still another tire question

[ZukiFred]

What do yall think of the Conti Force-Sport Radial 120/70/17 & 150/70/17 for my 2000 kat750?

I am running the Conti-Force on mine and I like them. I don't try to drag my pegs, but I have no complaints about them. They ride pretty smooth and grip good enough for how hard I ride. I have had them up over 100 a couple of times, and no problems.

I am running different sizes than what you listed, but that shouldn't make too much difference with brand questions.

Haven't tried 'em, so I have no comments one way or the other about the Conti's. Should be good in cool weather locations (places where the temps don't hover above 90 degrees most of the day).

Still think the Pirelli Diablo's and the Metzelers are the two best tires for the 98 - 05 Kats (600 & 750).

Heard some very satisfied riders overhere about the Conti's.

I have the continental contiforce radials in 160/60 and 120/60 and I love them. I ride really aggressive and drag the pegs often and these tires have never let me down. Warmup is quick and grip is as good as almost any tire ive had. Youll love them. Plus they are cheap....

The GT501 was tested ex-equo first place in a mass motortyretest by a professional rider, neutral steering, good grip in rain and dry, comfy and long lifetimeexpectancy were comments for this particular type of tyre.
Just one BIG disadvantage in my book (since I spoke to CP), they are bias ply not radial, so less safe and since I know this I'll stick to the radial types.

The GT501... one BIG disadvantage in my book (since I spoke to CP), they are bias ply not radial, so less safe and since I know this I'll stick to the radial types.

I do remember that tire cut you got during the high-speed turn in the Arden area... you would have never ridden out the turn if they had been bias-ply instead of radials... glad someone remembers
