Anybody on Conti Motions?

It's clicks and the term relates to speed not distance...

IE: ''140klicks round the outside of a car in a corner in the pissing rain''= correct. ''but I cut out a rear in 3,000 klicks''= incorrect.

The word does not even exist .. not in the Oxford Dictionary - how can you correct my use of a non-existent word ???

Fucked if I would ever run a PR4.

After that I'm not surprised ...

Seems Michelin is not alone, another tyre manufacture has had a problem or two along the way.

On August 11, 2014, Continental Tire recalled 170,000 defective motorcycle tires. The recall includes Conti Attack, Road Attack, Sport Attack, and Race Attack tire lines. Continental’s Korbach, Germany, plant manufactured all the tires. Affected tires have an increased risk of sudden air loss and tread separation.

Could be an explanation if it was in fact backwards. But its not.

Every brand and type has failures, no armchair expert looking at a pic on the internet can say for definite why that tyre failed

It would be very unlikely to make any difference if it was fitted backwards

Never said I was an expert. But thats enough to stop me buying one.

.....and Angels, .....and Avons Storms. Most manufacturers regrettably have batch problems or some other issue at one time or another.

That is pretty horrific. Got any more photos of the tyre? Are you aware of how the tyre was treated before it broke? By the looks of the bike's tail I'm guessing this was the result of an accident.

One incident short on facts won't stop me using them.

Just checked mine. That tyre is in fact mounted correctly.

Exactly. No large manufacturer of anything complex is immune. The higher the complexity, the greater the chances of failure.

It will me. tyre ripped the tail section off and whipped the shit out of the rider.

I won't buy French tyres.

Any particular reason or do you just hate the french?
