Tires Continental or Vredestein

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

Quatrac Pros are the sport/uprated version of the Quatrac 5, which get great reviews for all-weather traction (being 3 peak mountain snowflake rated) and overall good performance.

Pros: all-weather traction, good performance
