continential attacks?

#1 Unread post by mysta2 »

I love the tread pattern on Conti's RoadAttack and SportAttack(lame name though) but being in the US where Continential is a four letter word among motorcyclists, I'm wary. Anyone with experiance with them? Stateside vs Worldwide opinion on Continential? Reviews so far seem to be decent.

Unless someone gives me a reason not to, I think these will be the next set of tires my Ducati sees.

I'm also digging the funky tread of thier sport classic TKV tires possibly for my 750.

I missed this thread. I have a pair of these and they are good tires so far. I feel as though they stick very well. I also like the tread patern. They are wearing relatively quick, but they are more performance based, so they tend to wear quicker.

Skimping on tires for your bike is not a good idea. Z rated car tires wear pretty quick too.

So you have the sport attacks? (vs the road attacks, which are supposed to be more of a commuter/tour tire)

Mine are the Road Attack. I'd hate to think how fast I'd eat up the performance ones. The ones I have look just like the picture at the start of this thread. Maybe they both look the same (Road and Sport).

I can't remember which those are, the swipes are slightly larger and shallower on the sports... but without looking at them side by side it's real hard to see the difference.
