Author Message   4_pete_sake Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 08:23 am:        With the Dunlop 616 gone.... And I'm not a huge Pirrelli fan.... Anyone tried the Conti Trail Attack 2's yet????   Tankhead Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 08:27 am:        No, but I really need a new tire and have been wondering which tire would be the best match for my relatively young Shinko Raven rear, Trail Attack or Scorpion trail anyone??? Bueller, Bueller? anyone? tanks   4_pete_sake Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 08:31 am:        Or the Metzeler Tourance NEXT tires???   4_pete_sake Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 08:35 am:        Was in a local shop yesterday and bike salesman said he barely got 3000 m out of his Scorpion Trails on his Duc, but he qualified with, " I ride really hard on the brakes and the gas"..... "Lucky to still have a license most days" he also said   Hughlysses Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 08:43 am:        I found a link to an excellent comparison test of practically every ADV bike tire available (from a UK bike magazine IIRC) a few years back; here's a link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=pt_PT&h l=pt_PT&key=0AlnwXcsYa4QXdENrSTgwOEJfVGQ3Q1ctTHpBb 0k4V3c&output=html I'm sure some of the info is out of date, but it's the best comparison of these tires I've seen.   Tankhead Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 08:47 am:        tanks Hugh!   Hughlysses Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 09:12 am:        You're welcome. The TA seems to come out on top in that test on most categories.   Callawegian Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 06:10 pm:        Thanks for the info. In a previous post someone had a link to an ebay ad for the Conti Trail Attacks. I have already purchased them and they are on the way.   Tankhead Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2014 - 10:11 pm:        I placed an order through Dennis Kirk. Front tire only. I will post up when it comes and mounted. My shinko raven front has 11,000 miles on it but it is really starting to handle poorly. Always gave me a feeling of less stability then I was comfortable with. Great mileage poor handling. Can't wait to get the Conti Trail attack front   4_pete_sake Posted on Sunday, March 16, 2014 - 09:37 am:        Tank- You still running the Raven in the REAR??? I think i'm leaning towards putting the Conti's on the Uly and Michelin PR3 on TT..... Expensive year for tires for me I'll either order local or Revzilla.... Those guys have great customer service and the video reviews are super helpful and informative .... Oh and price is close enough....   Whisperstealth Posted on Sunday, March 16, 2014 - 03:47 pm:        I hope the trail attack is better the conti motion! So bad the motions have been the worst tire I've put on the bike.   Mhevezi Posted on Monday, March 17, 2014 - 01:36 am:        My ContiMotions lasted almost 10k each, but I got a slight headshake with those. Now that I swapped over to Pirelli Scorpion Trails, the bike is more stable with better grip in the corners. We will see how long they last. Oh, and ZERO headshake now.   Teeps Posted on Monday, March 17, 2014 - 12:12 pm:        Whisperstealth Posted on Sunday, March 16, 2014 - So bad the motions have been the worst tire I've put on the bike. Same here less than 3400 miles for me. Same roads, conditions, riding style... etc.
