Continental Tires

I have this wheelset on my Trek Emonda ALR 5. Running tubeless with Continental GP 5000 TL tires.

Although tubeless, I always carry a spare tube, a couple tire levers, CO2, and a patch kit w/ boot. Be prepared.

Sealant works really well on small punctures to point I’ve had a few that I didn’t even realize until after I got home and saw the small bit of sealant plugging up the hole. Only time I had an issue was when I ran over a bunch of broken glass: a small piece got wedged in front tire and prevented sealant from fully plugging the hole. Still, I was able to ride home safely with about 30psi remaining in the tire. Once I got back, I pulled the glass piece and sealant filled the gap. I did top off the sealant inside. No issues since.

Pros: sealant works well
Cons: loses air pressure faster

Pirelli's quality is second to none as well. Hankooks are also great, used them for tracking a 2007 BMW 335I and those babies were great. I really like Continentals too...the Conact 2 Summer tire was best rubber I ever owned....though not in winter

Pros: best rubber ever
Cons: not good in winter

Honestly for the price, I prefer Continentals. Similar ride quality to Goodyear but at a lower cost.

Pros: similar ride quality
Cons: wore pretty quickly

The Continental DWS series tires are very popular with this car. I've been running them for around 3 years now and have zero complaints. They are excellent in the rain.

Pros: excellent in rain, zero complaints
Vehicle: Volkswagen

If you're interested in a good cheap winter tire the new Continental VikingContact 7's are super cheap on tire rack. I just got a set of four for $700 from Tire Rack and they handle great so far and are just as quiet (actually more so) than the stock 19's I had on before. Highly recommend them.

Pros: handle great, quiet
Cons: super cheap

I ordered the Continental PureContact LS. Reasonable prices (I think they were 240 a piece with installation, tax, and balance from Discount Tire). No noticeable impact to rod noise or range. Supposed to be very good in all weather conditions and have a 70k mile warranty. Very smooth ride and definitely notice better handling in rain and the light snow we’ve had here.

Pros: smooth ride, better handling
Cons: no impact to noise
