Trail attack!
I haven't had a chance to attack any trails yet, but on the road they are great. They only have a few hundred miles on them. I went with a 100/90-19 front and 140/80-17 rear for my '03 Bonneville and I really like the handling. Pretty easy to drag the pegs with these bad boys.
An interesting observation...
The rear tire cost more than double the front, it is made in Germany, and when mounted it required no weight for balancing.
The front tire was VERY inexpensive, made in Korea, and required more weights than I've ever seen to balance a tire.
You decide how you want to interpret that info...
I can't comment on wet traction or tread life yet though.
Bang for the buck... Well the cost of the front tire made it a good deal as a combo, but they rear was SOOO expensive I'd probably try something new when they wear out.

Confidence Inspiring
Steady predictable grip, better that the Bridgestone Battlewings they replaced. Not much use off road, but I wasn't expecting them to.

These tires have improved my riding
I replaced my stock Dunlop's on my 2011 KLR 650 with the front and rear Continental Trail Attack dual sport tires. These tires made my riding a lot smoother and they grip very well in turns. I also appear to be experiencing better handling in strong cross winds on the road. I have taken these on light gravel at 25 mph and I was able to handle my bike just fine. I did not rate the Tread life or Wet Traction because i have not experienced either although I am expecting better results from both do to Continental's quality of rubber. I have seen an improvement of approximately 2 miles per gallon from the stock Dunlop's. I highly recommend these tires.

Awesome grip on wet road.
It's way better than the original tire ( Dunlop ) that came with my '09 DRZ400SM. As to Tread life, that is yet to be tested in my case. I only had this tire for 2 weeks.

Terrible Tread Life
Replaced my stock Battlewings with these tires and they shake at 35mph (Bar shake roughly 3" back and forth). Even after Conti shipped me a new front tire it still shook until I replaced with a different brand tire. The rear tire after 2500 miles is also almost shot so I would not suggest these tires to anyone.

Great set of tires
The Conti Trail Attack tires are awesome. I bought them as a replacement for Michelin Anakee 2 tires and I absolutely love the Contis. They have great traction and perform awesome in the rain. I can't assess the tread life yet as I've only had them for 500 miles or so, but so far so good.
