Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

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

I have a winter wheel set with blizzaks on it. Everyone drives slow as fuck and then there's me mobbing in a snow storm like the roads are clear. Make a hell of a difference.

I've been swapping out my tires every November-April for Blizzaks. Proper winter tires are totally worth it though. A WRX with winter tires is a beautiful thing.

A set of 17's and Blizzaks will work wonders in snow/ice conditions ...

I've got Bridgestone Turanza T005s and I like driving with them, they grip well, but I lost two tires in a year. One was during normal driving on a mountain road, maybe I hit the curb, I don't know what's the point if you can't offroad an SUV, and the second was when I was offroading. The sidewalls on these tires are super thin.

I have had COUNTLESS Bridgestone OE tires come from many brands worn out in 20k or usually less. The aftermarket replacements are also junk from Badstone

the stock Turanzas (summer) are so crappy that the soft winter tires feel a lot more controlled and don’t steer by themselves like the Turanzas do.
