Continental Contipro-Contact tires up front - what mileage is everyone getting?
HI
I have a 2014 RTS-SE6 and I am running the Continental Contiprocontact's size: 165/60 R15 on the fronts.
I replaced the front OEM's in 2016, at that time I had 12,807 miles on the front. I now have 30, 212 total mileage on the spyder.
On the front tires I have 17,405 miles on the Continental Contiprocontact's.
Was wondering what everyone else who is running the Continental Contiprocontact's on the fronts are getting for mileage on the tires before they replace them?

I'd be interested to know also ..... at tire rack it's TREADWEAR is ..... FAIR ( 6 out of 10 ) it's overall rating isn't much better either ..... and at $124.42 it's not a bargain .... Mike

IdahoSpyder:
When it comes time to change the front tires, would you stay with the Continental Contiprocontact's?

IdahoMtnSpyder,
Do you like how the Continental's handle in the rain?

I have the continentals on the front of my F3S. Been in the mountains. All day hard rains and just about every condition. Have performed flawlessly. One has 1/8 ounce and one did not need any weights. Smooth as glass.

I will say yes. As far as I recall they have never broken traction on wet roads. Can't say the same for the Michelin and General tires I had on the rear.
Even the Cooper tire I have now has spun out on wet pavement on occasion.

IdahoSpyder,
I haven't had any problems with the Continental's during rain storms, they handle well in the rain.
I still have some decent tread left on both tires.
