Tires Nexen 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.

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.

Either of those are good, the Yokohama is an excellent tire. Honestly though, I am a huge proponent of Nexen tires, and they have arguably the best warranty in the industry. Either the N5000 Platinum or N'Priz AH8 would be a solid choice here. I sent two kids to college in the Dakota on N5000 series tires, hundreds of miles away, neither one ever had a complaint or issue with their tires.

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.

The Advan wheels on my miata came with dws06+. Was really happy with the performance but what annoyed me so much about them was the tapered profile and narrow tread. Wet performance wasn't a concern for that car so I replaced them with the firehawks in the same size. The tread is almost an inch wider and they dont look stretched on the wheels.

Can't tell for EV, but my nexens on kodiaq lasted like 20k and already fronts were down to 3mm.
