After the "tech day" at Morton's yesterday after the cub meeting--very nice job, Stuart, thanks!--I took a good look at my tires and brakes. The front tire needs to be replaced --though the rear looks, to my unpracticed eyes, to be OK. So the question--up for discussion and not to start an argument --is what to put on
Right now, I'm running Metzler Z6's--which I've been happy with. By the time I get to the dealer in a week or so, I'll have gotten nearly 9400 miles out of them, which isn't as bad as I thought. However, I'm still looking for the magic 10K off a front, so based on what I've read here--and after what Stuart said yesterday regarding mixing brands--I'm seriously thinking of going to Michelin's Pilot Road 2's or 3's. But I'm willing to hear what others people's experiences are are for tires for an "RT-type" bike.
Thanks for your consideration.
