Aight, when I picked up my Tuono, it was shod w/ Dunlop D208's that had 5k on em and were showing belts. Off to the tire store I go. I've been a huge Michelin fan since trying the Pilot Sports several years ago. The Pilot Powers simply made me smile bigger than the Sport's did so a Michelin Man I became. An obvious choice for tires would have been the Powers but.... NOT SO FAST!!!!!! I've been into the sport touring world the last few years and I have hauled some serious azz on ST bikes shod w/ touring tires. And they last ALOT longer. I've always wanted to try out the Conti Attack's because of good feed back by riders on all sorts of bikes and they look cool. Yes, I actually consider that when selecting a tire. LOL I dialed up the folks at www.powersportsuperstore.com (No affiliation other than happy customer) and ordered up a set of Road Attacks. Delivered today and installed today. Other than a big gouge on my front rim from the install all went well and was pretty uneventful other than the grunge on the chain. During my test ride all was going well when I got rained on. Badly. Consequently I learned they work very well in the wet. Will report impressions later if anyone is interested. And yes, they look KICK A$$ on the Tuono!!!:thumbup
