i just got a set of road attacks 500 mile ago they feel great ,iv not got much exp on them but so far so good,very good in the wet (feel very secure ) and in the dry theyre ace(i bet you dont run out of tread)u can get it right over .but i find they 'tip in'very quick, good for the twisties just dont turn in too early.i know u didnt ask but thats my opinion of them :thumbsup:

This is a good point. The first thing that I noticed with the conti's, apart from the cool looking tread pattern, was the profile of the tyre. Quite a bit oval compared to the Bridgestone 0 series. And yes I also noticed it liked to tip over quickly, but still it felt controlled.

*Most places i go to get them in next day. * its my bike dealer , he has the tyres but seen as im too idle to remove the wheels its the earliest he has time to do it all for me 8)

Really?
When mine had a puncture at 4k it was still perfectly visible and the front one I only just changed at 11.5k still has the writing visible.
