Hey guys, I just thought I would let you guys know I just ordered a set of ContiSport Attack Radials. Nobody has given these guys any reviews. The net has a lot of good things to say about them. And I am also not one to just follow the lead without serious gut wrenching research. I also think some guys are not willing to be the guinea pig. So here I am. I should have them in a few days and start giving reviews. If this isn't wanted by you guys I will just stop writing and enjoy the money I saved.
Peace

Hey, I have had these tires on for about 3000 miles now, and LOVE them!! I will definitely buy another set. They stick like glue, but break when needed. Phenomenal in corners, I have 2 track days on this set and you can barely tell. I love the pattern.

Let me know what you think on your bike.

I just got the tires in the mail. Ordered Monday night. Got them on Thursday. Basically 2 days. Good service. I will let everyone know when I get them on. It may take a while since it is my way to work every day.

Hey guys,
I got the tires on on Saturday. Got about 50 miles on them. I got squirrelly out of the parking lot in the first 50 feet. Most likely the tire preserve. The next day I took an on ramp 10 mph faster than my old tires and got within 3/4 of an inch from the edge. I have never had that much lean and so little drama. I hadnt even scrubbed the preserve lube crap off it yet. It felt like it wanted more. I haven't leaned the bike over like that in over a year and I have to say it felt much more natural on these tires. For comparison I had Michelin Pilot Sports on before with 5000 miles on them. I only changed them because I was getting some major cracks(dry rot) inside the tread and got kinda scared. Had plenty of tread left but I didnt want to push it. These tires look awesome. The road seems a little more choppy now but I believe I am just getting more feedback than I was getting with the old tires. These tires require more air pressure so they have a little rougher ride to get max tire results.

I will try and add more when I have a few more miles on them.

Here is a pic for everyone of the rear tire on the bike. I also just bought some LED's to get rid of the rear turn signals. I will post those in a another thread when I get it done. I am gonna wire up those Licence Plate LED's to be turn signals. I bought 2 sets(4 total) and am going to have 2 on each side flashing as turn signals. I am going to work the night shift starting tomorrow so I need to stay up all night to reset my sleep habits. I might as well have a project to keep me up. I will let everyone know how it goes.

These are the best tires I have had on a bike.

I think that I have found my tire!!!!
