Continental tyres?

[Trolley]

The only thing I would say is as a touring tyre I got to the edge very quickly in the early sessions. It was something in the back of mind during the day but then again I was scrapping my knee in the usual places at Ruapuna.

Cheers NinjaBoy, this info really helps. Sounds like the RoadAttacks will be more than adequate for my riding level, as I'm hardly a knee scraper ....yet! ....Infact I'm still a bit of a blouse through corners - but confidence is increasing fast and I dont want to find out the hard way, one day, that my capability has ovetaken my tyres capability!! But that time will probably be a few more tyre changes away by the sound of things...!

thanks alot!

Well it looks like Conti road attacks for my level of riding also. From what you have had to say on the thread they seem to be quite adequate. So now it's of to my tyre bloke to try to cut a deal he quoted me $530. So I am going to hit him up to fit them for the $530. Fitting down our way costs around $60.

I would like to thank you all for the brilliant feedback. That's what I like about KB. Most members are real helpful. But unfortunately we still have some right pricks on board also. But hey you get that on most forums anyway.

7.5K on the Conti Sports and they are only getting better! Plenty of life left on them still.

Yes Whitelocks (Shane) but don't tell him I said so. You will have to do your own haggling with him.

Mind you I get through around 5 rear and 3 fronts a year. And they know that. Plus I buy my Q8 oil and filters from them. And spend shit loads on other things like boots, a Jacket, full set of Oxford panniers last year. So I have just a wee bit of bargaining power but not to much mind.

WTF? This is the only post I read in the thread, but that is a very expensive average quality tire! 12 months ago that much would get you a super corser pro FFS.

The worlds gone mad, how do I get off?

I've had conti attack (softs) on the scoot for 3 days now. Bloody excellent, very good leaning tire, very neutral feel, good grip (when you can keep the heat in them). A+ for effort.

So, I'll run Metzler M3's in the winter, Attacks on the track and during the summer. Sorted.
