I have an 02 Kat and I am looking to spend somewhere between 250-300 for the set. So far the IRC sport road winner's have caught my eye along with the Continental contiforce's. Anyone have experience with either? The best price I have seen is from tireexpress.com for 220 for the set.

I have no experience with the Continentals, but I just put a set of Pirelli Angel ST's on my bike and they're awesome....I bought them off of motorcyclesuperstore.com and paid around 230$ shipped. -

With you living in KY... I might suggest a slightly more sporty version for the tires to handle the curves. Cointi road attacks are my personal choice, but I've heard good things about the Michelin CT2 tires on handling, and having very long lifes.

The Continental Road Attack tires are great, really stick to the road, reasonably priced online, and are pretty durable

Originally posted by cybrnathan View PostThe Continental Road Attack tires are great, really stick to the road, reasonably priced online, and are pretty durable My favorite tires ever! I have Pirelli Diablo's on mine now because they came with my current bike, but as soon as I wear these out, I'm going right back to the Road Attacks. Decently priced too, and you can usually find a local place that'll put them on for like $20/each.

Look like good tires, but saw a lot of people complaining about tread life. How are yours holding up?Originally posted by indianboy7 View PostComment

I ride on Metzlers. Dont remember off hand which model i have on there now. They are very soft and sticky. Tread life isnt really long, but i ride a lot in the Mountains. Lots of Twisties, have to have good traction. Mountain on one side and guard rail on the other. Ill take traction over tread life for now until i decide to experiment with other tires.Comment

I got a set of Conti motions from DK not to long ago for 135 shipped... My last set had 2 plugs in the rear and 1 up front (Dunlops, PO took bad care of the bike.)... i was real scared on those so i didnt ride(good idea) I recently put the motions on and got a lot of confidence now...Those were the first tires i bought and they are probably not the greatest but i like them just fine. Just throwin another option your way...

Metzler Z6 are awesome. I went from the stock Dunlops on my 750 (which were very good tires by the way) to the Metzlers. What a difference!Comment
