Conti Street Attack

[Grahameeboy]

Anyone know much about these tyres.

Found a Tyre test and these came out top compared with Powers etc.

Advice please as need to replace mine soon and have Powers...

I had them on my 900 hornet,
loved em in the dry..about 2mm chicken strips left on the rear.
not as good in the wet, don't know if i could blame the tyres or the f'n
crap slippery roads. No major scares tho.
I would definatly buy them again.

Awesum wear rate as well, did 3500ks before swapping bikes and the rear hadn't squared off, the front still had the writing left.

so very minamal wear, should last at least 10k +.

Conti sport attacks are great tyres, dunno about street attacks?

Just a racier version...would you say they were on a par or better than Powers?

The street attacks (is there such a tyre???) are a racier version of the sport attacks? Doesn't sound right....

I'd say the sport attacks are on par or better than the powers yes. They may not last quite as long.

I agree with Kiwifruit! Conti Sport Attacks are an incredible tyre. Best tyre I've used on my bikes...wet or dry

Okay...I get about 10,000 out of rear...front hard to say as they tend to wear more one side and get a ridge...

Was just interested in a change really and they look smart...

Dont you get the latest news down there "Farmer Boy"

I don't see any "street attack" there. Are you talking about sport attacks (http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/motorcycle/general/home/csa_testwinner_en.html)?
If so they are well worth a try, great tyres!

Humble pie....Race Attack...:Oops:

As far as i'm aware it goes like this, RaceAttack (street compound), SportAttack and RoadAttack.
I've run the street compound RaceAttack's and they were really good but did'nt get a chance to get a feel for them in the wet but in the dry, awesome. I've run SportAttack's and I thought they were ok but never really felt at home on them, a couple of unusual slides (on both front and rear) probably tarnished them for me a little and I really did'nt like them much in the wet either.
I've run Pilot Power 2ct's and I keep coming back to these as a tyre that has all the grip I need both wet and dry and lasts reasonably well.
I really like the RaceAttack's and would'nt hesitate to put the on my bike again but they wear out way way too quick so i'm most happy to stick with the Pilot Power's.

Note: I'm currently trying the combo of Pilot Power 2ct front and Road 2 (2ct) rear and that sems to be all good so far

Note: I personally think that the street compound RaceAttack's are more a competitive tyre with the Pilot Power's than the SportAttack.

And as for RoadAttack's, you won't see them on my bike..

Powers it is then...interested in your reason for Road CT2 on back...guess the front is they key area and I found the Power CT2 a lot better than Power at front...is it a wear issue for you at rear.

[Scouse]

Look Graham any old tyre will do for your rideing style its not as if you get off the edge on them now is it?

[NZsarge]

is it a wear issue for you at rear.

Kinda, was'nt too sure about putting a tyre that's as soft as the Pilot Power on the back of the ZX14 although that said i'm pretty sure Unit is running standard pilot Power's (rear) and is getting good milage.
This combo is a bit of an experiment for me to see what milage i'll get out of the Road 2 and how close to wearing out together the combo will be.

Cool...the SV doesn't really have the same wear issue.

I'd suggest that the front will be toast before the rear. I'm running PR2s (as you know) and the front is wearing off the shoulders more rapidly whilst the rear is not really squaring off (more sort of flattening off the original curve across the tyre. The front is close to what I call triangulating...the centre is hardly worn at all.

Hmm, yeah that could well be the case. I put the the PP front on 2500km before the Road 2 rear and i've done approx 3500km on the front altogether and it's only juussst showing sign's of wear now.

[MSTRS]

3500, eh? Do you want lessons on how to make 'em really last?

[Quasievil]

here is my review, Ive been racing them on the motard, very good tyres
