Hello everyone,

If anyone is running Continentals, I have a new RA4 180/55-17 for the asking.

However, it's the GT model (it was installed before I noticed the GT rating, thus not returnable).

I always ran Michelin until balance issues, so switched to the RA3 for two sets & this Version 4 is quite good. Both the 3 & 4 perform well in inclement weather & all around performance.

Ride safe.

All I've run are Avon and Metzler, so I'm no help.

Almost due for another set, all ears -

Good evening,

Located about 2 hours north of Sacramento, Ca.

The GT rating is a stiffer sidewall, for heavier motorcycles. I find the standard non-GT tire better for my style riding.

After several sets of the RA Continentals, they are a very good all around tire, even wet weather capable.
