Looking for a new front, went round a few dealers today in Northumberland. Was thinking about Conti Road Attacks, but everyone pointed me towards BT023s. Whats the general view.

If you enjoy riding at a good pace stay well clear... The 021 was terrible.

Although if it's just for slow commuting I guess I does not make much difference.

I don't do commuting only ride for pleasure, but not knee down stuff. Mainly curvy A & B roads, I tend to keep clear of dual carrigeways and motorways. I usually ride around 200-300 miles in a day and try to be a fair weather rider. Did one 500 mile ride in the rain last year and it wasn't fun (had to get home), so need a tyre that works in the wet.
