Blue, that's a pretty sweeping statement.

In the past, I've had the stock Dunlops on the bike, and they were OK (not knowing much different on a big bike). Then I changed to Z6's. They were great! Plenty of grip, last for ages.

Then I took a gamble, and went for the Michelin PR2s. And you know what, I'm glad I did! They're even better than the Z6's IMO.

I've tasted tarmac twice on the Z6s, and have yet to try it on PR2s (both cases in the past were my fault, not the tyres), and as for no grip, my pegs say differently after they have tasted tarmac.
