Wonderful ride quality and gas mileage with the hybrid. Running the OEM continental tires
I know this is an old thread but everyone in it was wrong. The Toyo’s are far in away better at dry grip than ps4s and better for track days as they are far less likely to chunk under heavy loads for multiple laps. It’s faster in the dry than a pilot sport 5 which is faster than a 4s.
That being said I have the Conti’s and they're going strong after 50k miles. Much better than whatever came on it (don't remember but it wasn't Conti or Michelin) that only lasted 42k miles.
On my Madone I am measurably faster on all my Strava segments on 30mm than 28mm GP5000s.
I would suggest 30 or even 32mm. My Emonda is set with RSL 51 + GP5000 30mm tubless. It's perfect!
Love the tires BTW. I did a ton of research and settled on these and couldn't be happier over the stock continentals. My kWh/mile has gone up a noticeable amount. Even with me blasting the AC.
Had a set put on yesterday and so far compared to the foam lined continentals I feel like they are quieter and no more "can't patch because of foam bs".
After some research, I decided to give the Contis another try. Except this time, I went with the Trail casing in the Endurance compound out back and Soft in the front (Kryptotal Fr and Re again). Took them out on the trails this morning and it was an entirely different experience from my first one with Contis. They were fast, light, and still had that great traction I remembered. To my surprise, even with the lighter casing, the sidewalls were still nice and supportive. I even hit some chunky rock gardens and they held their line perfectly without pinging the rim.
No issues other than one blown front Conti tire after hitting a small pothole.
My buddy had a set of them a long time ago, lasted forever but zero grip, like ice skating in the rain.
