Conti Attacks going on tomorrow! Woohoo!

[Wolfman]

Ok, good riding weather aint far off, and i need some decent Sports rubber to replace my current semi sport - semi touring tyre set up ( Pilot Power 2CT on the front, Pilot Road 2CT on the rear) which has served me well, on my many long trips earlier this year...

So i thought of getting Pilot Power 2CT's front & back, as they grip like poop to a blanket in Sport mode, but felt like a change...time to try something different, and i have heard so many good things about Conti's, I thought it might be time to grab myself some of Conti's sticky hoops for the spring riding season....

Well tomorrow i am getting set of Conti Sport Attacks fitted, 120/70 ZR rated front, 180/55 ZR rated rear....it's the stickiest road trye they do, before moving up to the super sticky, not road legal, Race Attacks.

Best part is, after being quoted $560 fitted & balanced at 3 different shops, i managed to get them for the awesome price of $465 fitted & balanced, from our friends at Maxi Moto....awesome!

Now it's just a case of scrubbing them in, and going for a decent blat...now that my front end is straight again.......which is another thread all in itself!

Here's a picture of the new hoops i am talking about.

I have used the Road Attacks on several bike and have been very pleased. I doubt you will be disappointed.

I tried different tire compounds on the front and rear like you mentioned and I agree the handling sucks when I want to push it.....I put a Metzler sport tech touring tire on the rear to get more milage out of it and left the Dunlop Sport Max on the front because it still had plenty of rubber left,and it totally changed my bike in corners....The rear will get loose realy easy while the front stay's planted causing a drifting sensation that I don't care for...I will keep a matching set of sport tires on it from now on...I'm going with Full Bore tires..next month..I can get a realy good deal on them at Shreveport motor sports...

Have never heard or seen Full Bore Tyres.....until i just googled them, obviously we dont have these tyres as an option in Australia....

matching tyres do help, but in defence of my last set up, if i had a soft sticky rear on the bike while is was touring, i would of had a square rear tyre real quick....and handling is not such a huge priority when yu are doing 100's and 100's of kilometres on dead straight roads....

i plan to stay away from straight roads for a while...:sinister:

Man i just had another look at the Conti Race Attack tyres....sweet things...but maybe just a little too track focused for everyday use...but still it was tempting for about 5 minutes to go the "full biscuit"!

Those Race attack streets will get you in trouble..lol...the filth will try the old,"Tread doesn't go out to the edge of the tire" routine on you...lol.

Also you do get some water on the road around your place even in the dry, and dry weather tires, cold with water on the road doesn't sound user friendly...lol.

I said tempting.....gonna stick with the Sport Attacks...have just been reading up on them, and a few reviews...interesting fact, these tyres were designed by the same guy who designed the Pirelli Diablo range...

Lots of very positive feedback out there for these tyres...
