Radial Tyre recommendations - 120 17 & 170 17

Bike Bandit have an even better deal on the Froggy PP's.... With AMA discount $250 shipped... thinking about giving that a go & hoping their 170 measure in less than 172... :D
 
I've tried just about every tire on the market on my Blackbird
except the Dunlop Roadsmart. I never thought I'd say this but,
the Conti Road Attack is the best Sport Touring tire I've used.
Handling is incredible and holds a line through a turn like its on rails.
Wet traction is is also excellent. As you can see, my last ride was in
the rain. As you can also see, I use pretty much all of the tire. ( I like
to get my moneys worth.) I've also had to replace a spring on the
mid pipe from scraping it on the road. BTW, there's pretty close to
5000 mi on this tire. I've never gotten this mileage from any other
tire.

I have heard many people say great things about the Road Attacks. I have Pilot Road IIs on my bike, and while they are also fantastic, they aren't much better than the Bridgestone BT-021's as far as ride quality. So there are 3 that you can't go wrong with. I just may try those Road Attacks next time. The tread pattern looks awesosme too.

Although I just found a guy that will mount my mail order tires for $20, 10 minutes and no appointment nessecary, so I may try some real sport tires like the 002's or Powers. With the prices from Derby I don't mind getting less mileage if I like the stickier tires better.
