Killer_kaw Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Sadly I may have to put fresh rubber on my zrx before this season ends. Plan on a new bike in the spring so not sure how much action it will see next year. Been running Pirelli angel gt's and there excellent but don't figure I'll ever get the use out of another set so I was looking at a cheaper alternative. Any experience with the continentals?

tier10 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I just mounted a set on my zx. Seem to be decent so far. I would consider them to be average. But I haven't pushed them too hard. For the money I think they are a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 My bike had a conti attack (i think thats what it was called) on the rear and it was the biggest bitch to de-bead off the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I ran them for a couple years. My problem was I would only get 4000 miles out of a rear. With the amount of miles I put on in a year it seemed as though I was always putting new tires on. I felt they handled well especially for the price.

Killer_kaw Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks for the info I think I'm gonna give them a shot. Just wondered if anyone has had any crazy handling issues with them. About $160 shipped I figure why not. 18 minutes ago, TimTheAzn said: My bike had a conti attack (i think thats what it was called) on the rear and it was the biggest bitch to de-bead off the wheel. Unfortunately I'm used to that. The only down fall for me with the Angel gt is I mount my own tires an they bead very tight. By far the hardest tire I've had to Bead up.

whaler Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Do not do it! They don't last and they are downright scary in cooler temps and wet. For the same money and longevity you can buy Bridgestone S20's and they will be 3 times the tire with grip, feel and safety. Just one guys opinion.

jschaf Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Are another set of Angel GTs going to break the bank? The spring buyer will appreciate you not being a cheap ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Well that all sounds pretty negative. Not concerned with tread life but the poor wet and cold performance and qc issues scare me a bit. Maybe I'll just stick with what I know works. No need to impress a spring buyer I'm not ready to let go of this one yet. But I'm sure it'll spend a lot more time parked next year.

I went through three sets of CM tired before I finally pulled my head from my ass. They're QC is hit/miss and my last set came with a front that made my bike head shake like it was coming apart. I've never seen more than 2400 miles from any of the rear tires. I can get better mileage from a Pilot Power. I had the same issue with my conti tires, at certain speeds you couldn't take your hands off the grips or it would start shaking the steering left to right. I thought it was the bike and then I switched to Bridgestones and all was right again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbowling Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have a set on my ZRX, they are a good tire for the price ,but don't get the mileage that I was expecting,which cuts into the savings in the long runSent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks to all for the info. Gonna stick with the good stuff. I took a ride up to mid-Ohio Tuesday and after drooling all over a couple of spring prospects the zrx still had me giggling like a school kid on the way home. I think it deserves some quality rubber.
