Does anyone else have bad experience with Conti tires? Car, bicycle, motorcycle… I find they wear out quickly, have less traction, are more flat-prone, and have much weaker sidewalls than tires in the same market segment. I gave up on Conti on my bicycle when the sidewalls would start to disintegrate ~1500 miles. My car and motorcycle both came with Contis from the factory. Just terrible. I put Michelin Pilot Sport on the car and motorcycle, and Vittoria Rubino Pro on the daily commuter. Never looked back.
I’ve only had Kenda, Bontrager, and Chao Yang: All of them pretty much fine. I’ve heard a lot of people speak highly of GP5000s though.
As much as I’d love to try GP5000’s, a set would be something like $200+, while the Ultra Sport III I’ve been using are $29 each with zero issues and plenty of tread after 3000km.
Unless I’m racing for money, I can’t justify the premium. 😮💨
Aren’t they like $50 each?
In Canada, the lowest end in the series are over $100. The tubeless version is $140 😭
