So that we could make an informed decision, my husband and I looked into the variety of available manufacturers. Tires were selected based on several key metrics, including dry- and wet-road performance, noise output, and overall ride quality. We spent a lot of time researching tires and ultimately settled on the ContiPremiumContact 5. If you prioritize comfort, we highly suggest these tires. This is a comfort tire, therefore young riders and those interested in extreme activities should search elsewhere. We couldn't be happier with our decision and think you will be, too.
