Re: [ST] Tyres/Tires

[Erik Miner <eeminer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First off the question should be do I want more milage or ulitmate 
stick??  I ride pretty hard, (no chicken strips on the rear, and maybe a 
quarter inch on the front :-) but I don't want to be replacing tires every 
2-3K miles.. So with that in mind. I really like the Michlin Pilot 
Road..they stick like glue, wet or dry, and after 2500 miles seem to be 
holding up really well. I like them better MUCH better than the B'Stone 020 
and the 010's I've tried (along with Pirelli Dragon GTS, B'Stone BT-54 and 
57, Metzeler ME-Z4 and the Dunlop D-205) The new Metzeler Z-6 is also 
getting good feedback from users. And if you really need lots of 
stick..maybe more than one can or should safely use on the street, Metzeler 
M-1 Sportec's seem to be universally loved as are the Michlin Pilot Sport.
