Re: [ST] Z6's, etc.

Regarding tire wear indicators (TWI), here is an interesting thread on
the subject over at Sport-touring.net.

Apparently there ARE twi's on the Z6, but many have expressed doubts as
to their effectiveness...

BTW, I ran 39 psi rear and 38 psi front in the Z6's.
I don't understand why there is no molded in indicators. This seems
like a
safety issue to me.
The tire looked fine and I thought I had at least 2k left on it. One
high
speed run at around 90 for sixty miles and when I stopped there was a
lot
of cord.
It made me swallow hard to think what could have happened and I had no
clue
it was coming. It was like a toggle switch with no warning. I'm
talking
slightly squared. Not bad, just slightly.
BTW, no response from Metzler yet and I ordered my old standby Z4
yesterday. Anyone know why the part number on Z4's changed and the
price is
ten bucks more?
