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.
If you want fast and durable, Look at Pirelli Cinturato Velo.
Hopefully Pirelli can develop a tyre that heats up quicker and slides less while cold.
My 1000 has a set of Pirelli Angel GT's that I'm still undecided on
The "high performance" Perelli's that came with my Mustang GT became useless lumps of rock hard rubber at any temperature below 40F, despite being all-seasons. It was bad enough to be a significant driving hazard even on completely dry tarmac. Quickly switched out for Michelins.
Pirelli PZeros came stock on my Mustang GT and they were awful. They used to break loose all the time, I thought about trading the car in the first year because it handled like shit. Then I found a screaming deal on a set of Michelin Pilot Sports so I swapped them at 9000 miles. Night and day difference, it’s like a different car now.
