    what was wrong with the Z6's? Or are you determined to try something new...

    Personal view: if you find a tyre that works, stick with it until you're forced to move on.

    I enjoyed the Contis on my previous 1200, I'd suspect you would as well on your Kawa. Should get good kms out of the Road Attacks, but struth the Sports are sticky.

    Why not grab a couple of sets from the F3 boys --
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Ok, try the M3's if you want something more sticky. Else get the Pirellie Strada. They are same as the Z6 compound, but personally I like the profile better.
