Tire Information

[Grumpy Goat]

About wearing in the center of the tire: my ride to the Arkansas meet was 1300 or 1400 miles each way. The accident limited my riding at the event, but that would have been 300 or 400 miles in twists at best. So in my mind, most of the riding is pretty straight up, regardless of the trip I'm on. Next June to Georgia will be pretty similar. Then I'm still wanting to get up to the Alberta, and BC area again, which is a lot of slabbing just to get to the area.

The GA Ride In will be a long one for you coming from California and you will definitely know the longevity of the centre portion of the tire. But it would be good for you to ride with us this time while there.

On a slightly different but related note - Anyone try Continental ContiRoadAttack 3 Sport Touring tires?

They are not a multi compound tire but uses different curing temperatures and pressures across the tire profile to achieve similar centre hardening. They supposedly have great road feel and handling characteristics and had favourable reviews in 2017 in the Motorrad magazine in Germany.

Here is a review by an MOA member on an RS, no less.

They seem to be available for a decent price also.
