No Surprises
Like everyone else, I picked these up because they were cheap. They are smooth, soft and quiet. The rear tire is very neutral and predictable with surprisingly good traction wet or dry. Stay away from wet paint stripes and you should be happy.

They surprised me!
I got a set of these for one reason and one reason only, they were a cheap Sport Touring tire. First: My Ride AND Riding Style I ride a 2004 Triumph Daytona 600. I'm a Average experience, NON-Aggressive rider from Michigan. We have a lot of flat straight highways here. I'm not an Isle of Mann speed freak but I enjoy any twisties I can find at a fun speed. That being said, I was skeptical of these tires as first. I went slower than normal to feel them out and, much to my surprise, they ended up inspiring more confidence than my previous two sets. The OEM tires were Pirelli Diablos, more of a Super Sport than a Sport Touring and I had Dunlop Roadsmart 2's on it after the Diablos. I honestly believe the conti-Motions were better than either of the first two sets. I only got about 5k miles out of the OEMs (Diablos) and about 8k each on the Roadsmarts (One front and Two Rears). One set of these Conti-Motions got me close to 9,000 and felt a lot better than the Dunlops in the corners and with a second rider. This will most likely be my last set on the Daytona, planning to upgrade to a Speed Triple after this riding season. But to ANYONE looking for a tire that is cheap in price and NOT cheap in construction, I would recommend this for sure.
