Sticky followed by Hard....

Hi all,

I've put 2.5k on my bike, bringing it up to 8k km, it's still on the pezzy original Metz Z4 stuff, although I'm loving the bike so can't imagine what better tyres will mean....probably less wearing in of the crash bungs!!

Anyway would like some advice on some tyres for 4-6k km for spring early summer, then to swap to something a bit more touring as planning a long trip out to eastern europe (6-8k km in 15 days but probably less when reality sets in!) and back and want the second set to last.

So what I want in a nutshell:
Tyre set 1: Sticky, doesn't have to last too long.
Tyre set 2: Hard wearing to cover the trip, but with enough feel that after the above I don't feel like I'm riding on something imported from China for 50p.

Suggestions for the above please.

Why do you need 2 sets, when one will do the trick

Stick some Metz Z6's on
