Try Continental UC6 if you can get the stock. They’re specifically made for grip and silence and considerably better than most stock wheels.
Wow, for road bikes the Conti GP5000 has been the gold standard for a long time. The Aeolus RSL has lower resistance and better puncture protection. I guess there’s a new king in town.
I take insanely fast turns, also in NYC there are shitty roads and it's been raining and snowing a lot, the stock bridgestones are terriblely awful it feels like I'm driving on ice, changed them out for DWS06 plus 225/45 so the sidewall got a bit bigger and everything else improved, I went from taking 15-20mph turns in the tight nyc roads to now 25+ comfortably, cutting up on the highway has never been easier, both dry and wet, also the car drives even better in the snow. The road noise is noticeably quieter and the ride is smoother although thats mainly thanks to a bit bigger sidewall.
A good solid mid tyre is Conti Super Sport (I think).
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.
Everybody's complaining that they roll like shit. I'm sorry, is this the aero weight weenie sub or the fixie sub? The solution is stronger legs!
I always ride bulletproof tires like these (usually Continental or Schwalbe) around Brooklyn, because otherwise I'd have to change a flat once a month. Waste of time and money.
But having watched DWS regularly chunk badly under autox runs, i wouldn't expect much to be left of those tires at the end of the event. The compound is not designed to handle higher temps.
