Tires?

[JetdocX]

Well, it's a done deal.  Cos sold me his Conti Trail Attacks for cost.  Thanks brudda Cos!

Yanked the wheels off a couple days ago and took them to the shop for mounting.  $5 per wheel?  How does that even work? :?

I plan to take them up the Dog Valley road as soon as I get them back to scrub them in and check the dirt-worthiness.

Post to follow..............

What's up with the Trail Attacks?

Well....maybe it's just me but these things feel really squirrelly when traveling in a straight line.  I can feel the bars wagging a bit and it gets more pronounced under hard braking.  It was a bit scary at first :shock: , but I'm not dead yet, so it must be normal tread action on the flat road.

In the turns?  Another story entirely.  These tires are the shnizit on the twisties, but they do like to lean waaaay over which also scared me a little bit at first. :shock:

I rode up the hill and took them into the dirt roads up behind Reno for a short ride up hill and downhill.  The grip seems OK even coming down the steep clutch pulled in descent, I never boke loose.  I need more dirt and some flat dirty roads for a real dirty comparison.  I'd like to spend a whole day aired down on dirt roads for a real comparison, but so far the tires appear to be on par with the Anakees.

And I'm not done with the paved road comparo yet.

It's going to snow this week, so it might be late spring before I finish this one....

So far?  Three out of five on the boner scale.

Hmm.  Pretty interesting.  The squirrely-ness during straight and level riding reminds me of my Tourance EXP.

Thanks for the update.

Keep in mind, I probably have less than 1000 miles on them and have yet to properly scrub them in. :oops:
