Continental Road Attack 3 Tyres

[PaulS1000XR]

Fitted these to my XR - great tyre - even better than my Metzeler RT 01 I had before - highly recommended sports touring tyre. Also as no release agent used in manufacture no need to scrub in. £295 fully fitted in UK

Paul, wondering how you are getting on with the RA3’s? Am getting a pair fitted on my bike I am picking up next week. Had  them on my RS and thought they were brilliant.

[PaulS1000XR]

tyres are great, best tyres I have ever had and wear very well too - previous tyres were Metz RT 01. Fully recommend and will buy the RA3's again next time

I have heard that they are grippier than the Sport Attack 3’s. Is that possible?

I’ve just ordered some roastec 01s....... they not the best around at the moment? Sport touring?

Couldn't comment on a comparison to the RA 3's... but can confirm that the Sport Attack 3 are a fantastic set of hoops...
Didn't feel comfy with the OEM Battlax on the track but no problem wearing down the sliders now

The RA3 are the only tires I use now. I run the piss out of them and still get 6000 miles per set. They turn in and handle great with heaps of traction.

The bike I have bought had 1700 miles on the clock with PR4’s on them so first thing I did was tell the dealer to whip them off and put something decent on!

Nothing really ‘wrong’ with PR4s - so perhaps you merely wanted to establish ‘cred’ with the dealer?   

My local small bike workshop-owner tells the taile.......

“I always telll guys to take it easy on the new tyres until they are scrubbed in.”

“They’ll be scrubbed in , by the time I get to the end of the carpark”. (Says Billy Big Balls)

“Hang on - I’ll just go and get my dustpan and brush”

[Penpals]

Not sure it was possible to establish 'cred' with the dealer as was trading in an RS!
