conti RA3's discontinued - best replacement?

(1/3) > >>

mdhen:
I need to replace my road attack 3s soon on my v7iii. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for the best option now that getting more road attack 3s is impossible. Thanks.

Vagrant:
I've run off several sets of Bridgestone A41 front and rear and the T32 front as well. Fine tire and reasonably priced.

chrisfer:
On the V7 750 I II & III, to stay with the radial structure, there are actually not too many choices, the bridgestone A41.

Jack Straw:
I feel your pain about the RA-3.  The Bridgestone BT46 is not a radial but otherwise is VERY good.  I ran a set on my V7 III for 5000 miles.  The RA-3 seems to ride a little softer and will likely last a couple thousand miles more than the 46 though it's meaningless if ya can't get 'em.  Good luck.

For the front if I do the A41 it looks like I would need to use 110/80-18 instead of the standard stock size, how would that affect handling if at all?

and I only really need to replace the rear right now, they are both radials so I could run the A41 in rear and the RA3 in front right?
