Tires Continental or MRF

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.

Tires are everything. They are the only part of your bike that touches the ground and they make the biggest difference in rolling resistance and comfort.

Spend your money on GOOD TIRES before boosting the performance. The car gets very torquey when tuned, and if you don\u2019t have rubber that can grip the road consistently, you will find yourself spinning if you start out a bit too exuberantly. I have Continental ProContact all seasons.

I have had a similar experience, yes that's the procedure. The tire will be sent to MRF'S factor or Lab, from where they will confirm that it's a manufacturing defect not the users problem. They will give you a replacement.

I burst my Elevate tyre due to my mistake (side wall damage), only 3k KMs on the odometer. MRF rejected the claim but Honda provided new tyre for free as a part of goodwill warranty.
