Anyone in here like me, running Conti Tyres ?
If so, you may be in for a pleasant suprise. I do remember some discussion on the forum about Conti's splitting some time back.

I'm running the Road Attack 2. I just purchased a new rear but the recall only seems to effect the fronts which are 120/70/17.
My front tyre was imported from the US so may escape the recall. I'll have a look at the numbers in the daylight.
Brian you need your front tyre replced 5011
(ContiSportAttack 2 CP8B B5M4 4811 to 2614)
no benefit though, your tyre still looks like new from lack of use

What are the defects?
In some tyres the tread and/or belt may separate, possibly resulting in loss of air pressure.
What are the hazards?
If the defect occurs, this may affect steering control, posing a potential crash hazard to the rider. :'(

I had near new set of Conti sport attack 2 fitted. :o
And back in May, had the front split and deflated with rather disastrous results :-[
Wish BrianW would have bought this to my attention earlier. ???
Sir Rob think you may need to fit this to any new ride.

Why?
HE DOESN'T OWN A MOTORCYCLE ANYMORE
Just checked mine and I'm clean. Probably because I self imported them from the US.

My bike is over at Paul's at present. He decided to check my tyre pressures, am running Conti Sport
Rear was 34, about what i run
Front, 18 psi, proves a point........... hmmmmmmmmm
For those with a front tyre falling within the recall have you been in contact with your tyre supplier? My tyre is within the recall but I have been advised there not replacing it with another Sport Attack 2 but instead a Road Attack 2 Evo!
