The rear is coming up for replacement and I am considering a few:
Metzeler M3
Metseler Z6
Pirelli Diablo Rosso
Michelin Pilot Power Road 2
Continental Attack
Considerations:
I commute 90% of the time, rain or shine
I go for spirited weekend blasts in the twisties
Went into a bike shop the other day that also fits Michelin. Mechanic actually recommended against them! Also confirmed the story that I have been heard of them changing characteristics after about 50% of wear. He reckons Michelin is over rated...
He recommended the (slightly cheaper) Metzelers: Z6 or M3.
After I said I’d be happy with 8 to 10K km’s he said go for the M3, more stickier, although he reckons the Z6 is excellent in the wet and has sold truckloads…
I get the idea that Metzeler is an under rated (and slightly cheaper than Michelin) tire..
Also reading and hearing rave reviews about the Pirelli Diablo Rosso - Pirelli and Metzeler being the same company...got me very interested in trying Metzeler.
Any suggestions?
