Tires Continental or Goodyear

The Goodyears have a bit better comfort but worse tread life. Based on the tirerack reviews most people only got 30-50k miles from them. The Michelins should last 60-80k miles.

In the latest Tirerack comparisons the new Goodyears are surprisingly good and the Cross Climate 2.

I had Kleber, Pirelli and now Continental - all of them I can recommend.

I go with the Assurance ComfortDrive. Lower price and able to focus more on comfort vs Michelin focus on mileage. ComfortDrive is also awesome in rain which you get a lot of in Florida

Try Continental UC6 if you can get the stock. They’re specifically made for grip and silence and considerably better than most stock wheels.

Wow, for road bikes the Conti GP5000 has been the gold standard for a long time. The Aeolus RSL has lower resistance and better puncture protection. I guess there’s a new king in town.

I have Goodyear Forteras on my GC and like them a lot. They're very smooth on the highway.

Just had them installed this weekend at Sam’s club. I have the same impression in terms of noise but they feel like they track pavement grooves more than the OEM so it feels less stable than stock at highway speeds. Overall same efficiency and better grip than the OEMs so I am really happy. Let’s see how they hold up over time!

I replaced mine with Goodyear Assurance Maxlife tires. I'd never paid attention to tire sounds before, but when I started reading that tires can be loud or quiet, I'm judging these to be loud. Good tires, though.

I’ve also gotten “name brand” tires as the OEM tires (Continentals and Goodyears) on new cars and they were poor tires.
