Report on the Conti Road Attack 2 CR tires

[Ulvetanna_imp]

These were the OEM tires on my F800GT. They were squared off and cupped within 4000 miles.

Not bad at all. Sounds just about right. I want to make sure I did say, this was the Classic Race version of the Road Attack. Conti calls it a production/vintage racing tire. Largest front available is a 110/80-18, the largest rear is a 150/65-18. Not available in larger modern sizes.

Hmmmm... did not notice they were classic road race. I love the regulars on my Buell though. Did you notice a significant improvement in handling on the CB1100? I can't remember what was on my Buell before I added them, but I was shocked at the improvement.

These tires have grip at the level of a track day tire like the Dunlop Q3, of which I have gone through many sets, on track and road.

The profile is also really ideal for neutral cornering, on/off the brakes. I found I could run the tires at max recommended pressure (36/42) and still get all the grip I could stand.

On the new tires I expect to get quite a bit more wear before the flat-spotting on the rear and very slight cupping I've noticed on the front by keeping them at the higher pressures. Rode in the rain at those pressures and still felt the grip was good.

The rubber and carcass are different on the RA2 CR, but they're only available in the vintage sizes. You'd go with the Sport Attack for modern wheels.
