RE: [ST] Tyres/Tires

Rupert,

I just got back home from an awsome track day on my RS. Man, what HUGE
difference in this bike now that the suspension has been upgraded (Penske
rear, Race Tech front), and the track day is where it REALLY shines.

Onto tyres:

After 3 sets of BT-020's, I switched to Metzeler Sportec M-1's. Now I've
been through 4 rears, two fronts. I really like these as sportriding/track
day tyres. However, I'm going to start riding my bike as a commuter, about
54 miles each way to work and back on heavily scarified pavement (Mass
Turnpike.)

With all the good reports on Michelin Pilot Road, that's what I just bought
for the task. I know they won't have the grip of the M-1's, but I need more
mileage now. I'll let you now how they are once the M-1's are toast.

It will soon be time for me to replace my tires. Last year I put on 010's
back and front (99 Sprint ST). 

Choices are,

Sport
- - I guess 014's would be the replacement for 010's
- - People seem to like the pilot sport

Sport Touring
- - I have not tried 020's but have heard good things about them
- - I have heard great things about the Avon ST 45/46
- - The Z6's sound interesting

As clear as mud. Anyone have any input?
Rupert
