Tires Continental or OEM Toyota

A good solid mid tyre is Conti Super Sport (I think).

typical time on GP5K 28mm is 45mins with a dead shortest time of 32mins with a strong tailwind. Both bikes set up to have nearly identical geo relationship between saddle, primary grip area, and bottom bracket and thus identical posture.

I notice it everywhere in my riding- turns, takeoffs, climbs, I *definitely notice it* on multi hour rides… and I’m no pro.

I went from Kenda to Conti GP 5000s and it felt like I got a new bike. And my speed increased by several mph. You just can't get upgrades like that with any other component

When I switched to Conti GP4000sii, those were 12.2 watts per tire. Total of 24.4 watts.

The difference between them obviously 40 watts (depending on conditions). Yeah, that is a big deal. And you can feel it. One is like pedaling through mud in comparison to the other floating over the road.

DWS06 on all my cars. By far the longest lasting and best performing tire and cheaper than the competition.

My brother has dsw06s on his Focus RS. They're awesome tires but have a short lifespan. I got Conti PureContacts and haven't had a single complaint, they've never lost traction or hydroplaned (not for lack of trying), and are quiet except on perfectly smooth pavement.

I like my DWS06+ set. Not terrible in snow and pretty good in rain.

DWS06+ user here. Amazing tires, especially in the rain.

I currently have the Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR tires. They were what CarMax put on when I bought it. I don’t care for the run flat technology as my insurance covers towing as well as I have a plug kit and portable compressor in my car if it’s not bad enough for those to handle it. I was looking at the Kumho LX Platinum KU27 but really don’t know much about the specifics of tires. Looking for advice on my current choice and/or recommendation. Thanks!

I was desperate to find something to replace my GP5000's after they got their 6th puncture in the space of 4 months of riding. Threw them in the trash.
