Tires Hankook or Continental

Try Continental UC6 if you can get the stock. They’re specifically made for grip and silence and considerably better than most stock wheels.

Yes, I had the Hankook New Englander 205/55R16H for about 4 years on my Mazda 5, and they had just over 60k miles on them. I liked them enough to buy the same thing again. I'm in Massachusetts and they feel great in all kinds of New England weather. I do a lot of driving to work including highway and city. They are grippy in rain, snow, sleet and every combination even at highway speeds. I did get a bulge in the sidewall and kept driving them the last 5-10k or so, even though I knew better. (Don't do this even though it never popped on me.) There was still a little wear left on them, but you have to replace a tire with a bulged sidewall, so I got all 4.

Wow, for road bikes the Conti GP5000 has been the gold standard for a long time. The Aeolus RSL has lower resistance and better puncture protection. I guess there’s a new king in town.

I take insanely fast turns, also in NYC there are shitty roads and it's been raining and snowing a lot, the stock bridgestones are terriblely awful it feels like I'm driving on ice, changed them out for DWS06 plus 225/45 so the sidewall got a bit bigger and everything else improved, I went from taking 15-20mph turns in the tight nyc roads to now 25+ comfortably, cutting up on the highway has never been easier, both dry and wet, also the car drives even better in the snow. The road noise is noticeably quieter and the ride is smoother although thats mainly thanks to a bit bigger sidewall.

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.

I have 3 sets of continental ride tour.

Your generation crv is lucky to get 30k out of a set of tires *WITH* proper alignment, awd, pressures and rotations at ~5k miles. Do not buy hankook tires
