip when cold, and performed better in the rain.
