So aside from the cup of soup jokes, is any riding on Continental tyres?
So aside from the cup of soup jokes, is any riding on Continental tyres?
I have a continental rear and a dunlop TT900 front. For $100 there a great tyre, imo... Dont take long to warm up and are sticky enough to medium to fastish road riding. Found it was great around Manfeild as well.

Thanks Str8Jacket. Will be interested to know if anyone else has experience of them. What bike do you ride (with the Continental on)?
is continental and conticity the same thing?
if so I had one on the back of my late fxr150 but hated it and replaced it with BT39 at 129 or so. it was a much much better tyre.
I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........
The new Contis are designed by the guy who did the Diablo series. They seem pretty good on paper but I haven't tried them yet.
The Attack series are one of few brands where the manufacturers say you can mix sport and touring tyres. They also need more air pressure than some makes.

Yeah, but I have a KR150 so my tyres are pretty small. Your size probably wouldnt be as cheap?Originally Posted by sexy beast

Hi MDB, they're an awesome tyre, I had them on my GSXR1000, they gave immediate improved feedback, the Bridgestones I had on it kept letting go. Then switch my Duc to them after Pilot Powers, they give a lot more feedback, they hold well in the wet, the bike tips in a lot smoother and I only got 3000kms on the Powers, whereas the Conti's have done 5000kms so far and just over half worn. They inspire a lot of confidence. They are designed to heat up at lower road temperatures than a lot of other tyres, and suit NZ conditions. Well worth the money. Everyone I know that has tried them say the same thing. I have road Attacks on as I do a lot of touring, but will try the Sport Attacks next time too.Originally Posted by mdb
I was ready to put the Conti's on, until I looked at the reviews in Mag's from the UK showing that the Diablo Corser's and the Pilot powers were a bit better. After Umming and Arring, I went with the Pilot powers - and holy crap they a brilliant, compared with the BT014's that came with the bike.
Nonetheless, like Cowpoo's said, along with what Kerry at Sawyer's has said, the guy's and girls on the Sport Attacks are absolutely lovin them! Not only good grip and warm up times, but also good durability.
What more could you ask for!

Thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like people with them love them and they are a great tyre. So long as it holds onto the road I'll be happy!!
How much are the SportAttacks? Say, for a 180 rear?

got a road attack on rear and a pilot sport on front,rear conti is great have done about 5500 kms on rear and still has about 3 mm in centre
I was thinking Conti's next. I've heard good things too. Undecided about sport or road though. At this time of year, 90% of my riding is commuting. In summer it's closer to 50/50.
