Tires Pirelli or Continental

I am about a week in on these new tires and they feel much smoother than the Michelins did. Not as rough over bumps and potholes, and less road noise.

Eventually I got a set of Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re in 2.4" trail casing and endurance compound, and I haven't looked back since. The knobs are massive, and yet they roll super fast and grip super well. They perform so well in every metric that it just doesn't make sense, but I'll take it!

Pirelli Angel GT/GT2 works great in everything from 32°C/90°F in Italy to below freezing on dry roads and near freezing in rain in Norway.

So far I love these new Continentals.

I always get Continental's "control contact sport SRS+" for my 1st gen. Not the most expensive, but I wouldn't describe it as shoestring either.

I’d go with the Blizzaks. I’ve also driven them on a CX-5 but went with Continental VikingContact 7 on my CX-5 and they’re incredible in every aspect.

Personally I went with the Continental Pure Contact LS tires. You do take a hit on efficiency, but it's much better in the rain and snow and wears much better as well. I have 25k miles on mine now and they look like they will last at least another 75k miles.

That is exactly what I did. I am running 18x8.5 +45 with 235/45/18 Conti DWS06. Very happy with my decision.

Long-time fan of Conti 4000's. Discovered the Conti 5000's were too tight to fit my previous wheelset, Mavic Ksyrium Elite UST.

Currently, pairing Pirelli PZero Velo 4S tubeless with HED Belgium Plus wheels. The Conti 5000's do fit and run well with the HED wheels.

Here’s the thing though: for me, F1 is the worst advertising for Pirelli. Max’s tyre blowout in Baku and blowouts in Qatar, etc? Michelin, here I come!
