I ran the Road Attacks before I decided to try the Z6's. I got about 20,000 kms out of the Conti's and was very pleased with their handling in dry or wet. I would run them at a little higher tire pressure. I ran mine at 36/41. I weigh 215lbs. Excellent tire all around. You won't be dissapointed, beleive me. Here's a review http://canyonchasers.net/reviews/tires/road-attack.php

I`ve always heard that the recommended tire size for a pre is 150/70/17.Can this brand tire be used safely on a 3.5 rim?

most 160/60 tires arnt safe for a pre kat... but the conti's are an exception. there are several members here with pre's and 160's

they are safe. Believe me I would NEVER put another riders life in danger by saying some BS. PM The Cyberpoet, hell tell you exactly what i just said.

You know that's strange, when I bought my Ninja the PO had a Conti Road Attack 190 on the rear 5.5" rim. Seems like a trend that Conti fits one size up...mind you it looked and handled like **** but

Thanks for the info. I know this is not my thread but I`m currently running Metzeler Lasertec(On Kat when purchased) and it`s time for sum new rubber.What size front tire should I go with if I purchase the Conti 160/60/17?

The front should always stay the same 120/70/17 front and 160/60/17 rear.

the middle number just reflects a ratio of the width as profile. The 160 is a bit wider (not much) and the sidewalls are lower profile than the 150. Looks kick arse and handles better IMHO although people will say it doesnt because its wider.

I have the sports, a bit softer material than the road attacks. They last like metz but handle like pilot powers. A great all around tire.

If you just do highway cruising the roads would be better (although you wont see too much of an increase in mile wear, sports tend to go 15,000-20,000 miles easily

Id say, for $5 and about 500-1000 miles less the sports are worth it. I have NEVER EVER EVER NOT ONCE had my rear slip on on me. It really is black chili. They heat up fast but last. Ive had them for tons of miles and i can still see the little CONTIattack logo on the tread.

I run them as well, and cant say enough good about them. I actually tried to get the rear to slip out on a wet road, and it wouldnt. Maybe I didnt try hard enough, but I have total confidence in them, nontheless!!!!

I just installed a pair of conti force and I really like the tires so I know the road attack would be a great tire on your bike

Thanks again I`ll be ordering me a set of Conti`s unless someone see this post and recommend Z6`s lol.
