Default Michelin Pilot Power

I went to get some Z6's fitted sat, but they were out of stock, So I got the Michelin instead. If anyone is looking then the're def recommended! They dont seem to turn in quite so fast as the Z6's, which suits me fine, but the grip is really solid and you can certainly get on the power nice and early! £186 fitted.
Anyone know what they're like in the wet???????

Fab tyre by all accounts, but you're only likely to get 50% of the wear that you would from a Z6, so maybe they actually cost you £372 .

I got 6000 miles out of my first rear and the first front is still going strong, so not too bad. They do seem to grip well in the wet. I don't think that I've had them slip when warm.

Apart from the fact that you ride on the pavement, just how sticky do you think there tyres are?
