Rating 4.0

I put Continentals on mine. Had Michelins when I bought it. They barely lasted 20K miles and the ride sucked. Now it feels like riding on clouds compared to the Michelins and handling is so much better.

Pros: better handling, cloud-like ride
Cons: poor mileage, ride sucked
Mileage: 20000 km

Giti Tires

Another alternative is to look for budget tier tires. I went down the rabbit hole recently and Giti is apparently decent enough and performs well as its branded peers in wet conditions.

Pros: performs well in wet

I've had multiple sets of Continental CrossContact LX25 tires over the years and get by just fine every winter. I'm in Columbus though.

Pros: get by just fine

What started as a quick tune up turned into a full retro mod rebuild of my 2005 Trek 1500 USPS Edition and I honestly cannot believe how good this bike rides now. Early 2000s aluminum race frame with completely modern performance. It feels fast, alive, and razor sharp in corners.

Pros: fast, alive, razor sharp

I put on Continental DWS06 tires in 245/40R18 and ran them the last 2 winters. They are good all around. But I feel they lack grip on sharp turns and don’t turn in as much as I would like (in snow). They aren’t fantastic on ice either. They are good if you are going to run one tire all year round. But after the wear to the point the “S” is no longer visible, I imagine the will not do great in the winter and you’ll have to replace them sooner.

Pros: good all around, good year-round
Cons: lacks grip sharp turns, not fantastic on ice, wear quickly

I had the Continental CrossContact LX on my Hybrid Ltd. My service center told me at my last service visit that I need a tire change at 22k miles, and I should budget to buy new tires.. They said Front thread is at 2/10, Back tires 5/10.. I rotated them and switch it the back tires to the front for now. These tires came with the car 3/4yrs ago.

Cons: short lifespan, low tread
Mileage: 35405 km
