Tires Continental or Maxxis

Continental Tires

I run them on several bikes. Not completely puncture proof, but I have only had one or two punctures in the five years of running them. I like them for daily commuting and are my go to.

Pros: good for commuting
Cons: not puncture proof

Used them for many years commuting in London. Normally loads of rubbish/glass/oil on the road etc and were fine.

Pros: fine on rubbish roads

Maxxis Tires

Personally, I will never not recommend Maxxis Re-Fuse. Crappy city streets strewn with broken everything, one puncture in a dozen years. I’m on my third pair only because treads wear out. Not the greatest rolling resistance, apparently, but not really a concern for me

Pros: one puncture in years
Cons: not greatest rolling resistance

2000 miles on them so far. No punctures yet and I ride through terrible roads and potholes. I have noticed the back tire being slippery on wet roads like people mentioned but I don't ride in the wet.

Pros: no punctures yet
Cons: slippery on wet roads
Mileage: 3218 km

These are bomb proof tires. the sidewalls are substantial and the tread is solid. However, they are "sluggish" in that these are not particularly lively tires. On my faster road bike, they dramatically killed the responsive feel of the bike.

Pros: bomb proof tires, solid tread
Cons: sluggish, killed responsive feel

Just upgraded from the stock Toyos to the Continental DWS06+, first time I’ve went for some premium tires and the difference is night and day. The way you feel planted to the ground is next level compared to stock, even more so in the rain.

Pros: planted to the ground

Trust me... okay... I know way too much about tires... my close friend is the owner of Wheel wiz... go for the Viking Contact 7... the only disadvantage is slightly slower braking on wet/dry/ice.... bad ice will take out literally any car... which means what? It's a driver's judgment error, or you should have avoided driving that day altogether. The continental tire is considerably quieter. it has the vibration and shaking. It will last longer. And when you're in SNOW it's actually much better than Blizzaks you will have the actual best lateral G control/turn-in out of any tire. You will have the best acceleration in any tire which translates to better fuel economy and being able to get out of the way of a slow-moving sliding vehicle faster in a sudden emergency maneuver getting movement going FAST can save the day. They really perform well in snow and they will be less expensive... just get continentals trust me and thank me later. much more enjoyable drive

Pros: quieter, better lateral control
Cons: slower braking

I love my Conti Viking 7's. I'm in Eastern Ontario. Great in all conditions. Firm sidewalls...not marshmallowy(225 45 17). Low noise on bare pavement. Unreal treadware for a winter tire.

Pros: great in all conditions
Cons: firm sidewalls

I rode a set of these from California to Panama. Would not recommend. The ride quality is decent but these things will find every fucking shard of wire scraps along the road. I got 3x as many flats as any of the folks I rode with.

Pros: decent ride quality
Cons: many flats
