poppop Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Has any one tried the Conti Road Attack 3 tires on your FJ? I've heard they are great in dry and wet conditions and warm up quickly. Not thrilled with the stock Dunlops. They only have 2500 miles on them but seriously considering changing soon. Would appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Guest Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Think Michelin Road 5 and never look back. Best set owned ever and proven themselves from Florida to Alaska at frequent higher than allowable speeds and frequent deluges. 8100 miles, no punctures. Likely a little more pricey.

Supporting Member betoney Posted June 29, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted June 29, 2018 Not thrilled with the stock Dunlops. They only have 2500 miles on them but seriously considering changing soon. I picked up a nail in my stock Dunlop's at 4,000 miles and wasn't upset at all by changing them before they were worn out. They weren't terrible but not great by any means. I have read very positive reviews on the Road Attack 3's but have never tried them myself. Honestly, almost any premium tire will be an upgrade from the stock tires, I have used sport as well as sport-touring tires with great results. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup the road 5s are incredible. I bailed on the stock dunlops at 2900 miles with a bit of meat on them and no regrets.

Premium Member upshift Posted June 30, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 30, 2018 +1 for the PR5s. Best tires I've ever had on a bike, and I'm coming off a set of the Pirelli Angel GTs, which were pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfjniner Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Don't overlook the Michelin Pilot Roads. Get the PR2's and save money. The 2's are equal to the 3's but without added sipping. As good as any tire on the market. Personal preference based on over 400K of ST tire use. But then I'm old. Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

Likely a little more pricey.I've got to say, M.roads are the tyre that changed the bike. The 4's were a revelation on mine, so impressed (unusual) they're now on my sports bike as well. The handling went up a notch, more grip and more feel in wet and dry. Mileage is so good for a grippy type. The dunlops felt wooden in comparison. The 5's are supposed to be a bit better. I went with 4's as there were some deals to be had due to the 5's coming out, just watch the date stamps if you go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhs10 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I currently have a set of Road Attack 3 Evos on my FJ... much more grip than the stock tires. Warm up is almost non existent they seem to stick almost immediately. A little more stiff than I thought they would be. Have a set of PR5s in the garage that I will be installing shortly. I have about 8500 miles on the Contis. Good bit of tread left, but kind squared off on the rear and a decent amount of cupping on the front. Overall a good tire, just wanted to give the PR5s a shot due to all the good reviews and I found them on sale. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

Michelins on sale? wha..? Where are these on sale? I have never seen the Road 5's for less than about $350 a set. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also possible that I'm mistaken. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
