Road Attack 2 are the best tyres in the world... but they last so little. I was hoping Sport Attacks 2 are a bit more durable. Oh yes, RA2 are also very thin. A friend who races keeps telling me to stay away from Michelines and Contis since they don't have a metal, but canvas lining and are too thin and soft - "if you blow a front tyre on any glass/pothole etc, you'll have 0 time to slow down and prevent going off road". But those RA2 felt soooo good! Very predictable, excellent grip. If Sport Attack 2 are similar, but longer lasting... 3k miles is too little. How much mileage do you get from other tyres? Maybe on a FZS600 they could last a bit longer than on a 1200cc Bandit. I also heard from a British biker that roads on the Island are a lot grippier, but harder on tyres. Roads in my country are too slippery, but tyres last looong time. Except for RA2s that is.
