I just bought these as well, have about 1,600 miles on them. So far slightly less efficient than the stock Continentals (expected), but a quieter more comfortable ride - which was my goal.

Pros: quieter, comfortable ride
Cons: less efficient
Mileage: 2575 km

I am a big sucker for GP5000 S TR, and run them in 32mm. Absolutely love it, and they work really well on hardback/light gravel too, speedy, grippy, and no punctures.

Pros: speedy, grippy, no punctures

But my contis went 12,000km with zero punctures, which is either luck or a great advertisement

Pros: zero punctures, great advertisement
Mileage: 12000 km

Firestone Tires

Those are good tires but way too heavy at 44lbs vs 24lbs for stock tires.They will kill your mileage and performance. I went with Firestone destination at2 in 235/65 r17. Only a few pounds more (28lbs) than stock and they perform great!

Pros: perform great
Cons: way too heavy

I went with the same tire and size with the Model X rims, up from the 19s. I'm seeing about a 9% range loss around town, but I'm also driving it a lot harder now that I have the traction. I do feel like I have a lot more camber in the rear, that I definitely need to take care of. Most surprisingly, I think the ride is so much better than the 19 Cont Rxs. Sound seems ok, but I think I got a bad tire or something because my front drivers side tire makes a lot of noise. I was hoping it would go away, but it seems to have gotten worse.

Pros: better ride, more traction
Cons: range loss, tire noise
