Rating 4.0

Durability is outstanding - over 2000 miles on my current pair with no punctures. Relatively light considering the strength and rolls well - but definitely not the fastest tire. It does ride firm but you can’t have everything. Haven’t had any issues in the rain but I always take it easy when it’s wet.

Pros: outstanding durability
Cons: not the fastest tire
Mileage: 3218 km

Firestone Tires

You need some better snow tires. I had Firestone Winterforce 2 UV tires on my Jeep and almost always just needed RWD in the UP unless I drove to breakers and it was 12” of snow

Pros: better snow tires
Vehicle: Jeep

I have them on my beater/commuter/errand bike

No qualms and they do the job they are supposed to do. I wouldn’t put them on any of my fun bikes, but they are perfect on a bike that I just “set and forget.”

Pros: do the job

I run them on several bikes. Not completely puncture proof, but I have only had one or two punctures in the five years of running them. I like them for daily commuting and are my go to.

Pros: good for commuting
Cons: not puncture proof

Used them for many years commuting in London. Normally loads of rubbish/glass/oil on the road etc and were fine.

Pros: fine on rubbish roads

2000 miles on them so far. No punctures yet and I ride through terrible roads and potholes. I have noticed the back tire being slippery on wet roads like people mentioned but I don't ride in the wet.

Pros: no punctures yet
Cons: slippery on wet roads
Mileage: 3218 km

These are bomb proof tires. the sidewalls are substantial and the tread is solid. However, they are "sluggish" in that these are not particularly lively tires. On my faster road bike, they dramatically killed the responsive feel of the bike.

Pros: bomb proof tires, solid tread
Cons: sluggish, killed responsive feel

Just upgraded from the stock Toyos to the Continental DWS06+, first time I’ve went for some premium tires and the difference is night and day. The way you feel planted to the ground is next level compared to stock, even more so in the rain.

Pros: planted to the ground

Long-time fan of Conti 4000's. Discovered the Conti 5000's were too tight to fit my previous wheelset, Mavic Ksyrium Elite UST.

Currently, pairing Pirelli PZero Velo 4S tubeless with HED Belgium Plus wheels. The Conti 5000's do fit and run well with the HED wheels.

Pros: fit and run well
Cons: too tight to fit

The tires are rated at 1 on the tire toughness scale. I forget what it’s called but they are super fragile, garbage tires. They also wear hilariously fast and handle poorly.

Cons: super fragile, garbage tires
