Continental Road Attack 3
110/80-18




160/60-18
Not mounted yet




The tread pattern on these tires look great. No center rib (I just don't like 'em), and they seem to be "more sporty" than the OEMs. I like to be a little different and wanted to try a different tire that not a lot of others seem to be using. I've had great use out of every Continental tire I've had.

Only the front is mounted so far, but it has restored my handling and reduced the noise compared to the old V-shaped tire. Will update further with thoughts on performance, and clearance pics on the rear later.

One thing I gotta rant about, it is a huge pain to find performance oriented 18" tires for this bike (For example Michelin Pilot Powers). I've been looking for a few months for replacements that I would actually want to spend money on. I wish Continental would make a 140 or 150 width for better compatibility with our machines. In the future, if there aren't any good options in 18", I will seriously consider getting some 17" aftermarket wheels.
