Comment:
Outstanding. I loved the Road Attacks so had to try these. Did a recent trip to Spain and back in all sorts of weather, and got over 5,000 miles out of the rear, despite a huge high speed blast back home - which did prematurely do in the rear (understandable). Much more comfort (sidewall redesign for this tyre definitely works) and better traction and grip than the OEM Bridgestones they replaced. The front looks like it will see of at least one more rear with ease. Yes I bought another Motion for the rear. My pal had a close call on his bike with Motions on, in torrential rain, a car pulled out to overtake right in front of him. He slammed on the anchors, and managed to avoid the car, all with no drama other than a near heart attack - he's a committed Conti Motion convert now too. I wish they did a size to fit the front of my other bike, or they'd be on that as well. I guestimated the likely grip in the snow after positive experience with other Continental tyres, but haven't been though any yet. I ride all the year round, so will find out at some point.
