ive just returned from a 3k trip around norway using the conti's, 150 section rear.
i had to change the rear at kristiansnds on way home as don
wn to 1mm with 400 miles to go. this was at 2550miles from new. bike fully loaded running @ 35psi front and back.
couldnt get another conti in kristiansands to opted for a mt21 in 140 section as the best ktm dealer had. rode through denmark at a steady 75mph with no probs but when leaving harwich for the blast north and home bike developed a vibration at 80mph up th A12. found i had ripped the knobbles off the mt21- peice of crap..
around uk use conti's all the time for road and greenlaning @ 25psi. i get 4500 miles out a front and 1800miles out the rear and im not easy on the gas , with no tyre creap. just take it easy powering out of corners and roundabout as the bike may want to swap ends
good lean angles for a semi knobbly too
