Great info Rusty, thanks.

I will copy your post and spread the word in a couple of other forums.

Thanks for passing on this info Rusty - both me and my mate have a ContiSportAttack 2 that fall in this range. We've just emailed the contact in Wales to tell us how we go about replacing them

Mines included as well, thank you

Mine too! Thanks for the heads up.

yep my front is in the batch too, phoned Cambrian Tyres who are dealing with the UK exchange program waiting to hear when a replacement will be sent to my tyre dealer

Took a while but I finally got around to getting my new front tyre fitted yesterday. Talking to the guy at the garage this has all come from a single failure. Great to get a new tyre for no real reason! When the rear is burnt out the next rear will have a much fresher front to work with. Result.

Yep, got mine fitted too last Tuesday. Couldn't see anything wrong with the old one, apart from the fact it was 3/4 worn out ����
