Tyres Related Issue (tyre wear.. etc)

[James996]

Tires are the only contact your machine have with the roads...please dun compromise safety and worry so much about the pocket hole.Check the manufacturing date of the tires,the freshest the better.It will give you a mind of peace for riding.

Ride hard,ride safe.

Currently , I'm using Michellin Pilot Road2.

Almost 1.5years , sign of 'cupping' appears on the front tires.

I assume this is due to frequent long straight roads and tires pressure not maintain as required.

 

Looking at Conti Road Attack . One shop offering @ $375 / pair .

For Michellin Pilot Road2 , @ $420 / pair .

Any one using this Conti tires ? Any advice most appreciate ...

I had used the Conti Road Attack before on my TDM.

Decent grip for the price. (Abt $300 due the it's 120/70-17,160/60-17 and it's abt almost 2 years stock at the shop)

 

Remember to check out the manufacturing date of the tires.Try not to take too old stock.

i go for RP2 any time

they dun stock up and its usually sold fast

my old RP2 lasted about 40k awesome tires

[loufu]

my tire now got 1 nail stuck there... but no leak or anything...

 

 

to remove or not to remove?

 

[James996]

Remove! If nt,it will slowly leak as your tire wear.

[sino74]

Just saw them at Unique going at $420 roughly around the price of Michelins.....and I like the grooves on it....looks really meant for wet weather....but looks can be deceiving....

[none]

Time to change tires again.

Any recommendations?

No Z6, BT23, Continental Sport attack for me.

Using Diablo Strada, is this tyre still available?

I just changed to Z6 Interact. Any issue with the tyres you can share? Even if it's too late, maybe I can watch out for potential shortcomings of the tyres. Thanks.
