Re: Conti Classic Attack tires
The Conti site does not identify them as "front" or "rear." They just show 3 sizes: 100/90 R 19 M/C 57 V TL, 110/90 R 18 M/C 61 V TL, 120/90 R 18 M/C 65 V TL. The tread is identical, so you should be able to run them front or rear . . . IF they fit within the fender bracket.

Thanks for the input. Blitz - - I'd say there's a set of Classics in my future...
Re: Conti Classic Attack tires
Update. I ordered my daughter a set of these tires for her Sucati GO650.
New front tread depth: 0.16 in
New rear tread depth: 0.27 in
3500 miles front tread depth: 0.14 in. (Wow! /7 brakes do suck!)
3500 miles rear tread depth: 0.14 in
IF the minimum tread depth is ~1/16 of an inch, then the expected life of this tire (assuming that the tread wears evenly through its thickness) would be ~5500 miles.
So, my exuberance is tempered a bit. The front tire is really good, the rear tire wore a bit more than i thought. Given how we rode and the amount of stuff i was carrying, I am still satisfied with the tires. I would (and did) buy another set.
