pauls0311xx Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Does anyone have Continental Road Attack tires on their Bird or used them in the past? I found front and rear for $200 shipping included. Just wondering if it is a decent tire for the Bird and what kind of mileage to expect. I do mostly 2 up riding but like to go solo when i can sneak away. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tyre got almost bottom score in a test compared to other tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbird Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 If you go Conti, go Contiforce. I've had 2 sets of them, and they are great. I got 10k plus out of one set of them, and just put a new set on about 1k ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottw Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 A fried of mine just put a set on his Hyabusa. Very happy with the handling, only 3000 miles so far, but seem to be wearing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykotek-xx Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have the road attack on the rear and sport attack on the front. Love them, huge inprovement over the stock dunlops. So far so good on the treadwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjh Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I run Pirelle tyres on my 99 bird. A Diablo on the front, and a GTS on the rear, so far so good, on second set now, got about 7-8000 kms, a lot of hard acceleration in that lot. They held on good. The temps here vary from 6dgsC in winter (no snow here) to 43dgsC in summer. So the tyres don't take long to heat up in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadOx Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I ran these tires for 6,000 miles and loved them. Combination of road and Dragon. Perfect. Loved them and although I may regret it am trying Pirlellis thi season. You won't regret it................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
