@@kengsadventure1806 I'm constantly looking at the weather App Ken...we'll be back out there soon. Thanks, yes just got 1k subs, my subscribers are easily pleased 😀. Your vids are improving all the time, love your vids as does the better half, at least i think its the bike stuff she likes & not your soothing narrative delivery 😉
Hi Kevin the Trail Attack 3 on my bike are R rated, which are for the heavier adventure bikes ( R1250GSA) fully loaded high speed runs no problems. Can't find any information on V rated 😕 thanks for watching and subscription. Up at ABR Festival end of the month I'll ask about. What bike have you got.
I have the BMW GSA R1250 hp exactly the same as your bike , still running the original Bridgestone A41 a good tyre but the front is wearing rather odd . After 4000 miles so looking to change to the trail attack 3 at some point in the near future a mate of mine uses the V rated on the gsa and swears by them.
@kevinhall5539 Sure I had the V rated before this set. Had a local bike shop order and fit this last pair and until your comment didn't realize they are not the same. But use these on some trails and fully loaded trips and happy with them.
Hi Kevin Ken here just ordered some new off road tyres. So while there I asked what the ratings on my continental trail attack 3 was he looked at me daft and said V rated and showed me in small print on the tyres (m/s 72V ) Hope this clears up the confusion. The R in the tyre size is not the rating 😮 live and learn.
Looked at road attack 4 the last time when I had to change the rear after the punctures. And think that I'll try them next. Talking to the owner of the tyre shop he had good feed back with no issues. Just got back from Ireland and going Scotland in a few weeks. Will need new tyres before or after the trip. Let me know what you go for, and feel about them. Cheers and thanks for watching.
@@kengsadventure1806I'm on a charity rideout - bikersrideoutforprems where we visit 14 hospitals across the country and delivery equipment to NICUs. Leaving Dublin, heading north via Drogheda, Cavan, Enniskillen and across to Letterkenny. Then along the west coast via Sligo, Galway, Limerick, Tralee down to Cork, and then across to Waterford, Portlaoise, Mullingar and then back to Dublin. Should be great. 21 bikes going. If the weather holds, it will be brilliant .. if not, it'll still be good fun.
just ordered conti trail attack 3 on my KTM 950 adv. because I will spend most of my riding on the pavement this year. Have been using TKC 80 twinduro so far, so I am really looking forward what my feelings will be with the new tires :) Thx for your reviews.
I've been sort of off road. I think I rode over an old roll of barbed wire in the mud. Only a thought got no real explanation. Big thanks for watching.
1. Stop running over debris in the road 2. It's not the tires fault that your 1st plug didn't hold 3. Considering how quickly you discovered the puncture at home, stop going to the shop that couldn't find the first puncture
Not all the roads we use are clean. Covered in mud, leaves, hedge cutting. The same goes for the puncture repair it was wet and in a dirty back lane. As for my motorad dealer not able to find a leak who knows.
@Kengs Adventure that's just excuses for lack of riding ability and poor work. You are supposed to avoid debris on the road and a plug can successfully be installed on a trail in the woods at night. Don't know why you are mentioning the button in a video about tire punctures
Thanks my special south Wales friend, I know exactly what to do now regarding punctures, take you along with me for the next tour 😂👍
Hope it's not too long until we have a ride out again . Big congrats 👏 on your 1k subscribers. Keep up the good work you make a good video.

Did you fit the V Rated trail attack 3 as it’s something I am looking at getting .

I'm tossing up between the TA3 and the RA4 tyres. Still plenty of miles left on my current Anakee Adventures.

@@kengsadventure1806I've a trip around Ireland this week, probably about 2,000km .. so when I get back from that, I'll look for new tyres.
Loved Ireland, great roads fantastic views. Southwest we did. Looking at a trip round the north down the west back on the south.

Hope they work for you, l found they work well great grip wet and dry, but was hoping for better mileage.
Just plain unlucky or a tack-magnet?

Holy shit, I'm happy to get 4000 miles out of any rear
Hi Jim, what are you riding. I was hoping to get around 10000 miles.

Bridgestone Battlax are the only tyre I've had that low mileage
The fronts seem to wear the worst. I'm on Bridgestones, OE fitment.
Michelin Anakee 3 fitted on mine from new.
Sides on the front went at 8000 miles, and back would have done another two.
Think you need a new tyre ken 😂
Yes, I have put one on. Thanks 😊

The puncture your on about, I was talking the bike in for the switch gear on the left side to be changed as menu button sticking.
