    It time for a new set of rubber. was all set on road attacks with all the great feed back thats been already posted in threads that i searched.
    conti force and road attack i think are the same tire just different name. there wasn't much mention about sport attack a much softer sticker tire rounder profile better traction just wondering if any one has any feed back like how much less mileage can i expect and are they good in the rain or am i just crazy and stick with the roads
    it would be great to get someones opinion thats tried both
    Thanks for any input

    How agressive of a rider are you, & if you are & like to tear up the tracks & canyons often, the sport attacks would be better for you, but if the occasional ripper, & commute on your bike a lot9or Sport-Tour), you just can't go wrong with the road attacks & will last much longer than the Sport attacks.

    There is better tyres out there than the Conti's, & in fact as a all around tyre I used the Conti Road attacks, but after the rave revues on the "ALL" weather very grippy, long lasting Dunlop RoadSmarts, I tried them & love 'em.

    All weather handling like the Conti road attacks, & grippyness of the Sport attacks, & last a whole lot longer than both.
    Worth it to ck them out :wink:

    I'm no knee dragger... yet still working on that... I'm not a ripper like some of you guys, probably will never see a track. but i do ride for the twisties only slab it to get to the good roads. don't commute on bike
    lately seem to riding in the rain more than i care to its either that or not ride. ill check out those road smarts for sure!

    I ran through two sets of the Road Attacks and was curious about the Diablo Stradas, so I am running those right now. I will vouch for the Road attacks. They are awesome! I curled rubber over the edges on some hot twisties and they stuck like a much softer tire. The 105 degree day might have had something to do with it too. The Force sport and black magics are track tires.

    I have been reading a lot about aggressive VFR riders running a sport attack in the front and road attack in the back. Just something else for you to think about!

    I will see how I like these Pirellis over the next year and I may return to the Contis.

    Well I haven't had the Sport Attacks, but I do have the Road Attacks on my VFR. They held up just fine for 5 20 minute sessions at Assen 2 weeks ago. If you want, I can put pick in my gallery so you can look at the tread wear. I didn't notice any slippage, and I was able to go progressivley faster with every session. Just my 2 cents worth...
