Tires Continental or RIKEN

I had Continental Extreme Contact Sports on my STI, they were great.

I just got the new Continental Extremecontact Sport 02 in September. I’m super happy with them, on par with PS4s in my opinion (and a bit cheaper)

I had one. No problems, dry or wet, and it lasted for 3000 miles, pretty much exactly, without a single cut in it, which is very impressive for city riding. It died of being worn down to the threads in one patch. I would thoroughly recommend these tyres.

Durability is outstanding - over 2000 miles on my current pair with no punctures. Relatively light considering the strength and rolls well - but definitely not the fastest tire. It does ride firm but you can’t have everything. Haven’t had any issues in the rain but I always take it easy when it’s wet.

I have them on my beater/commuter/errand bike

No qualms and they do the job they are supposed to do. I wouldn’t put them on any of my fun bikes, but they are perfect on a bike that I just “set and forget.”

I run them on several bikes. Not completely puncture proof, but I have only had one or two punctures in the five years of running them. I like them for daily commuting and are my go to.

Used them for many years commuting in London. Normally loads of rubbish/glass/oil on the road etc and were fine.

2000 miles on them so far. No punctures yet and I ride through terrible roads and potholes. I have noticed the back tire being slippery on wet roads like people mentioned but I don't ride in the wet.

Normal GP5000s are great. Tubeless variant is a hell to get on the rim. To get tubeless tires on by hand, I go for Hutchinson tires

I had a set of Conti DWS tires that always vibrated -- at least 2 of them. I ended up replacing them all within 5K miles because two of the tires were shredded in a Home Depot parking lot -- they left a bunch of sharp metal on the ground in the back of their lot and, classic my luck, I found it. They ended up paying for new tires under their insurance but because it was a Subaru, I argued I needed to replace all 4 tires. Anyway, the new tires... no vibration anymore. It's one of the best unfortunate accidents I had, haha.
