Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

And for the winter I bought a set of 255/55/19 bridgestone blizzaks; excellent in the snow!

just put on a “new” old set of conti trail king tires on my mtb that where in my garage for 3-4 years and by a window and they are fine. Been on some black diamond and rock trails with nothing going wrong…

I was doing a ride last year in 3 year old GP5000S and completely cleaned my bike, tires, rims, etc. It looked spotless, my wife came home, saw the bike on the stand and asked if I bought new tires.

I'm having the Continental VikingContact 8 on my Mazda, must say I am really happy. They are super communicative in what's happening under the car.

I thought about CC2's for my Tucson Hybrid with AWD, but went with the Bridgestone WeatherPeak's instead. Didn't notice a mileage hit at all compared to the OEM tires, and they may actually be an improvement. They were a big upgrade in the snow as compared to the OEM tires.

Ran the Schwalbe marathons (700x25) for a couple of years but still had puncture issues on gravel/rough roads. Switched to the Continental Gatorskins (700x28) and it's a world of difference; didn't have a single puncture this season.

FWIW - I run 32mm GP5000's on 25mm IW rims; I measured them after a few hundred miles and they were 34.4mm wide.

Dws are loud. If you value comfort go for some touring tires

Worse stock tire -> we've got Continental EcoContact 6.

Oh heck no to the Conti's unless you like a super soft sidewall that likes to bubble when it passes by a pothole let alone hits one. I don't get the fascination with them other than the price. I ran them on my old GLI and they were neither good in the rain/cold nor really all the special in the dry.
