    I'm pretty happy with the Metzeler Z6's which I've got on at the moment.

    depends who's riding and what, but anywhere from 30 secs to 5000km

    if spend 50% time commuting, go Pirelli Diablo Strada on back, Pirelli Diablo on front.... those Z6's arnt bad either

    Yeah, but does your bike have a lean angle of 50 degrees?

    Not a chance!
    I find that the Z6s seem to be running out of angle at about the same time as stuff starts scraping.

    I think if I put Pilot Powers on my bike i'd feel compelled to change my name to Chickenstripstar.
