Road attacks seem sweet at the moment feels great 120/70/17 front and 180/70/17 rear im glad you asked about them now ive looked at them ive noticed the front tyre is on backwards .. something to get done on the weekend ? or will it work if i take it of rotate it around and refitit ?
And to the question where im from , its Wales Uk plenty of long twist roads through the valleys (weather permitting) been up there once already and it got that foggy i couldnt see across the road..

Are you sure it's on backwards? Some front tyres may look like they're on backwards, but is'nt. Check the rotate direction shown by an arrow on the sidewall of the tyre. The rim also have an rotate direction arrow.

Check the rotational arrows on the discs too Dave - they're desigmed to rotate one way only.
You may have to refit the tyre.....[:@]

I will second that. Conti Road Attacks's are great. I'm on the standard sizes of 120/70 front and 170/60 rear.

Currently on 6000 miles and still plenty to go.

Will probably go to a 180/55 on the back next time - they are easier to find.
