granted, im fairly noob to big bikes however I've put continental road attacks on my bike and it's made a big big different to the handling, confidence and warm up time over the stock. Infinitely better! They're cheap too, still Z rated tyres etc etc...

Whats this nonsense lol...

014's are excellent in the wet, you can really take the **** and they will just grip and grip. Mine only ever spin up when I really provoke them to. They have been excellent in all the monsoon, and slimy condtions we have had. Couldn't reccomend them enough...

I had a set of 020's fitted last november and have ridden all throught he rain and snow in them with out them so much as a twitch. I had my first ride on dry warm roads last weekend covering just over 100 miles and they were fantastic. They lean forever and stick from cold. I will be trying Road Attacks next to see what all the fuss is about but as a tried and tested tyre BT 020's rule!! :lol:

against what exactly are you benchmarking them?

is it just the standard tyres or have you used other makes, if so which ones?
