Shiver on Conti Motions -- first impressions

[Hitcher]

I had a set of Roadsmarts on my FJR when I sold it. I rated them too.

Without seeing the pic, normally (from what you're trying to describe) its a case of braking into corners, rather than powering out of corners (normal wear, per se).

I engine brake into corners a lot, and always wear my tyres in this sort of fashion... would have to get you a pic.

Hi Brett,

I had an email from Avon today - you might be interested in the contents - see below.

We are about to launch Storm 2 Ultra imminently, these tyres have similar technology to the VP2. They will give better wet and dry grip than the current Storm tyres and will give around 12% more mileage on the rears too.
Best regards,

I'd be interested in giving the new Storm a spin. I see they've gone multi compound now, so cheers for the info Geoff!

Nothing worse than a twitchy tyre to wreck ones confidence Mr H, but not very fair to rate it on the GC conditions either. I don't believe any tyre would stick on those roads and conditions.

I managed a couple of slides on the Storms and I was totally focused on finding clean lines.

Thanks for that Geoff. I've got the rear Motion up to 46psi and that seems to be helping it. I'll keep them on until they wear out and then return to the solace of Storms.
