Continental Conti Road Attack

These friggin' tires have been such a headache. When I got them, it was the crappy shop that I dealt with who will no longer get my business. No fault of the tire though.

Today when I rode to work, however, I noticed there is starting to be considerable feathering on both tires, and I'm seeing all kinds of cracks forming on the front.

These are 3 1/2 months old and have about 4,000 miles on them.

Is this a warranty issue? And if so, how do I deal with it?

Check your DOT numbers on the side, they may be old.

Tire age probably wouldn't affect the feathering. How's your tire pressure? Suspension acting funny? Is it wallowing through turns?

If those don't work out, you'll be in love with some Strada's. I've got almost 8k on the rear tire and still don't feel the need to replace it. I will before the W.VA Buell Rally though for safety. The front is barely worn.

I have never been able to get more than 3000 to 3500 from them. I get around 5000 from metz.
