    Hello art
    I don't want to contradict you because I can't share these or your experiences with the tires.

    In that case, some people like me may be dependent on so-called ratings, which should come from motorcyclists in this case. That's why your experience is all the more important

    In any case, I think it's good that the tire isn't as bad as rated, I believe you.

    Viewed differently, I see the following egg properties as a priority for me in a tire

    1.Dry adhesion
    2.Wet grip
    3.Handling

    I can neglect self-damping because I have an adjustable chassis

    My experience is based on 10 years of motorcycling,
    I wasn't really concerned with tires until a while ago, an important topic that needs to be looked at more closely.

    Evaluations and personal experiences are certainly far apart in some things.

    thanks Art.

    hier meine Gedanken zu dem Conti Road Attack 4 GT
    Here are my thoughts on why I would like to have the Conti Road attack 4 in the GT version on it

    Our motorcycle is a long-distance vehicle and relatively heavy
    fully fueled 258 kilos in the DCT version.
    With luggage and a passenger, considering the permissible total weight, one can certainly speak of a heavy motorcycle. The tires mentioned are designed for heavy motorcycles in the GT version with the good properties still available, a favorite.

    Hiya Folks

    Tyre posts are a little like oil posts.....lots of varied opinions.
    It's simple now.....its very hard to buy a poor tyre, they are all very good.
    It's more about suitability of your needs.
    Ask your self a few questions.:
    On road or off?
    Dry or wet roads?
    Expected mileage?

    I would suggest that if you do 3k Mile's per year on mainly summer dry roads, your choice is easy?  Go pick any tyre any brand it will probably exceed your needs.

    If you are a winter commuter, with lots a wet mileage,  you'll need a Road 6 or Roadtech 01. These tyres are especially good in wet weather.

    The more experienced and committed mileage muncher you are, you'll have already formed an opinion to suit your needs.

    Which is why i went for the road 6s, i ride all year round come rain, snow or sunshine, so wet performance is absolutely at the top of my shopping list.

    The OEM tyres were never great in the wet, in my eyes, always felt nervous when going round bends in the wet, which is why i said the new tyres have transformed the bike.

    Sounds more as if the new tyres have transformed you, but if that's what it takes just don't get over confident.

    Hello

    My Dunlop are going to be replace in a near future. I am thinking on the Battlax T32 GT or the Michelin Pilot Road 6 GT… in September I am going to make a travel of 11000 km, fully load 2 on the bike… what are your opinion? Thanks

    I believe the Michelin tyres are highly rated so I would potentially try those next. I will be looking to try a pair after my latest set of Metzelers are ready to be replaced (which will be quite soon as should be at 16000 miles on the bike in the summer after only 18 months riding)

    Mine has the Dunlops on and I do not find them totally confidence inspiring. A friend has the Bridgestones on his NT1100 and finds them really good. I will probalby change to them next time...

    My NT came with Dunlops. Had no issues with them so far. Not something I would normally buy as I normally use Bridgestones. See how they do as the tread wears down.

    Hi recently picked up a new to me 2023 NT. 4 months old 1100miles.Fitted with Dunlop Gpr300 tyres.
    Got a great feel to them but...I have noticed the front has cracks formed inside the tread all around the tyre. Rear looks fine. Would not expect this on tyres of the age and milage.Anyone else noticed this on their tyres.TT.

    hi put a photo in, I would be interested to see what the cracks look like, I can't imagine that on a new bike, the Dunlops aren't bad tires.
