ContiSport Attack

Post by Caz »

After getting through two BT014 rears in the space of 2 weeks (not one puncture, but TWO :smt011 :smt013) I put a set of Continental ContiSport Attacks on my Gixxer.
I think they're great :smt003 I've only done about 1500 miles on them so far, but they still look like new and are wearing nicely. I think I'll be sticking another set of them on at this rate :smt004

Has anyone else tried them?

I have some on my zxr atm, I love the grip i get in the wet on em even from cold. but the rear starts to feel a little slippery on the edge when their warm and i get it cranked over, the front tyre feels absolutly well planted though. Definatly a decent tyre but i reckon my next set will be pirelli's if i keep the bike long enough to change tyres again.

I reckon if you ride your bike in all weathers their definatly superb tyres. i wouldnt mind trying the new michilin 2CT's though.

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Ive still had no problems with mine, even with the bike decked right over. My other half fitted them to his bike and he doesnt seem to get on with them as well.
Although his bike is about 50kgs heavier than the gixxer :-)

I got 4000 miles out of the rear on the gixxer and then changed it, although i could have gotten another 1000 - 1500 miles out of it. I didnt fit another set :-) fancied a change

erm.. they were OK, and good value for money (£170/pair fitted ride in price). But they didnt really give me the feedback that I wanted.
They certainly arent a bad tyre, and if you only do road riding then they do the job just fine. I started to notice the lack of feedback on very enthusiastic road rides and on the Nurburgring
if you want a good bang-for-the-buck tyre - then go for it :smt001
