Default Anyone running/have experiance w/ the Conti Road Attack tires

New Continental Conti Road Attack.
The ContiRoad Attack – Sports Touring tire:


I'm about to purchase a set of tires for my zx7r and while I was doing some research...I came across these.
http://www.conti-tyres.co.uk/contibi...oad-attack.php

Does anyone here have any first hand experiance with these tires?
Care to give your opinions?

The MSRP is very good compaired to many other brands out there that give less performance for more price.

Plus they just look SICK IMO

Looks like a descent tire... generally you get what you pay for, and if you buy a budget tire, you get budget performance.

Hey, i've got that tire but not on the back. when it was first installed, really felt like it "rolled" over when going into a lean. now i am more used to it and it feels just like any other tire i've ridden on. I dont do any super agressive riding, and for me since i ride my bike every day, it will last alot longer for me rather than a high performance tire.

So what tire can I Purchase that will keep me from having that "Rolled Over" feeling when turning?
I want a soild feel in turns...Not a mushy sidewall feel.
