Tires Nexen or Continental

Ending up buying the continental DWS and I am loving it. Like Its so smooth and the road noise is much lower.

The 4 seasons are a great training tyre. They roll well enough for mortals and are pretty durable.

I've rode 4 Seasons, Gatorskins, GP4000s, and prefer GP5000s over all of them for puncture resistance. Plus they have grip.

They seems good through the MN winter, including 2 trips to the North Shore of Superior. It snowed both times, and we never had any issue with traction.

Best all-season tires I've found so far personally.

The continental terra speed tires are only a watt or two slower than the gravel king slicks.

I decided to switch to Continental PureContact tires as they are better rated and less expensive and still are low rolling resistance. I haven’t noticed any loss in range.

PS - for what it’s worth, my snow tires are Continental WinterContacts and I’ve run them for about 6 years so far and I still have over 60% tread left. They’re fantastic.

I did switch out the stock rubber to DWS06 @ the 12k mark and lost a little on the responsiveness on the onset. Now, as the tires have warn, it has gotten a little better, but still not as nice as the stock rubber. Hope this helps.

They will work good in the winter on ice and snow but they will suffer on dry conditions and the highway. I find that once you are driving over 50 mph (80km) they turn very unstable and very floaty. Also, they will be loud and cornering on dry pavement is pretty bad.
