Sticky tyre for summer '06?

Nice tyres once warm, of course, no disputing that, overall I didn't think they were as good as the Vipers.

Avon Viper Sports or if you don't mind spending a bit more for a little less milage than go for the Supersports. They really are a good tyre and they warm up real quick!

I dont like the either. They feel very vague when cold. I think the Z6's give more feedback than 014's in the cold and wet. I agree with Carsick once you have got them hot and can ride the bike hard enough to keep them hot then they are a good tyre. They for me dont inspire confidence when its cold and damp.

Also they dont last long 1400 miles out of rear I've been getting on the GSXR.

I've been recommnded Pilot Power 2CT's ( I think ) tyre guy said they last longer than the 014 and have better sidewall grip.

I really liked the feel of the Z6's on the SV I never tried anything sticker on it though.
