Default Re: Continental Tyres *Updated*

*A bit of an update on the sport attacks I am using*

3500 miles later and still going strong.
I thought I would have had to replace at least the rear by now but its fine.
The rear is little squared off but thats it (I am puting this down to the motorway miles I have put in going to Soho and back and the few times I used it to commute to Redditch and Birmingham about 1000 miles or so).
I have done all sorts of riding with them (bar trackdays) and they have been great.
In the warm and dry the lean angle seems endless (conti claim 50.8 degrees) and inspiring.
Grip in the dry is spectacular and the tyre gives great feedback and is so predictable.
In the cold and damp as with all tyres, I took the first 10 miles or so fairly steady.
These tyres warm up so quickly its unbelievable.
They still grip so well in the damp but I am guessing thats down to the sticky compound (even feel sticky if you run your fingers over them).
I havnt tried them in the rain yet as to be honest, I dont want to take the bike out in the rain unless I really have to!

So, it looks like when Its time to replace the rear, I will again be using the sport attack.
