#1 | Conti Road Attack 4 tire datum

Conti has a new sport touring tire called the Road Attack 4. Here is a link to an article regarding Conti's new and improved (and likely more expensive) "hyper-touring" tire: https://www.motorcycle.com/features/cont...first-look.html

Considering the accolades from certain English fellows, I'm tempted by a set of Avon Spirits at $300. But, there's a number of knowledgeable fans of the Dunlop RS4's at $370 per set. I doubt I'll do another set of Michelin RS5's at $430 per set.

The Dunlop RS3s I bought earlier this year was $229 plus tax a pair. $169 after the rebate.

Even some English ( frequent traveller to Wales) like the Avon Storm 3D, can�t fault them so an � upgrade� would not be beneficial.

Meanwhile, Michelin, not to be outdone, has published a full-page motorcycle tire ad in the latest issue of the BMWMOA Owners News magazine that claimed that their latest "new generation" sport touring tire would be announced on January 1. What do you know, even print magazine ads can have "teasers". I wonder if it will also have a "new generation" price, too.

You can count on it!
I've noticed that prices on the Road 5's have gone up $30-50+ a pair in the last 6 months.

I would prefer "new generation" front tire tread life...............
