I have the Road Attacks and actually, they feel taller to me. They seem less wide with a rounder profile. They turn in nicely, heat up very quickly, wear well, and are one of the best tires I've ever had.

Dano, looks like you got about an inch of rubber on each side your not using. Whats up with that? |

"Dano, looks like you got about an inch of rubber on each side your not using. Whats up with that?" Man, bustin' on my chicken strips! That pic was taken right after I put them on like FB said. Down to about 1/4 on one side and 1/8th on the other now. That's about as far as I'll push it on the street. Track days, that's another story. Still need to get this set on the track.

hey they changed the tread patern a little. my road attacks are over a year old and and 8,000 miles. still have a lot of life in them. they sure dont turn as well as they used to. I just remember them looking a bit shorter. well esp now that they are a little worn |

If the size rating on cycle tires are the same as on car tires, and I have no reason to believe there would be a difference, a 180/55ZR 17 (rear tire size for my XB12S) will be the same dia and profile regardless of the mfg |

The Conti Road attack rear is about the same height as a Z6, which was a bit higher than the stock D207. |
