It has been over a year now, but I bought a set of continental tires for my kawasaki zn1300 from dennis kirk. I had the tires installed at a local kawasaki dealership.in less than four months, a huge bubble surfaced in the middle of the tire while i was riding home from work. I parked the bike and immediatly contacted continental tires. They suggested that the tire had been improperly installed, (installed by the dealer), or i had ridden over a curb or a pothole in the road.
Anybody that knows anything about the kawasaki voyager knows that it weighs about as much as a vw bug! I don't ride over curbs and i avoid road hazards all the time. I have had other brands, but i wasn't getting the mileage out of the rear tire (s) i was looking for... So I tried the more expensive continental touring tire and it is the worst so far... Because as far as i am concerned this is a defective tire. The tread hardly even looks worn, yet i will not ride this bike with continental tires on it.
The only thing I am trying to say here is, if you ride heavy bikes, this tire is not for you.
