Really grippy but mine failed to last more than 1500 miles. For me that just wasn't viable. :twisted:

Metzeler Z6 (standard, no interact). Last forever (> 6.000 mls), enough grip for me in dry or wet weather. Handling is okay, even when worn. My recommendation if you do not need a sports tyre.

Also liked the OEM D208, but the handling got more and more nervous with wear, especially, with a growing v-shape of the front tyre.

Roadsmarts for me too this time. Just scrubbed them in ('bout 350 miles!), and am very impressed so far They feel a little "harsher" than the rossos I had on before but don't seem to suffer in the grip department at all. Really predictable. Not had too much wet riding yet, but I bought them hoping they'll last longer than the Rossos. I loved them, but only got about 1500 -2000 miles out of them, (the rossos) and they both wore out at the same time....

Si.
