Tires Continental or GT Radial

Continental Tires

I went from Kenda to Conti GP 5000s and it felt like I got a new bike. And my speed increased by several mph. You just can't get upgrades like that with any other component

Pros: speed increased

When I switched to Conti GP4000sii, those were 12.2 watts per tire. Total of 24.4 watts.

The difference between them obviously 40 watts (depending on conditions). Yeah, that is a big deal. And you can feel it. One is like pedaling through mud in comparison to the other floating over the road.

Pros: big deal, you feel it

My brother has dsw06s on his Focus RS. They're awesome tires but have a short lifespan. I got Conti PureContacts and haven't had a single complaint, they've never lost traction or hydroplaned (not for lack of trying), and are quiet except on perfectly smooth pavement.

Pros: never lost traction
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle: Ford Focus

The stock kinergys are quite bad new and once they start approaching 1/2 life left, became honestly dangerous in the rain from my experience. I replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+’s well before the tires were worn out and haven’t looked back. 100% worth it.

Pros: 100% worth it
Cons: dangerous in the rain

The Advan wheels on my miata came with dws06+. Was really happy with the performance but what annoyed me so much about them was the tapered profile and narrow tread. Wet performance wasn't a concern for that car so I replaced them with the firehawks in the same size. The tread is almost an inch wider and they dont look stretched on the wheels.

Pros: good performance
Cons: tapered profile, narrow tread
Vehicle: Mazda

The Version 1 of the Conti I had on my Z06 for a while and wasn't impressed, got greasy when hot which apparently is better now and slightly sharper turn in over the PS4S.

Pros: sharper turn in
Cons: got greasy when hot
Vehicle: Chevrolet
