I'm fairly sure they're all dual compound sports touring tyres... Just google them, The PR2, Z6 and Roadattack I have used personally, the others i've heard good feedback on and am considering them for when I next change

Happy with my Metzeler Z6's much better than the Z4's which were scary

No, but I always used to preffer Pirelli's. I only have Metzeler's on mine because I preffer to have same brand on front and rear

I got on well with the 021's on my pointy.

I was getting some good mileage out of them too.

i've seen good things about the bt021's but for every person who likes them seems to be someone else who doesn't. looks like i'll just get either 021's or stradas and make my own mind up. I'm also now looking at getting a zx10 shock to fit aswell.

As long as you like the tyres that your using and have confidence in them, who cares what others think?

Why dont you just get a zx10 to go with the shock and forget about the upgrade...

Ive got 014 on the front and replaced the rear 014 with the 021 cos i couldnt afford to keep replacing it every 2-3 months (3k miles)!!

For the way i ride (not a ot of lean ) i have total confidence in them and have ridden through torrential rain a few times with no grip problems at all.

love too but don't trust myself with one. think i'll just play about with the curvy for now plus its cheaper. want to learn how to ride it properly before i go for more speed. plus it was great fun at the last trackday i had going past cbr's and zxr's on the curvy knowing that i really shouldn't be able too.
