Has anyone run the Continental Conti-Motion sport touring tires yet? They're about 60% of the cost of the Michelin PR3 and about 65% of the cost of the Perelli Angels. Something to think about, especially if you're concerned with $/mile in tire cost.
After looking at their website, I now believe that my buddy's Beemer has the Conti-Attack rather than the Conti-Motion.I got rid of the 'stones at 3800 because the front was toast. I think I could have gotten about 5 outta the rear. I got about 5 outta an Angel, and my current tire (PR3) I get close to 9 outta the front and 7 outta the rear.
Denver, how many miles did you get out of the OEM, just for comparison?
I ran 2 sets of the Conti Motions on my C14 and the front tires wear great -- they last about 6000 miles and no cupping or irregular wear. BUT, the rear tire is another story -- the Conti Motion rear tire barely made it to 4000 miles before the cord was showing. I found them to handle about on par with the OEM Bridgestones without the front cupping issue. Sticky enough for aggressive riding. If a person wanted to save money then buy the Conti front tire and the OEM back tire and you would be set -- provided you could mentally tolerate riding on mismatched tires.I rode on a Angel rear and PR3 front and didn't notice any change in performance. Then I changed to PR3 front and back and that's the way I'm keeping it.
Any motorcycle tire will be better than a car tire!!!!

I will give a try to the Continental Conti Motion, ordered them from Amazon for a good price, front $77.95 and rear $99.56 and free shipping, I'm removing right now the rear Micheline Pilot Road 2 that last for 13475 miles, all my riding here in South Florida is highway, that is why the wear pattern of the Pilot road 2 that you see in the picture let see how many this Continental will last with my daily highway riding, also will post a picture of the continental
