yes they're a few quid cheaper than Diablo Stradas, but: the feedback is not as good, the wet weather feel is NOWHERE near as good, and the longevity is worse. (which I find very annoying as they're meant to last longer due to deeper tread).

Road Attacks are (for me) comparable to Diablo Stradas in the dry, but not as good in the wet. Since I ride in all weathers I have decided to stick to Stradas for a bit longer.


Not sure if this was before, or during my running a pair of Road Attacks on my Rockster.

Suffice to say, I've now had 2 sets in the past 3 years and I'm going to stick to Diablo Stradas from now on!! ;)

Just thought I'd mention again about the very poor squaring off on the rear fitment.
I just ditched one of these with about 4mm of tread still showing.
The handling was so bad that I couldn't handle it anymore!
Reminds me of the old Conti TK17 (crossply for mileage with extra deep tread)......most horrendous in the wet :shock:
