Metzeler Z6 Vs Continental Road Attack

haven't tried the conti's but the Z6's are good, had 3 sets on now, might give the conti's a try next time 2 c.

Richie what kind of mileage are you getting out of them? Im trying to find if one has better longevity than the other

I had 4.5k out of the back and the front still is (just about) legal at 6.5.

I'm about 14 stone, usually have luggage on the bike and that particular back tyre was subjected to a few rear wheel slides/spinning the back wheel up :roll: :lol: .

I've done 4k on my Z6s - lots of that has been quick and/or two up - no real signs of wear at all yet :D

I can heartily recomend the Z6 Tyres as well :lol: excellent in the dry and damn well got me out of bother in the wet once or twice :lol:

I've got road attacks myself. Great grip but they turn in quick, which can be unerving if your only pootling, but don't notice if your 'pressing on' :D

my Z6 rear has just come to the end of it's life at 14K miles. Completely squared off though (64 miles on motorway per day) but still had confidence in them. Replacing it on Saturday with..... yep, a Z6.

I've not noticed anything bad from my Conti's... and they where cheaper then the Z6's.
Even in the wet they seem to ride just fine.
