    Continental Tires

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I'll be ordering new tires soon and was wondering if anybody has tried a pair of Continental Attack/Force tires.

    Overall, the reviews I have found of them are good & Hey, they come in orange.

    Thanx, Mimitabby

    The only real question I have about them is how well they wear. In a couple of reviews I read there was some complaint about the back wearing out quicker. But I expect that is the case with most tires just more visible in the orange. Plus I bet that guy weighs a lot more than me.

    that's recklessness. His last fuji ended up under a truck that he decided to pass while the truck was turning left.

    That does tend to take a toll on your scoot.

    I have these. My husband got me some new wheels for my birthday last October and he kitted them out with these tyres.

    So far so good.

    Thnx, Trekhawk.

    Since I didn't put a trainer tire on my bike, the back tire is getting eaten. Figure buy the new tires, use the old for trainer. that gives me a spare trainer tire.

    The Contis came in today. They are so pretty it's hard to resist putting them on now. But I'm hoping I can wait til spring before I have to use either one. They could be a tad oranger, but they are still gonna look good. Ride good too as I'm going from 25s to a 22 and a 23.
