    Continental ContiMotion anyone using them?

    Just had a Contimotion spooned on my spare rear wheel so I can replace the plugged tire I have now. Is anyone using these? reviews were good online but I don't know how they are on the Rex.

    Got a rear one on mine right now...3,700 miles on it, no issues. Put it on @ Thanksgiving and rode from here to Gatlinburg and back, rode through the Smokies in 45 degrees with light rain and mist, been riding here down to 40 degrees. I'm a high speed commuter, long distance rider, happy with it so far. Been running Conti Forces, this looks like it might do a bit better mileage wise.

    Thank Ya I am getting my gear back to snuff and the Rex so I can go back to riding 90% of the time since I don't get to travel for work anymore. Have a mixed set now with a BT014 on the front with the Conti out back. When I burn these off it will be matched tires again.

    One of the SSC guys known as Fast Eddie , who rides a beemer Adventure, is now running a rear Motion with a Road Attack on the front.....he loves it!

    The beemer is in the same weight bracket as the ZRX, and for Eddie to make that statement is really something!!

    As an aside, I have run 4 or 5 sets of the Conti-Force, front and rear, the last 2 sets, the front one has cupped, not bad enough to concern me, but noticed it the same. ( Currently motion on back, force on front, and it is slightly cupped). Just upped the psi to compensate...38-40. Looks like I'll probably go with the motion front and rear, pending no issues when I change the front to a motion.

    Looks like I will be putting a motion on the front then when my current front dies. Going back to commuting since I don't get to travel anymore.
