Tires Continental or Kleber

Kleber Quadraxer 3 and BFGoodrich Advantage All Season are also made by the Michelin group, as second tier brands, and they have a similar performance profile to the Cross Climate 2 as they have very strong winter performance.

Continental is the best, but expensive.

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.

Continetal DWS 06+ have some fantastic reviews on Tire Rack. I just put some on our "beater", a 2013 1 Series, 6MT.

Conti 4 Season are my favorite. They have a good mix of durability, comfort, puncture resistance, and grip.

I'm using the Continental Sport 02 in 205/50/15, 3 season daily with autocross events. No complaints, plenty of grip dry or wet. Very confidence inspiring tire.

I'm out of Chicagoland (close enough to you) and I rock Continental control contact tires. Best thing in the world for all seasons in the snow. Great in our stupid rain too. You really feel nice and planted in them.

I may go with Continental once I need new tires.

I used to have Continental Audi OEM tire shit in the rain but quiet and energy efficient.

Those looked better but couldn’t be balanced. I got my money back because they had a defect.
