Now that you have had a chance to try these ones, what do you think of them. Do they handle well in the twisties and what about the mileage? I have 6000 thousand on the OEM's so far and they are close to the wear bar...They handle the tar snakes very well, but am not pleased with the wear...
I liked the Conti Road Attacks a lot and had planned to buy another set as they have been the best set I'd used to date.
When I called to order another set of Road Attacks, I was discouraged from buying another set by the tire guys (as they're apparently not rated for the ST1300), therefore manufacturer liability/warranty would not apply in the event of a failure. The tire guys instead gave me a good deal on a set of PR2's that I also had my eye on.
So far, at ~4.2kmi the PR2s are doing well for wear and wet grip, but I don't like their annoying buzz.
My front Road Attack went over 10kmi before I pulled it a month ago. The rear Road Attack was pulled off earlier this spring at ~6kmi so that I could use up a half-used ME880 tire during a long straight ride. My rear Road Attack is flat spotted in the center as I had used it over the winter in a lot of straight rides, and it is on the shelf as my emergency spare rear tire.
I liked the grip and feel of the Road Attacks, and they were quiet (not noisy/buzzy). When new, their twisties grip and bike handling was great.
At the end of life (front Road Attack, rear ME880), I honestly didn't push them hard in twisties as the pair were real twitchy over tar snakes.
Would I buy another set of Road Attacks? Yes, absolutely. But at the moment, I'm going to get further into the life of the PR2's before ordering my next set (whether Road Attacks or PR2's).
