I'm about 14 stone, usually have luggage on the bike and that particular back tyre was subjected to a few rear wheel slides/spinning the back wheel up   .

I've done 4k on my Z6s - lots of that has been quick and/or two up - no real signs of wear at all yet

I've got road attacks myself. Great grip but they turn in quick, which can be unerving if your only pootling, but don't notice if your 'pressing on'

my Z6 rear has just come to the end of it's life at 14K miles. Completely squared off though (64 miles on motorway per day) but still had confidence in them. Replacing it on Saturday with..... yep, a Z6.

I've not noticed anything bad from my Conti's... and they where cheaper then the Z6's.
Even in the wet they seem to ride just fine. |
