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 😭

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
