    Haven't had themself but have followed a couple where the Z6 while good dry squirm and slip a little when pressing on in wet twisties compared to others with Pilot Powers. Have had 5 sets of Pilot Powers across 2 bikes but have just changed the worn front for a Pilot Road 2 ( with a near new Power rear ) , so far it seems excellent.

    Just in case you needed convincing on the Road 2's below Vid is a documentry on how they protect you against curve demons and sea monsters: :smile:

    I'm about to mount the new Pirelli Diablo Rosso (rear) tomorrow. Already have a Diablo on the front. I'm curious to see how it'll do. Sounds, though, like the Strada's would get more longevity.

    One option not mentioned yet is the Continental Road Attack.
    I'm on my second set and absolutely love them.

    I can't say this enough, buy a set and end your search for tires. I've been through them all, many miles. The Strada's are the best for mileage and grip. I ride mine hard and they've never, ever failed me. I been through at least 5 sets now between my Blackbird and now the VFR. Excellent tire.
