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.
These are bomb proof tires. the sidewalls are substantial and the tread is solid. However, they are "sluggish" in that these are not particularly lively tires. On my faster road bike, they dramatically killed the responsive feel of the bike.
Just upgraded from the stock Toyos to the Continental DWS06+, first time I’ve went for some premium tires and the difference is night and day. The way you feel planted to the ground is next level compared to stock, even more so in the rain.
Trust me... okay... I know way too much about tires... my close friend is the owner of Wheel wiz... go for the Viking Contact 7... the only disadvantage is slightly slower braking on wet/dry/ice.... bad ice will take out literally any car... which means what? It's a driver's judgment error, or you should have avoided driving that day altogether. The continental tire is considerably quieter. it has the vibration and shaking. It will last longer. And when you're in SNOW it's actually much better than Blizzaks you will have the actual best lateral G control/turn-in out of any tire. You will have the best acceleration in any tire which translates to better fuel economy and being able to get out of the way of a slow-moving sliding vehicle faster in a sudden emergency maneuver getting movement going FAST can save the day. They really perform well in snow and they will be less expensive... just get continentals trust me and thank me later. much more enjoyable drive
I’ve had Contis Pro Contacts on 2 cars and I loved them! I did have 2 bubbles through the their wear.
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.
