Default Conti Road attacks - 200 miles only

I fitted some Conti Road Attacks back in November ready for the winter and ran them in for 200 miles (in one day) and I haven't had a chance to get out on the bike since.

The rear had a puncture on the way home and has been professionally repaired.

Looking for £135 ono plus whatever the postage is for them.
All nicely scrubbed in and ready to go.

It'll be sunny again by the time I get back on the bike so I didn't actually need tyres for the winter after all

Cheers,
Carl

Why would you put different tyres on for winter? Road Attacks are good for all weathers, personally I would never buy second hand tyres, especially ones that had been repaired

I Put the Road attacks ON for the winter. I usually use Supercorsa pro's which ain't so good in the wet. This is the first new pair of tyres I've bought in years. I use race scubs and I've never had a problem with any of them.

So make me an offer. That's what ONO means They are essentiall new tyres. All I've done is wear the shiney coating off. Or are you saying that the first 200 miles of rubber is 10 times the price of the rest of the tyre?

And no, I don't like them. I find them very harsh even running them at 3 PSI under recommended pressures (which, incidentally eliminates their propensity to drop inquickly and makes them neutral steering).

Other's seem to love them though. I ride 80% on B roads and their carcass is much stiffer than the SC Pros which I usually use (and have a shed full of). I also have stiffer springs in it which doesn't help.

Now that I'm not using the bike during the winter, I don't need Sports touring tyres. I can use the SC Pros I already have.


Cheers,
Carl

I must have missed the ONO in your post then or was it you who missed it?-10 TIMES THE PRICE -no but the rear has had a puncture repair hasn't it?-stick them on ebay with your reserve price and see what you get offered for them -nothing near what your asking mate

good luck
