Tires Continental or Maxxis

The thing i like about gravel bike is pwede po salpakan ng road WS, or kalbong gravel tires like maxxis refuse na 40mm.

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.

The SportContact 6 have been disappointing in a few areas: poor rolling resistance, high wear, and noticeable road noise. I’d like to improve on those aspects while keeping good wet grip. I don’t mind a bit less dry handling — the SportContact 6 are insanely good there, but I’m not tracking the car, so that level of performance isn’t really necessary for public roads.

I’m using the Continental 5000 TR S 32mm running tubeless.

Everytime I ride I get a puncture! It’s crazy and not sure why. I used one of the tire calculators and it has me at 68psi front, 70 rear.

Rode with a buddy couple weeks back who has the same tires and he got a puncture so bad on the rear it wouldn’t seal, we had to put a plug it.

I might try lowering the pressure and see what happens. Tires are new…
