Re: [ST] Z6's

[Garry Simmons <garrysimmons@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Watch those tires closely. Z6s are basically Diablo Stradas (or visa versa). The Diablos do not have wear bars in the center either. I find it very hard to tell when a Diablo is really shot. I have been surprised by cords showing in the middle of ride with the last two Diablos I've had. I like the tire and will continue to use them, but it'd sure be nice if I could tell how much tread was left in the center when they are clearly nearing end of life. I was 90 miles into a 400 mile ride when I noticed cords last Saturday. Had to turn around and limp home rather than finishing the ride.

> Jack, I too am running Z6's for the first time.  I have about 3,000 miles on the tires at this time.  I too am concerned about the lack of wear bars.  I seem to still have a reasonable amunt of life life judging by the trend towards the out edges.  I generally wear the tires evenly side to side.
