Re: quick tyre question
I am sure that they are good enough for you and ( for anyone for that matter) on the road if grip is a concern....tho I am not sure if you ( or me or anyone) is good enough to use the grip that is available from the race attacts. for road riding I would go for the road variants and not race.
Personally all modern bike tyres are good, it's more about the profile as opposed to the grip levels that stand out mostly (regarding feel) for the road rider |

Re: quick tyre question
There really aren't any duffers out there anymore - all modern tyres are great.
My thoughts on the Conti RAs: Read this thread.

Re: quick tyre question
Tyres have improved soo much so, that even my 11 year old TLS actually handles very good on modern tyres
 Not sure how it handles ont the old original fitment MEZ3's?

Re: quick tyre question
I have Conti Road Attacks, done about 3500 miles on them. They have been very good, and the handling far better than the standard duffers that came with the bike.
They have lasted well too, paid about ?150-160 or so delivered, but can't recall where from... |

Re: quick tyre question
I got road attacks fitted around 1000 miles ago and they seem very good so far. Got them fitted at my door for ?150, they seem excellent for that price anyway
