    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Continental "GO" Tire 130/90/17

Hello Learned Fellows:

Did anyone try the following tire and how did you like it?

Continental "GO" Tire 130/90/17

Thanks

I have one at the moment. No complaints. It's doing as well or better than the Conti TKV12 it replaced after 7000 miles. I don't see any of the cupping on the thread like I used to. The TKV11 up front is due soon and I would choose Conti again.
I can't say I have tried many different tyres. The Conti was such an improvement over the bald, carcass-showing, thing that was on it.
I hear they also offer a radial contiattack or something?
I don't ride hard and have half inch chicken strips at the very least.

Conti "GO" tires used to be made in Korea.
Continental sent them out subcontracted to manufacture by I think Stinko.
Thanks

I have never tried the 130/90-17 version but I have Conti Go tires in 100/90-19 front and 120/90-18 rear on my KZ750 and like them. They are a softish tire and easy to install. Continental rates them as a general purpose tire, not a super sport tire. I haven't looked to see where they are made, or where since my set is some years old now.

Shinko has a darn good reputation around here (This forum) for a low priced tire. If you do your own mounting and balancing two sets will assure you of a fresh set of tires for the same mileage you'd get out of the top of the line tires. A good rule of thumb would be to go with Shinko if you don't plan to wear the higher priced ones out within five years.
