For the mix of highway, logging roads, gravel, and winter stuff you’re seeing, something like the Continental TerrainContact A/T hits that sweet spot not as loud or aggressive as full A/Ts, but way tougher than the stock rubber and really solid in rain and light snow.
Most likely a Continental or Prelli or possibly a Michelin. From other tires experience on a variety of vehicles, those three brands we have had the best performance compared to their reviews and pricing points.
I'm on GP 4 seasons and they've been great for 7000km and counting. I really should have bought them again. They're a bit worn but they can still hang on for a few more months.
No way. They are far too expensive for commuting duties. I commuted 8000km this year which would have required an expensive tire change just over halfway through (I get about 5-6000km out of the GP5000s I run on my road bike). The Contact Urbans I use instead for commuting aren't *that* much slower, but they're *far* more durable (over 11,000km on my current set and still going strong) and *much* cheaper to boot.
I ride the GP 4 Season 700x28 in urban Memphis, TN, US with tons of glass, potholes, and debris. I find them to be the "sweet spot" balance of puncture/rolling resistance. They don't feel quite as quick as GP5000s to me but far far better than gatorskins, or armadillos, or other "tough" tires.
Yeah, no problems, not a single puncture with the GP5000. In contrast, I recently tried Conti RIDE tour and ooh myy good, the traction is garbage compared to the GP5000. Instantly bought other tires.
The Continental DWS06 is a huge step up for daily use and they hook noticeably better, but they’re still an all-season, so don’t expect drag-radial levels of grip you’ll still chirp a bit if you launch hard.
I have the DWS06+ on my 24 PP, world of a difference versus the perelli summers that came stock. Truly felt like I would die on those things sometimes
Continental Gatorskins will prevent flats, but they are the least fun tires to ride. Rolling resistance is terrible.
Gonna get new continentals tomorrow. There is cracking in the middle as well in between the groves that's just as bad so just gonna get it replaced before snow and cold temps come.
