In my experience, the Z6's have been the dog's bullocks :-D
Until recently I really haven't had a chance to ride when it's warm and dry, and most of their miles have been in the wet to very wet pouring down rain. Their wet grip, I'd say, is tenacious.

Finally got to go for a ride the other day up one of my favorite technical roads, dry and warm.

When I got back I found that I'll need a new set of boots as I ground the outside edges off my old ones down to the cords.

I don't remember my mileage on them but it's around 3000-3500 and there has been no discernible cupping to the front, or squaring off the rear. It looks like I'll get very good use of them.

I was thinking of getting the Avons but at the time the Z6's were just coming out and I had read good reviews in Road Racing World and my dealer gave my such a good deal mounted and balanced I went with them and I'm very glad I did.

I'll write a further in the Tire Thread.

Don
