Continental Road Attack tyres

Hmm

The things you find to do when its raininig eh!

Well, lets hope it stops. We're playing on a rooftop terrace in Villefranche sur Mer. Some of U2 live there, so maybe they'll come along for a wee singsong

I had Conti Sport Attacks fitted to my recently departed Aprilia Tuono Factory, they were excellent wet and dry, I daresay the Road Attack version will be impressive as well. I read somewhere that the chap who designed the Pirelli Corsa range of tyres went on to work for Continental and designed the Attack series tyres.

I put Road Attacks on my CBR around the time I bought the GS last october. I thought I'd share my riding between both bikes but I've done 13k on the GS and less than 1k on the CBR So not much experience, but they seem like a good tyre and I'd be interested to hear what mileage folks are getting from them fitted to GSs

Update on the Conti's

These Roadattack tyres are simply the business. Much more impressive than BT020 gripwise, especially in the wet. I always felt the BT020 to be a bit twitchy, and the ABS always kicked in a bit earlier, especially on the rear with the BT020 than it eve has with the Conti's.
Had them on for over 5,000kms now, and they still have the same again treadwise I'd say. After 5000kms, the TKC80s I had previously were bald to an illegal degree. The BT020 I had before that would last for around 8-9000kms, so looks like the Roadattack will easily beat that. For 200 euros shipped to the door, I'm definitely gonna get another pair...Highly recommended...
