Darren Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Has anyone fitted these tires to an R1100RT, I have Bridgestone BT020 on at the moment Thanks Darren Link to comment
Albert Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi Darren, I think if you do a search you'll find one of your countrymen (Boffin) has fitted the Conti's and is quite happy with them. If he doesn't weigh in here do a search and you'll find his comments. Link to comment

If he doesn't weigh in here do a search and you'll find his comments. More than one of us - I have them on my R1150RT, & I was partly persuaded by "Boffins" postive report. I find them very comfortable, with apparently good grip wet & dry (who wants to find out too much on the highway ?) & at UK prices they are little more than half the cost of Bridgestones or Metzelers Link to comment
Boffin Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Has anyone fitted these tires to an R1100RT, I have Bridgestone BT020 on at the moment Thanks Darren Hi Darren, welcome to the board As Al and Martyn have said, I have the Contis in my R1150RT and I love them. I have got about 6K miles out of them vs 7K miles on BT020s. Given the price differential they are great value. I have found the turn in and ride to be excellent, with confidence inspiring grip wet and dry. I managed to touch down a peg in the wet on a hairpin bend without drama. I am going to get my second set fitted soon at Mitcheldever Tyres, based at Mitcheldever Station near the Junction of the A34 and A303. For R1150RT sizes I have been quoted £180 fitted to the bike. If you fit your own, you can get them from about £150 delivered. One important note: the Telelever forked bikes need the 'C' construction front. Cya, Andy Link to comment
