Tire Weights?

Darn, just had tires mounted wish I had seen this post sooner I would have weighed them for you.

Hmm, details I can give are:

Subject: 03 Triple
Tire Company: Conti
Model of Tire: Road Attacks (Went with a the 90 rear this time around have an 80 at a friends house so I can weigh that for you when I get a chance.
Amount to balance: Front (.5) Grams, rear none

So far impressions are way more grip than I was expecting from a Sport touring tire... I have also had the privilege of tossing a few emails back and forth with the North American Sales manager for Conti, who ironically owns a 06 speed trip and says he loves it, as a previous owner of quite a few other bikes it seems.
:fingure:

He tossed me a few nice articles about the tire, including some impressions from the test track in Germany, of riders there, one such document makes statements that the closed test track has bankings at 86degrees, comparing this to daytona and its 36degree banking.

Do you have any interest in mileage numbers or is that to much of a variable (temp/rider/conditions) to collect data on Dev?

I just ordered a set of Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's so will let you know when I get them.

I got them today (9 June 07) & took them to the post office to weigh on their scales:

PIRELLI DIABLO CORSA III 120/70ZR-17 FRONT - 9 lb 3 oz

PIRELLI DIABLO CORSA III 180/55ZR-17 REAR - 13 lb 3 oz

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I got a new rear (7 July 07) to put on whenever Michelin gets me a new front to replace the recalled one.

Michelin Pilot Power 2CT 180/55ZR-17 REAR - 12 lb 7 oz (12 oz lighter than the Pirelli)

Got this from a post by vizsladog on CycleForums...
