RE: [ST] New Metzeler RoadTec Z6

["Heyer, Matthew A." <mheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

My remarks are strictly in comparison to the aforementioned Bridgestone's.
I do no pretend to make any other claims, as I have no personal knowledge of
the behavior or characteristics of any other tire.  So, to put this remark
in context, the Z6 has almost no tendency where as the BT-010's did have a
tendency to stand the bike up under braking in a corner.

There are many brands of tires that don't have a tendency to stand the bike 
up in corner while braking, but ONLY when NEW. So I think it is too soon to 
draw any conclusions.
