Tires Continental or Barum

Ending up buying the continental DWS and I am loving it. Like Its so smooth and the road noise is much lower.

The 4 seasons are a great training tyre. They roll well enough for mortals and are pretty durable.

I've rode 4 Seasons, Gatorskins, GP4000s, and prefer GP5000s over all of them for puncture resistance. Plus they have grip.

They seems good through the MN winter, including 2 trips to the North Shore of Superior. It snowed both times, and we never had any issue with traction.

Best all-season tires I've found so far personally.

The continental terra speed tires are only a watt or two slower than the gravel king slicks.

I decided to switch to Continental PureContact tires as they are better rated and less expensive and still are low rolling resistance. I haven’t noticed any loss in range.

PS - for what it’s worth, my snow tires are Continental WinterContacts and I’ve run them for about 6 years so far and I still have over 60% tread left. They’re fantastic.

The tread life on the Conti DW left me wanting too.

Just in case anyone is wondering ContiWinterContact TS810 S are the worst snow tires you can buy. I've got them on my car and as soon as snow hits they feel like worn-out all seasons. I think they were only designed for cold dry autobahns, not actual snow. Horrible.
