Title: Continental Tires
Post by Dan Stafford on 07/28/21 at 20:03:20

Good evening all, sitting in the parking lot of my hotel in Chattanooga. Dreaming about purchasing motorcycle parts namely tires LOL. I have Dunlops on right now but the bike and sat for too long in the hole there but they’re dry rotted. Any word on continentals? I know in the vehicle world they’re kind of Walmarty if you know what I mean. However I’m clueless when it comes to motorcycle tires…

The place you posted this question was pretty obscure, and likely nobody was going to see it there......so I moved it to a place where folks will see it.

My current favorite tires on my sport touring bikes are Continental Road 3 tires. They steer incredibly well and the ride is much nicer than what I have experienced with Michelin tires on them....especially as they wear.

Continental tires have been around a long time, and I don't believe they are cheaply made.....although they may have some lower cost tires models.

If you only ride a couple thousand miles a year......consider using Shinko tires. They are affordable and ride nicely and about the time they are 5 years old you will have about 10,000 miles on them and the tread will be done, and you can replace them.

If you ride 10,000 miles a year - the Michelin Commander is probably the best tire as it could last you 2 years.
