I've put a set of the Continental Road Attacks on mine. With almost 6k miles on the back and almost 3k on the front. I like them so far. I like them better than the BT57s. And I really didn't have any complaints about the BT57s except for the way the cupped.

General comments:

They haven't cupped like the BT57s did. They have done well in the rain. They grip well in the corners. The front is better planted with the Road Attack than it is with the BT57. I guess my only complaint is if you are in a corner and use the front brake, the bike likes to stand up. However, it doesn't stand up when I trail brake. They have worn pretty good so far. No cupping that I can tell. I still have a good amount of tread left. I imagine I'll get about the same mileage out of them as I did my BT57s of which I got 8.5k (tread bars were just starting to show) off of the rear and 11.5k off of the front. However, the front still had some tread left. But it was cupped pretty badly.

I can't compare them against anything else except for the BT57s.

FWIW and YMMV
