Another update. So far I've put in about 400 miles on the hides and have them pretty well scrubbed in side to side.

The wet grip is great. Not only in the pouring down rain but also in the nether world of fog and mist where the pavement is damp both in lean and straight up.

In the dry in some rougher corners where the BT57's would have some trouble even fairly fresh such as front chatter and walking and the rear stepping out or just plain drifting. The Z6's exhibited none of these problems or tendencies and just stuck to the game plan.

The slow and fast corners where the pavement is good and smooth are no brainers.

I'm liking these because unlike the BT57's where I would have to accommodate myself to the tires the Z6's seem more than willing to accommodate themselves to me.
I have a tendency to push the front and I'm also finding that the front tire is doing a good job of talking to me and so far it hasn't been complaining.

I'm running 36 / 38 psi Ft/Rear. So far this has been working out fine but will juggle the pressures a bit to experiment.
