After running Conti Road Attacks for 35,000 miles I have switched to the Metzler Z6 Interacts. So far the only difference I can tell is that my wallet is lighter. We'll see how they handle the rain and light snow soon though.
And all this after I found a nail in both the front and rear tires of my poor rockster Friday morning!

Sorry about your predicament....suggest you stay away from Nail Rd and find an alternate route.

Re: I Hate Nails
throughout the yrs always rear tire never frt. they say the frt stands the nail up for the rear to catch it...
Don't poke a skunk...
Re: I Hate Nails
That's rotten luck. As mentioned, the front tire is a rare vicitim of shrapnel.found a nail in both the front and rear tires
But the rear tire... worst case I've had was nail pucture 100 miles after mounting a new tire. Tried to stretch out the life of the tire by plugging, but the hole location was too close to sidewall, plug wouldn't hold.
