speedytriple Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Just ordered a set of these from motosport.com$ 155 shipped for a 120/180 setup. I know Paul runs these on his fz6 anyone else try them. For the money Paul says there are pretty good. They also have some good prices on other combos.

granda080 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I just got a set of them as well. I am yet to mount them. Oldschoolsdime92 has them on his Triumph and really likes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyjr Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 So far the've been getting pretty good reviews for "value sport touring" type tires. Conti really brought these out to help compete with lower price competitors (Shinko manly). Sure there are "better" tires out there but nothing in that price range, with as much R&D as these Conti's have. I am currently running the next model up (Conti road attacks) on my VFR and am hoping to try out their new Road Attack IIs when i'm do for a new set.hope you enjoy the new rubber.

speedytriple Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah I figure for$ 155 shipped they wont be track tires but my riding consist of 80% commute and 20% sport riding. If they last one season for the money that's fine. Just got tired of running pilot power to the point the middle was flat for twice as much money.

ponyjr Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 ya, if you mostly commute on your bike your better off going for a tire like the conti motion. next time i'd look at the attack 2s. more milage and more grip! they claim up to 30% more milage than the road attacks, which will last longer than the motions, and grip compared to pilot powers! and better yet, no "break in" time. http://contiroadattack2.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have then with about 8k on them. Great tires. They have survived coshtown rides and lots and lots of highway miles. Even a few dirt roads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Paul mine should be here tues same price you payed for 120/180 combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedTriple44444 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I like the Conti Roadattacks. I've used them and the Trail Attacks (which is almost the same tire) on my Vstrom. Very good grip and stability, and long wearing for a grippy tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I went through 3 Road Attack rears. Good mileage and plenty grippy for leaning through the twisites. When I burn through my PR2, I may give the RA2 a try.There are lots of good tire choices these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
