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

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.

... takes a bit of getting used to It definately takes less effort to get the bike to turn than before

Done over 1000 miles on mine and you can still read "Road Attack" on the back tyre

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.
