Tires Continental or LASSA

Most likely a Continental or Prelli or possibly a Michelin. From other tires experience on a variety of vehicles, those three brands we have had the best performance compared to their reviews and pricing points.

I'm on GP 4 seasons and they've been great for 7000km and counting. I really should have bought them again. They're a bit worn but they can still hang on for a few more months.

No way. They are far too expensive for commuting duties. I commuted 8000km this year which would have required an expensive tire change just over halfway through (I get about 5-6000km out of the GP5000s I run on my road bike). The Contact Urbans I use instead for commuting aren't *that* much slower, but they're *far* more durable (over 11,000km on my current set and still going strong) and *much* cheaper to boot.

I ride the GP 4 Season 700x28 in urban Memphis, TN, US with tons of glass, potholes, and debris. I find them to be the "sweet spot" balance of puncture/rolling resistance. They don't feel quite as quick as GP5000s to me but far far better than gatorskins, or armadillos, or other "tough" tires.

Yeah, no problems, not a single puncture with the GP5000. In contrast, I recently tried Conti RIDE tour and ooh myy good, the traction is garbage compared to the GP5000. Instantly bought other tires.

The Continental DWS06 is a huge step up for daily use and they hook noticeably better, but they’re still an all-season, so don’t expect drag-radial levels of grip you’ll still chirp a bit if you launch hard.

I have the DWS06+ on my 24 PP, world of a difference versus the perelli summers that came stock. Truly felt like I would die on those things sometimes

If you just want the best real-world pick for a Golf in 205/55R16, skip the test charts and go straight for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 it consistently lands top-3 across every test because it nails wet grip, winter traction, and tread life without the noise/harshness of CrossClimate.

Dws are loud. If you value comfort go for some touring tires

I just had a blowout on a brand new continentals. I’m going Michelin not trust in Continental ever again.
