had the road attacks fitted to my gs with alloys and
unimpressed ...
in the dry and warm conditions when there new there fine , loads of grip
but as soon as it gets cool/cold they turn to crap and start sliding everywhere
and then wet ... ahahah .. on a boring well surfaced wet road there fine , not great but perfectly useable , but throw in a few white lines / overbanding / polished or rough surfaces and they become scary . so scary i replaced them eairly as i was getting to the point i was woring about riding in the wet with them.
i lie i replaced the rear as it was getting low (ile get to that soon) and the front had quite a bit of tread and being a dispatcher i dont get rid of tyres without a real reason!
the rear only lasted 5thou miles and it was on the wearbar so was dead
the front was still very useable but now 2-3thou on and it getting tragicly bad its scaloping (the tread blocks arent wearing flat) and gives a vauge feeling when cornering and let go of the bars in a straight line and they wobble ...
so all in all back to 020's for me , they last 8-10k and i can easily scrape the rockercovers with them on...
oh and as u may have gathered im a dispatcher and ride very quickly.
I tried running tkc80's as a road tyre and i destroyed them in 1thou miles and had more slides in that thousand miles that i have ever had in my life , just an example of my riding style .
oh ps i got a pair of conti road attacks for 130quid delivered thats 120/70-17 and 170/60-17 ... i get 020's for 160quid0 a pair in the same size .. the guy does them in the standard gs sizes (wire wheels) to for 160quid
