Review: The truth about Conti Motions.... - Tired of spending big money on tires that last 6000 miles? Then take a close look at the Conti Motion tire. Although the tread life of these tires is pretty much average, the price certainly is not. The cost of a tire often will reflect on it's quality and design, but not always. The Conti Motion is a premium tire at a budget price. I have had several sets, and the rears were made in Germany and the fronts in Malaysia. I see no difference in the quality. Both versions only required 1/4-1/2oz. to balance them. On the road, these tires felt better than the Metzler Interac8's they replaced. Slightly lighter steering (not twitchy), but much better feedback at higher lean angles. And seat of the pants, feel better in the wet. Something I have noticed with Z rated tires......they feel much lighter weight wise than H or V rated tires. I think this is to reduce heat at higher speeds. Consequently, they have less rubber depth on the actual carcass. They will rapidly wear through to the steel belts after the wear bars are reached. So don't plan a long ride if the tire is approaching the wear bars. Although this is not a gumball tire designed for track days, it feels very secure at peg scraping lean angles. Hope this review helps with your tire buying decisions. FWIW. I have 50 years riding experience and come from a sport bike background. Ride safe.
Review: Super sticky and great response - great price, great response have only had it for a month or so but I ride daily mostly for pleasure! I installed it my self on the front of my 2005 Kawasaki ZX-12R and so far so good! I've got just under 700000 miles on my bike and I've been through A LOT of tires! I replaced a Pirelli Diablo that was separating( because I hit a large rock on the highway that fell out of trailer in front of me ,which also bent my front wheel) So, that being said I'm very happy with the tire so far,(and my new front rim), ill keep you posted on mileage! Be safe out there!!
