Tires Continental or Kormoran

I think the question you really want to know the answer to is what is the load index on factory 17” tires...my 2018 SE has 17” Continental Procontact TX tires with a load index of 99 (1709lb or 775kg).

I have this wheelset on my Trek Emonda ALR 5. Running tubeless with Continental GP 5000 TL tires.

Although tubeless, I always carry a spare tube, a couple tire levers, CO2, and a patch kit w/ boot. Be prepared.

Sealant works really well on small punctures to point I’ve had a few that I didn’t even realize until after I got home and saw the small bit of sealant plugging up the hole. Only time I had an issue was when I ran over a bunch of broken glass: a small piece got wedged in front tire and prevented sealant from fully plugging the hole. Still, I was able to ride home safely with about 30psi remaining in the tire. Once I got back, I pulled the glass piece and sealant filled the gap. I did top off the sealant inside. No issues since.

Pirelli's quality is second to none as well. Hankooks are also great, used them for tracking a 2007 BMW 335I and those babies were great. I really like Continentals too...the Conact 2 Summer tire was best rubber I ever owned....though not in winter

I’m running Extreme Contact Sports all around. They’re pretty solid.

Continentals are great and I'll probably give them a go next. UHP review was very positive for the Conti Sport Contact 6

I love my extreme contact sport, I drive aggressive and wild at times and it help keep me planted on the road

Honestly for the price, I prefer Continentals. Similar ride quality to Goodyear but at a lower cost.

The Continental DWS series tires are very popular with this car. I've been running them for around 3 years now and have zero complaints. They are excellent in the rain.

bought new conti dsw had them mounted and balanced and the shaking begins 69-78 mph balanced three times and then road force determined three bent wheels, bought new wheels (same style) put on same conti dsw tires. Shake continued not as violent speed 72-76mph. balanced tires twice and then road force determined bad tire. continental warrantied tire and sent new.

My Conti's sound like a 4x4 going down the road
