Tires Pirelli or Nexen

I'm using the Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR, in 32mm, because it was top rated for puncture resistance in a tubeless tire. It's not as fast as the Conti GP 5000 S TR, and it may even cost more, but if you're looking for puncture resistance above all else, you should consider them.

Go for Pirelli if you want more durability, Longevity and easier mounting if tubeless.

I ride on Pirellli road 25c tires for years. I had finally replaced them last year. They ride nice and had good traction. I don't think the Conti is worth the money. They seem wear quicker.

I’ve been happy with the Pirelli’s easy to mount and good puncture protection while feeling fast.

I run the pirellis p zero 4s and love them comfortable and roll really well.

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.

If you want fast and durable, Look at Pirelli Cinturato Velo.

The Pirellis are super soft. It improves high speed handling on dry roads, but they wear out way faster. Mine did this exact same thing after about 30k miles.

I am sure Pirelli makes plenty of good tires but I was shocked how terrible the OEM P Zero summer tires were that came on my 2016 mustang. Equivalent summer tires from both Michelin and Continental were quieter, had better grip when hot, had better grip when cold, and performed better in the rain.

Just driven for first time in rain with my new P Zeros on and googling if anyone else finds them shocking in the wet. Seem good in dry but absolutely shocking in wet, thought diesel had been spilt on roundabout at first, but then realised same on any other roundabouts.
