Great touring tire
This is a great tire for long road trips on a big ADV bike or a sporting ADV bike like an MS1200 or a S1000XR. They handle like sportbike tires, run quiet and smooth and have great wet and dry traction on pavement. About the only place they fall short is off-road - this is a 90-10 tire. I rode some gravel and wet road construction areas and they did OK but if you are in deep gravel, they are pretty squirrelly.
At 11k km, the center of the rear tread is at the wear bars while there is still some life left in the shoulders (hey, I live in AB). This has led to a rough transition from upright to lean, almost like riding on knobbies. It started at about 9k km and is only noticeable at slow speeds.
The front is about 60% worn at the same mileage.

flawless road grip wet or dry
I wanted a set of long lasting street tires for a tour across Canada from Victoria - St, John's and back on my dual sport (DR 650). By the time I went across and was near Toronto again I had to replace the rear which is better than average around 14000 km. The front looked barely worn after the trip by wear bars but the cracks all over it said it was finished. I've had different tires before and after but there is nothing that grips in the rain like this. Caught in several thunderstorms in Ontario some so severe the cars were pulling over because wipers couldn't keep up and water pooling on the highway was not a problem for these tires. They grip like the water isn't there. Even the rear brake alone quickly brings the bike to a stop in the rain and that does't work on any other tire I've tried since a lightweight rear usually just skids under hard braking. I'm convinced tires don't get better than this for street use for adventure/dual sports. I used it briefly on hard packed dirt trail which any tire can do and a few gravel roads - of course that felt sketchy is anything confidence inspiring on gravel?

Great 80/20 tire for all round performance
Been running these on my R1200GS for a few years now, front and rear. Sticky right out of the wrapping. No run in required. Commuting, Sunday rips and long touring trips, 2 up and fully loaded, getting great mileage. 10k+ out of the rear. Very good in the wet. Handles unpaved roads well but best on the tarmac. Just back from a 5000km trip (fully loaded) and well over 50% left. Will keep buying these.

Best tire so far for Ducati MTS1200
I tried Pirelli and Metzeler, but this is so far the longest lasting tire, I ride a lot with a passenger and full side bags and top box. Very good grip on wet and dry road, in curves. I went off road and they are also handling good on gravel or a bit sandy surface, definitely getting another set for the season, over 14000km this year, still good to go for couple thousand.

Feels good so far
Bought this for a replacement for my stock rear tire (Pirelli Scorpion Trail) for my CB500X. Feels great, VERY planted and grippy on road, and feels great for the light offroading I've been doing. Still waiting for my front to wear down more, then I will definitely be getting the Trail Attack II up there as well. Very happy with experience so far. Only have 2XXX kms so far, seems to be wearing good so far.

Good tires
I drive 6 miles of gravel on my daily commute to work on a Kawasaki versys. Great tires for both dirt and pavement. Haven't tried them in the rain yet so my review is neutral for that area.

Great replacement tire
Put a pair of these Trail Attack 2's on then did a 6400KM ride down to the California coast thru lots of twisty roads with hot & cold weather , rain and sun and they performed well and the frt is wearing very well.Not great off road but if you ride a Vstrom mostly on the road it is a good replacement for the Trailwings

Great Tire
I was looking for a little more dirt friendly tire than regular street tires when I came across the Trailattack II’s. After install scrub in was less than 100km in the warm weather. A week later off to Oregon I went. The tires work great on pavement, allowing me the same lean angle as full on street tires. The Continentals work well on gravel and rougher trails despite being only a 10% off road tire, without lowering the tire pressure. I highly recommend these tires for anyone wanting to dabble off road, they are great.
It hasn’t rained yet so I can’t report on wet grip, but crossing streams was good.
I now have 2800km( 1700 miles) on the tires without complaints

Questions
Does the Conti Trail attack allow for tubes. I have a 2007 KTM 950 se with spoked wheels.
Only the size 140/80-18 is a Tube Tire, indicated with TT at the end of the tire code.
