Tires Continental or Shinko

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.

The stock kinergys are quite bad new and once they start approaching 1/2 life left, became honestly dangerous in the rain from my experience. I replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+’s well before the tires were worn out and haven’t looked back. 100% worth it.

Also, I run Continental Race Kings in 29x2.2.

I’ve been very happy with the Continental TrueContacts on two different cars. Good tread life and performance.

Ride Tours apparently run narrow on most rims, I’ve got a pair of them in 32c that measure in at about 29mm even on 19mm rims

Some people like them, I really hate them. I find them slow, hard and not grippy, not puncture resistant at all, heavy. My back wheel would just slide around on its own when it was wet out.
