typical time on GP5K 28mm is 45mins with a dead shortest time of 32mins with a strong tailwind. Both bikes set up to have nearly identical geo relationship between saddle, primary grip area, and bottom bracket and thus identical posture.
I notice it everywhere in my riding- turns, takeoffs, climbs, I *definitely notice it* on multi hour rides… and I’m no pro.
I went from Kenda to Conti GP 5000s and it felt like I got a new bike. And my speed increased by several mph. You just can't get upgrades like that with any other component
When I switched to Conti GP4000sii, those were 12.2 watts per tire. Total of 24.4 watts.
The difference between them obviously 40 watts (depending on conditions). Yeah, that is a big deal. And you can feel it. One is like pedaling through mud in comparison to the other floating over the road.
DWS06 on all my cars. By far the longest lasting and best performing tire and cheaper than the competition.
My brother has dsw06s on his Focus RS. They're awesome tires but have a short lifespan. I got Conti PureContacts and haven't had a single complaint, they've never lost traction or hydroplaned (not for lack of trying), and are quiet except on perfectly smooth pavement.
I like my DWS06+ set. Not terrible in snow and pretty good in rain.
DWS06+ user here. Amazing tires, especially in the rain.
PS4 AS FTW. 166k miles on my GLI (bought it new) and after couple sets of Pirelli Cinturato P7s… it’s a brand new car again. Unbelievable.
In my experience, P-Zeros were great at first, but got slippery really fast, even when there was plenty of tread-depth left.
I recently purchased a used S60 that came with new P Zeros. They handle well but have a really harsh ride. Avoid
