Tires Continental or MRF

All conditions were great EXCEPT wet root. So I'm also in the 'waiting for enduro super soft' camp.

Compared to Maxxis Assegai(grip) + DHR(terra) both exo+:

\* Conti feel more stable than exo+ but not worlds apart

\* Conti roll significantly faster (prob mainly due to Assegai being very slow)

\* Assegai maxxgrip has WAY more 'chemical' grip vs KR-F enduro soft. (Super soft is roughly the same)

\* Conti have more stability in side knobs and more 'physical' grip in loam

\* KR-R as better breaking traction IMO but is also heavier.

I would recommend a different front if that's your goal - maybe the Vittoria Barzo or the Continental Cross-King. They're both handling-oriented tires rather than pure speed, but don't really give up a lot on the speed front... like the Rekon does.

Conti tires are great on cars. I always get their all-season Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ for my suv's because they are rated like a 10 on rain and even an 8 in the snow, which is amazing for an all season that's not dedicated to snow. Plus they have a 70k mile warranty.

Some of the best tires I ever ran were a set or Conti Sport Attack's

I got 32k miles out of my OEM Continentals - I could have pushed them for another 5K miles (I’m in the desert so no snow and limited rain). That’s good enough for me, so I got another set about a week ago.

I’m getting the same continentals again. They’re whisper quiet.

I have carbon wheels and ride very rocky trails 6-8 hours/week. I use Kryptotal Fr and Kryptotal Re, both in enduro soft, and I don't use inserts. They are great tires. Excellent grip, fast rolling.

It may not be universal, but I can tell you from my experience, Continentals and damn good tires.

I use Gatorskin clincher on my commuter bike. They are very durable, with little wear marks after 2 years of use. But they aren’t light and fast like GP5000s. If you are a roadie, then I wouldn’t recommend Gatorskins for sport rides.

Just this morning I changed out the Conti TX's for Conti DWS06's. Not something I wanted to do just after buying a brand new car, but already had a bubble on one tire. Didn't feel comfortable just replacing it. I replaced all 5, including the spare.
