Tires Pirelli or Continental

Continental Tires

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.

Pros: lower resistance, better protection

Opposite datapoint: I run Pirelli Race TL Rs 700x30s on my Gen 7 Madone (tubeless FWIW). Way more comfy than the OE 25s (R3) and faster.

Pros: more comfy, faster

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.

Pros: improved handling, quieter
Cons: stock bridgestones terrible
Vehicle: Mazda 3
