Anyway, I got back last night and have done 2561 miles while abroad, about 5000 in total on the tyres. The tyres performed very very well on almost ever surface you can think of! The rear is down to about 4mm now which I think is amazing considering the mileage. The most noticable thing is that after a fair bit of french/belgian autoroute they havent squared at all which I'm very pleased about as I don't need to go and get a new rear on return which I fully expected to do!
The best bit I think was after absolutely gunning it up the mountain towards the col de lombarde gaining about 1600m altitude in 20km of hairpins and sweepers my tyres were HOT to touch, to the point where my hand stuck to the tread on the rear! It hurt! Probably 70-80ºc. So so many of these Last edited by adam; 02-12-12 at 07:14 PM. |

great thread
it's rare to read of such universal praise for a product. would you put these on in preference to diablo corsas? in need of new tyres, have been quoted 200 fitted for the corsa's. cheers will |

Of course, I haven't tried the corsas, so I may not be the best person. |

I'll be honest while the conti's may not have the grip of some other tyres I would like to see someone actually ride the bike so hard that you'd need anything more grippy than them for the road!
