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.
The original tires were getting slippery so put in new General all season the fall of 2024. Now handles top notch.
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
By comparison to the Continental Pure Contacts, the General RT45s:
\u2705 Cornering feels tighter and faster
\u2705 Traction seems about equal
\u274c Do not feel as \"supple\". Slightly harsher when going over rough pavement
\u274c Do not seem to coast as long
\u274c Slightly noisier
DWS all day I switched this time around and regretted. I’m going back after 15k miles.
