I've love my Trail Attacks and have just ordered another set after nearly 10000 miles. The front still has a fair bit of tread left but the rear whilst still legal is well past its best.

I've never noticed them squirming so maybe I don't ride as hard as you?

Maybe you should try Road Attacks instead?

Thanks guys the link was helpfull.
The trail attacks grip well they've lasted 5k but as i say they feel wiered mid corner ,But must say great in the wet

So are your Trail Attacks knackered after 5k then?

No thers stiil just over 2.5mm left on the rear but it's squaring off & i'm off to the dolamites in 3 weeks with the wife on the back ,& was thinking they would be knackered + ill handling b4 getting back.

Metz karoo2 are real good on and off,scarry wear though 2000mls from rear

if they av 2.5 mm left and squared off, they wont handle, dont think theyd last your hols anyway

I have just got back from the dolomites and you will deffo need a tyre that feels nice as you lean from one side to the other (there aren't many straights ). It seems a shame to partly square a new tyre on the way down. Why not get a nice new tyre fitted when you get there?

my trial attack never lasted nearly as well, got 6500 miles out of it, allways lots of grip and handled fine even when well squared off, seemed well matched to the Tourance front, replaced with a Tourance rear just because I got it cheap, would have fitted another one otherwise.

go continental road attacks,cheap enough,great grip more than you need for the 12gs. recommend.
