The test bike was a BMW S 1000 RR, using a 200/55 rear tire.
Alcarras Circuit in the northern Spain, provided the setting for the dry weather test, where the ContiRaceAttack Comp Endurance scored 206 from a possible 230 points across all areas. With a 1:02.7s lap time, it was 0.7 s faster than the Michelin, and a whole 2.3 s faster than the Dunlop. It also topped the ranking in terms of outright grip and behavior at the limit.
Official lap times:
- Pirelli: 1.02,3
- Continental: 1.02,7
- Michelin: 1.03,4
- Dunlop: 1.05,0
The wet test was conducted at Michelin’s Salon-de-Provence test center, with the Continental scoring 88 points from a possible 100 in order to finish and join first place with the Pirelli. The DOT race tire scored maximum points for both handling and steering accuracy in the wet. It also topped the scores for feedback, behavior at the limit and performance under braking.
